What does a fractional CTO cost?

Engagements are scoped to the outcome rather than billed as an open-ended retainer, so the answer depends on what needs to be built and how fast. Start a conversation, describe what is slowing you down, and you will get a straight answer with options.

Do you only advise, or do you build too?

Both. Biz Boost sets the roadmap and also builds websites, portals, automations, custom tools, and AI agents, or manages your existing developers against the plan.

Is this a long-term commitment?

No. Every engagement is designed to end with you independent: documented systems, a trained team, and a partner who stays reachable. Many clients keep a lighter ongoing relationship after handoff, by choice.

We already have an IT company. Do we still need this?

Usually yes, and the two work well together. Your IT provider manages devices, networks, and security. A fractional CTO decides what software your business should run on, connects it, and makes sure it produces revenue.

Fractional CTO · Jacksonville, FL

Fractional CTO services in Jacksonville, without the full-time hire.

Senior technology leadership for Northeast Florida small businesses and startups: a clear roadmap, the right tools, software that actually gets built, and a team trained to run it. One accountable partner, scoped to the outcome.

Who this is for

Founders building a product or platform who need someone to own the technical decisions.
Established Jacksonville businesses running on disconnected tools, spreadsheets, and manual work.
Owners who have been burned by a developer who built exactly what was asked and nothing that was needed.
Teams that need a technology lead for a season, not a salary line forever.

What a fractional CTO from Biz Boost actually does

Technology roadmap tied to revenue: what to build, buy, connect, or retire, and in what order.
Tool and vendor decisions: CRM, website platform, automation, AI, and the integrations between them.
Architecture and build leadership: websites, portals, custom internal tools, databases, and AI agents, built by us or managed through your developers.
Documentation as a deliverable: every system, decision, and credential recorded in your private client hub.
Team training and handoff: your people run the stack when the engagement ends.

How this differs from an IT consultant or a dev shop

An IT consultant keeps the lights on. A dev shop builds the ticket you hand them. A fractional CTO owns the outcome: the diagnosis, the plan, the build, and the adoption. Biz Boost sits in that seat, and because we also build, the strategy never gets lost in a handoff.

Michelle Williams brings 17+ years across the customer, business, and technology sides of software, 18 internal platforms and systems built, and 7 brands taken from idea to launch.

What the first 30 days look like

Week 1, Business Diagnosis: we map the customer journey, revenue model, tools, bottlenecks, and repetitive work.
Week 2, systems audit and opportunity assessment: where time and money leak, and which fixes pay back first.
Weeks 3 to 4, roadmap and first build: a prioritized plan with owners and dates, and the first automation or fix shipped so the value is visible early.

Need a technology lead without the payroll?

No hard sell. Tell us what is slowing you down and a human replies within one business day, usually the same day.
