Partnering With LMP
Engagements with Lassiter Management Partners are tailored to the circumstances and priorities of each firm. Some clients engage us as a Fractional CFO, others as a Fractional COO, and some in an integrated role that spans both.
Our level of involvement is flexible and evolves over time. We work directly with firm leaders and those responsible for execution across the firm, remaining engaged where leadership and accountability are needed most. Our role is to provide experienced executive oversight that strengthens decision making, execution, and accountability.
This approach allows firms to access senior level expertise without committing to a full-time executive, while ensuring meaningful progress continues as the firm grows and evolves.
