At Clayton Business Strategist, we believe every small business deserves the power of executive-level strategy — without the $250K+ salary of a full-time Chief Strategy Officer. We partner with companies of 5–25 employees to deliver clear, actionable strategies that unlock growth, improve efficiency, and secure long-term competitive advantage.

A CSO (Chief Strategy Officer) leads and guides a company’s strategic initiatives by:

• Analyzing market conditions and industry shifts

• Developing long-term plans to drive sustainable growth

• Identifying new opportunities and risks

• Collaborating with leadership to align strategy and execution

• Establishing performance metrics for accountability

• Ensuring the company maintains a strong competitive edge

That’s exactly what we provide — as your fractional CSO, we embed proven frameworks, stress-tested plans, and leadership alignment into your business, giving you clarity and confidence to scale.
