Reclaim Your Focus: A Structured Approach to Scaling
Four disciplines, each designed to solve a specific problem that slows growing companies down. Every engagement starts with the outcome you need and works backward.
Project Management
You'll meet every deadline without your team burning out. Timelines stay realistic. Budgets stay intact. And you'll know exactly where every project stands at any given moment.
Here's how: we embed ourselves in your project workflow, build the plan from scratch (or restructure the one that isn't working), assign clear ownership to every task, and deliver weekly status reports that actually tell you something useful — not a color-coded dashboard full of vanity metrics.
Does this work for small teams? It works especially well for small teams. When you have five people instead of fifty, a missed deadline cascades faster and costs more proportionally. We've managed projects for teams as small as three and as large as eighty.
What You Receive
- Complete project plan with milestones, dependencies, and risk assessments
- Weekly status reports delivered every Friday by 3 PM
- Real-time access to project tracking dashboard
- Post-project documentation and training materials for your team
- 30 days of follow-up support after project close
Who This Serves
Small and medium-sized companies undertaking expansion projects, system implementations, office relocations, or operational restructuring. Particularly effective for businesses that have outgrown informal project tracking but aren't ready to hire a full-time PM.
Discuss Your Project TimelineBusiness Consulting
You'll have a clear, actionable plan within 48 hours of our diagnostic review — not a stack of theoretical recommendations your team can't implement.
Here's how: we spend the first week listening. Interviews with your leadership team, review of your financial and operational data, observation of your workflows. Then we identify the three to five specific changes that will move the needle most. We prioritize ruthlessly because we know your team's bandwidth is finite.
We should be honest about something: we're a one-person firm with a network of trusted specialists. For most consulting engagements, that's an advantage — you get undivided attention and zero overhead markup. For engagements requiring a team of ten analysts, we'll refer you to a firm better suited. That candor has earned more long-term clients than any sales pitch.
What You Receive
- Written diagnostic assessment within five business days
- Prioritized action plan with estimated timelines and resource requirements
- Implementation support (optional, scoped separately)
- Training materials for any new processes introduced
- Quarterly check-in calls for six months post-engagement
Who This Serves
Companies hitting a growth ceiling — revenue is increasing but margins are compressing, or the team is working harder without proportional results. Common triggers include a second location, a new product line, or a founder who needs to step out of daily operations.
Request a Diagnostic AssessmentQuality Assurance
Errors caught before they reach your clients. Consistent standards maintained as your team grows. The confidence that what leaves your office is right — every time.
Here's how: we audit your existing processes, identify where errors originate (spoiler: it's rarely where you think), and build QA frameworks that fit your actual workflow — not a textbook template. Checklists, review protocols, escalation procedures, all documented and tested with your team before we hand them over.
A detail we think matters: quality assurance isn't just about catching mistakes. It's about building systems where mistakes become structurally difficult to make. The best QA framework is one your team uses without thinking about it, because it's woven into how they already work.
What You Receive
- Process audit report identifying error sources and frequency
- Custom QA framework with checklists and review protocols
- Team training sessions (in-person or virtual)
- Documentation formatted for your existing systems
- 60-day review to measure error reduction and refine protocols
Who This Serves
Companies experiencing quality inconsistencies as they scale — the work that was flawless when the founder did everything starts showing cracks when delegated to a growing team. Particularly relevant for professional services firms, construction companies, and any business where errors carry regulatory or liability consequences.
Start a Quality AuditStrategic Sourcing
Better vendors. Better terms. Fewer late deliveries. A supply chain that actually supports your growth instead of limiting it.
Here's how: we evaluate your current vendor relationships against market alternatives, negotiate improved terms on your behalf, and build a sourcing framework that gives you options when your primary suppliers fall short. We know Alberta's vendor landscape — the reliable operators, the ones who overpromise, and the hidden gems in smaller markets like Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, and Grande Prairie.
Can a small firm really negotiate better than our purchasing team? Often, yes. We bring cross-industry benchmarking data and negotiation experience that most internal teams simply don't have time to develop. Last year, we renegotiated a $340,000 annual supply contract for a manufacturing client in Red Deer and reduced costs by 18% while improving delivery timelines.
What You Receive
- Vendor evaluation matrix comparing current and alternative suppliers
- Negotiated contracts with improved terms and pricing
- Sourcing framework for future procurement decisions
- Supplier performance tracking templates
- Annual review option to reassess vendor relationships
Who This Serves
Growing companies whose supply chain complexity has outpaced their purchasing infrastructure. If you're still using the same three vendors you started with because "they've always been fine," there's likely meaningful savings and reliability improvements available.
Evaluate Your Supply ChainQuestions We Hear Often
Every engagement is scoped individually. After the discovery call and diagnostic assessment, you'll receive a detailed proposal with itemized costs. We offer both project-based fixed fees and monthly retainer arrangements. The pricing depends on scope, complexity, and timeline — but every number is transparent and explained in plain language before any work begins.
Most of our clients have between 5 and 120 employees and annual revenues ranging from $500,000 to $25 million. That said, we've worked with solo entrepreneurs preparing for their first hire and with divisions of larger organizations that needed the agility a smaller advisory firm provides. The common thread isn't size — it's ambition for structured growth.
Absolutely. While our office is at 615 16 Avenue NE in Calgary, we serve clients throughout Alberta — Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge, Grande Prairie, and everywhere in between. We travel to client sites when the work requires it and manage remote engagements effectively when it doesn't. We've also completed projects in Saskatchewan and British Columbia for Alberta-based clients with operations in those provinces.
Scope changes happen — that's reality. When they do, we document the change, explain the impact on timeline and budget, and get your written approval before proceeding. You'll never receive an invoice for work you didn't authorize. We've been doing this since 2013, and our approach to scope management is one of the reasons clients come back.
Fair question. Yes, Greyfield is a solo practice — and we're transparent about that. For most engagements, a single experienced advisor with direct accountability is more effective than a team of generalists. For projects requiring specialized expertise beyond our scope, we bring in vetted subcontractors from a network we've built over 12 years. You'll always know who's working on your project and why they're there.
It depends on the service and scope. A focused consulting diagnostic might take two to three weeks. A full project management engagement for a systems implementation could run four to six months. Strategic sourcing reviews typically span six to eight weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeline during the proposal stage — not an optimistic one designed to win the contract.
