Solo Founder: Consulting Firm
StrategyPeak Consulting
Management consulting solo firm | Austin, Texas | Founded 2022
Overview of the Company
StrategyPeak Consulting is a boutique management consulting firm in Austin serving fast‑growth mid‑market clients. Founded in 2022 as a solo practice, the firm’s growth engine depended on the founder’s ability to sell, scope, and deliver advisory and operating model work.
The Challenge
Michael Chen, founder of StrategyPeak Consulting, was living the consultant’s paradox, advising companies on efficiency while drowning in his own operational chaos. He worked 70+ hours weekly, spent 30% of his time on admin, proposals lagged, and follow-ups slipped. “I was turning down $30K engagements because I couldn’t handle the proposal work,” Michael recalls. “I tried hiring locally but couldn’t justify $75K for an executive assistant when my MRR was $35K.” A previous bad freelancer experience had also made delegation feel risky..
The SoTalented Solution
Within a week, SoTalented matched Michael with Priya, a senior executive assistant with Big 4 experience, working from our Real office spaces in Bangalore.
We onboarded directly into email, calendar, CRM, and Slack; established SLAs for lead response; and set a simple escalation path with local leadership. We handled payroll, compliance, enterprise IT, and security under one invoice; Priya worked from a branded desk inside our facility to reinforce team identity and accountability. In the first week she achieved inbox zero and unified the calendar; by week three she owned client comms, social scheduling, and light bookkeeping; by month two she led meeting prep, travel, and SOP improvements,shifting the founder from reactive ops to proactive growth.
Driven Outcomes
28 hours/week reclaimed for client strategy work
2.3x increase in sales meetings (from 6 to 14 monthly)
Response time dropped 85% (24 hours to 3 hours)
Revenue grew 35% from $35K to $47K MRR
Took first vacation in 2 years
“Priya doesn’t just handle tasks, she thinks ahead. Last week she flagged a contract renewal I’d forgotten about, saving a $15K/month client. That’s worth 10x what I pay.” , Michael Chen, Founder
