The Founder Tax Calculator. Free from Fulcrum Fractional

Before you hire an operations leader, know your number.

Two minutes with this calculator and you'll know what your current ops are costing you in revenue each year. Seriously.

Start with my number

Free. Every formula shown. No call required to see your number.

Certified EOS Integrator Author, The Leverage Point Creator, The Fulcrum Blueprint

The number first. Everything else after.

Two minutes to the number. Twenty more, only if you want the plan. No sales call required for any of it.

1Two minutes on your real week

Approvals, firefighting, admin, chasing. Fourteen quick answers. The prompts keep you honest.

2See the bill

Your hourly value, then your Founder Tax: five line items, every formula shown. It reads like an invoice because it is one.

3Get the refund

The Founder Refund: the twenty-minute working tool we run with every client. Your hours become a plan, priced in dollars back.

Business doesn't improve when you grind harder. It gets better when you design smarter.

What a Fulcrum engagement is

Fractional means the seat is filled and the payroll line is not. Here is what filled looks like.

An operator in the seat, not a deck on your desk

Fractional COO and Integrator work, embedded in your business a set number of days per week. I run the operating rhythm and take the load that should never have been yours.

Built on a named framework

The Fulcrum Blueprint: founder capacity, roles and ownership, the weekly operating system, focus, communication. Five modules, installed in order.

EOS-fluent from day one

If you run EOS, I sit in the Integrator seat as a Certified EOS Integrator. If you do not, you get the same discipline without the vocabulary homework.

Priced like an instrument, not a headcount

A fraction of a full-time executive's cost, none of the recruiting bet. The report shows the exact comparison against your own Founder Tax, so the decision runs on your numbers, not my adjectives.

Don't take my word for it

Who you would be working with

I'm Mark Skalla. Seven and a half years building and running my own agency taught me what being the bottleneck costs, the expensive way. Fulcrum Fractional exists so founders can skip that tuition.

I keep the client roster deliberately short. The calculator above is how every conversation starts.
