Get more done, without more people.
Whether we build the system or run point on what's stalled, you focus where it counts.
Built around the work you're already doing.
You already have the tools. We build the logic that connects them and point it where it matters.

What we do
Two ways to get senior judgment back in the room.
Some teams need the manual work removed. Some need a steady operator to keep the right work moving. Both come from the same place: enterprise-trained judgment, practical systems, and a bias toward getting hours back.
Automated Systems
We move repetitive work into quiet, reliable systems: intake, reporting, research, follow-up, data cleanup, and the handoffs that eat entire days.
Fractional Chief of Staff
Part-time operational leadership for companies that need prioritization, cross-functional follow-through, and a steady hand on work that keeps stalling. Usually 10–20 hours a week per client.
Engagement shape
Automated Systems usually start as a focused build. Fractional CoS operates on a part-time retainer—typically 10–20 hours a week—providing senior operating leadership before you need a full-time hire.
The real cost
The work slows down when no one has time to own it.
A single repetitive task costs you 40 hours a month — a full week of someone's time lost to manual, mechanical work. A stalled initiative costs more quietly: it sits for months, not because the work is hard, but because no one has the bandwidth to own it. We find the real bottleneck, then either systemize it or run point until it moves.
Step 1 — Diagnose
We map where time, decisions, and initiatives are getting stuck — the work worth automating, the gaps worth owning, and the cost of leaving them unresolved.
Step 2 — Build
We design the right operating rhythm: a system that removes repeat work, a CoS cadence that keeps priorities moving, or both. No disruption, no theater.
Step 3 — Run
Either the system runs quietly in the background, or we run point on the initiatives that need steady ownership. You get fewer stalls, cleaner handoffs, and more time back.
Who we work with
Where Fractional CoS support fits best.
1
Founders who do not yet have a true #2, but need one before the org chart can justify it.
2
Post-raise startups with more initiatives than execution muscle.
3
Nonprofit executive directors stretched across fundraising, board work, staff, and programs.
4
Agencies growing past founder-led operations, where every decision still rolls uphill.
5
Teams with good people, stalled priorities, and no one clearly owning the follow-through.
Different pressure points. Same need: senior judgment pointed at the work that has to move.
Why Leverhaus
Merry Jones
Founder & Principal
I spent more than a decade inside Fortune 500 companies, national banks, and leading advisory firms, solving the operational problems that quietly slow good teams down. Leverhaus brings that experience directly to growing companies — pairing senior judgment with practical systems and operating support. You’re not handing your operation to a junior automation shop. You’re working with someone who has lived the work.
INDUSTRIES IN MOTION
Different industries. Different goals. One approach.
Nonprofits & Educational Orgs: Managing heavy donor research, grant tracking, and stretched executive capacity.
Staffing Firms: Overwhelmed by manual candidate screening, submission write-ups, and client follow-through.
Independent Food Businesses: Leaving their highest-margin channel unsystematized with invisible catering paths and unmonitored drop-off points.
Automotive & Repair Groups: Chasing estimates, scheduling bottlenecks, and insurance follow-ups by hand.
Marketing Agencies: Pulling client reports manually while founder-led operations start to strain.
Accounting Practices: Re-keying client data between incompatible systems, month after month.
Your data, handled with care
We treat your systems and data with the same discipline we learned in regulated, enterprise environments. Confidentiality is built into how we work, and we’re glad to sign an NDA before we begin.
What this looks like in practice
A recruiter reclaims a full day a week by automating applicant screening.
A founder establishes a weekly operating cadence that keeps strategic priorities from drifting.
A nonprofit ED gets donor research, board follow-up, and program workflows out of their head and into motion.
A sales team stops researching leads by hand.
An agency cleans up client reporting while an operator runs point on internal follow-through.
What a typical engagement delivers.
You walk away with less manual work, clearer ownership, and hours back on your calendar — built around how you already work, not bolted on top of it.

Leverhaus
Get more done, without more people.
We pair senior judgment with smart systems — building it for you or running it ourselves — so you and your team focus where it counts.
Book a discovery call
Most firms sell tools or advice. We sell hours back.
Your business already has the tools — we build the logic that connects them, and pair it with senior judgment that knows where to point it. Sometimes we build a system your team runs. Sometimes we run it and hand you the finished result.
A single repetitive task costs you 40 hours a month.
That’s a full week of someone’s time lost to copy-pasting, reformatting spreadsheets, and chasing approvals. We take those tasks off your plate entirely.
A simple, three-step process
Step 1 — Diagnose. Step 2 — Build. Step 3 — Run. We map the work, build around how you already operate, then monitor and refine it as your needs change.
