Management Consulting in Austin, TX
Structure, systems, and Jerry's proprietary MicroFlow Management System, so decisions don't depend on the owner being in the room.
What This Addresses
Management Consulting addresses the structural side of the same condition Leadership Coaching addresses from the people side: the business runs on the owner's constant presence instead of on systems, roles, and processes built to scale.
It is for owners of small and mid-sized businesses in Austin and across Texas who have grown past what one person can personally manage. Revenue is real and the team is capable, yet nothing important happens unless you are in the room.
Leadership Bottleneck
The business cannot make decisions, execute plans, or maintain standards without the owner in the room. Growth has a ceiling. It's you.
Growth Without Structure
Revenue is growing, but the systems, roles, and processes haven't scaled with it. The business is straining under its own success and heading for a breaking point.
The Problem Behind the Problem
When a business outgrows its structure, the usual response is to work harder inside the same system. Owners add hours, people, and software, and the bottleneck stays exactly where it was: on their desk. The slow decisions and inconsistent quality are symptoms. The actual fix is installing the structure, roles, and methods that let the business run without every decision passing through one person. Jerry calls this stall point the founder's ceiling, and it is why so many growing companies plateau between $2M and $10M in revenue.

How Jerry Approaches It
Structure, systems, and methods installed around your business so that decisions, accountability, and performance don't depend on the owner being in the room. Includes Jerry's proprietary MicroFlow Management System.
Every engagement follows the same four steps: Symptom, Diagnosis, Root Cause, Change. Jerry starts with the problem you see, whether that is a profit gap, a leadership clash, or a business that cannot run without you. He then goes beneath it, looking at people, structure, systems, culture, and numbers. Only once the root cause is identified, not guessed at, does he build the plan. Consultants who prescribe before they diagnose fix the wrong thing.
What gets installed depends on the diagnosis, but it usually includes clear roles and decision rights, an accountability system that does not rely on the owner policing it, a management layer that actually manages, and an operating rhythm the team runs on its own. Jerry built these structures as an operator first: he ran national HR and performance management for 8,000 employees and scaled a startup from zero to $10M in two years before consulting on anyone else's business.
Result: A business that runs on systems, not on the owner's constant presence.
The MicroFlow Management System
The operating rhythm at the center of most engagements is Jerry's proprietary MicroFlow Management System: a customized collaborative operating system that builds accountability, role clarity, and internal leadership at every level, so priorities get set and quality improves in real time by the people doing the work. It is built for humans and enhanced, where it fits, by AI. MicroFlow is installed as part of Management Consulting engagements, not sold on its own.
What an Engagement Looks Like
It starts with a free 60-minute consultation. Jerry reviews your situation, identifies your biggest performance gap, and tells you whether an engagement makes sense. If it does, you receive a written proposal stating the scope, the timeline, and the exact investment before any work begins. No open-ended hourly billing.
From there the work is boots-on-the-ground. Jerry works directly with you and your management team, on site in Austin or wherever your business operates in Texas, installing the structure and making sure it holds. Focused projects run 60 to 90 days; deeper organizational work runs multiple quarters. The fee brackets are published openly, from $15,000 for a focused project to $250,000 and up for a full transformation. Unsure whether you need a consultant or a coach?

What the Guarantee Covers
Every management consulting engagement is backed by the 2:1 Payback Guarantee. For every dollar you invest in Jerry's time, you earn back at least two dollars in profit within one year, measured against your baseline before the engagement started. If the benchmark is not met, Jerry keeps working at no cost to you until it is. If your situation makes a direct profit outcome impossible to measure, he tells you before you commit.
Leadership, Culture & Performance
Management Consulting is the structural layer underneath Leadership, Culture, and Performance: the systems and roles that let those three pillars function consistently instead of depending on one person to hold them together. Austin Underground grew from $6M to $18M on the structure Jerry helped build. Goldco grew from $53M to $85M in a single year with Jerry minimizing the growing pains. Both stories are on the client results page.
What This Looks Like in Practice
"From a solid foundation of an organization structure Jerry helped us build, we grew from $6M in 2013 to $18M in 2017."
Frequently asked questions
What does a management consultant in Austin actually do?
A management consultant diagnoses why a business is underperforming and installs the structure, systems, and roles to fix it. Jerry works on site with the owner and management team to build decision rights, accountability, a management layer, and an operating rhythm, so the business stops depending on the owner for every decision.
How is management consulting different from leadership coaching?
Leadership coaching works on the person: the owner, CEO, or senior leaders and how they lead. Management consulting works on the business: its structure, systems, and processes. Many engagements combine both. If your business depends on you being in the room, the structural fix is management consulting.
How long does a management consulting engagement take?
A focused project, such as building an accountability system or operating rhythm for one team, typically runs 60 to 90 days. Restructuring across several departments usually runs three to six months. Full transformations at larger companies can take a year or more. The timeline is stated in writing before work begins.
How does the 2:1 Payback Guarantee apply to management consulting?
Your baseline numbers are documented before the engagement starts. Within one year, measurable profit improvement must equal at least twice the fees paid for Jerry's time. If it does not, Jerry keeps working at no cost until it does. If a direct profit outcome cannot be measured in your situation, he tells you before you commit.
Before You Fix the Problem, Make Sure You're Fixing the Right One.
The free initial consultation is a 60-minute no-obligation conversation where Jerry reviews your situation, identifies your biggest performance gap, and recommends a clear path forward. Tell him briefly what's going on, and he'll follow up directly.
