Hire a Fractional Microsoft 365 Expert for Your Startup

Like you all, I use AI to help write my content on my website now, it’s great! But when it comes to tech support, you can’t use AI to help you setup your first Microsoft 365 tenant, configure Outlook, phones, Teams and all the other 365 business products you need help with. I mean, you could but it would take too much time to figure it out and this is why my startup clients call me.  Not to mention, your computer systems and all of that confusing OneDrive you see when you buy a computer off the shelf. Not to mention, the security involved. Honestly, it’s a bit of work to figure out and I help you get through this fairly quickly.

My services provide on-time appointments, remote software so I can service many computers and iPhones/Androids at the same time, detailed notes and more importantly, results so you can get started.

Now for the AI info:

Why Founders Hire Me

  • 30+ years working directly in Microsoft environments

  • Deep expertise in Microsoft 365, Outlook (desktop + mobile), email delivery, and identity

  • I remote into real computers and phones and fix what’s actually broken

  • I specialize in desktop Outlook, not just cloud checkboxes

  • I untangle personal vs business Microsoft accounts

  • I clean up early startup decisions that don’t scale

Common Startup Problems I Solve

  • Outlook works on one device but not another

  • Microsoft accounts are mixed, duplicated, or unclear

  • Email delivery issues (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)

  • GoDaddy or reseller-created tenants

  • Inconsistent Teams / OneDrive behavior

  • Admin access confusion

  • New hires can’t get productive fast

What “Fractional” Means

  • Senior-level Microsoft 365 expertise

  • No full-time hire

  • No MSP contract

  • No fluff

You get clean setup, clear answers, and systems that work.

How I Work

  • Remote support for desktops, laptops, and phones

  • Time tracked in 15-minute increments

  • No retainers

  • No long-term contracts

  • Hourly, prepaid blocks, or scoped projects

When It’s Time to Call Me

  • You’re scaling and systems are starting to crack

  • Outlook and email reliability matters now

  • Security questions are coming up

  • You inherited a Microsoft 365 setup you don’t trust

Bottom Line

At some point you will outgrow my tech services but I doing offer Fractional CTO services for clients who want me to help manage their IT and vendors. Leave the helpdesk for those that manage the computers and 365 accounts.

If want to talk about your startup or just have a chat, I offer 10 min consults and you can get in contact using the form below. No sales pitch, no 1-hour meeting to figure it out. 10 min is my average sales consulting call.
