Your trusted ally who spiffs up business practices and keeps operations humming.
What we believe in
Fifth Pocket COO believes that all business owners need a clone, a copilot, a partner, a 2nd in command that cares about their business as much as the owner does. Offload the stuff that bogs you down to Fifth Pocket so we can handle details like hiring new team members, researching new office space or insurance, and/or facilitating weekly meetings with team members.

The inspiration for Fifth Pocket is that extra little pocket on the front of your jeans, where you stow important stuff like your house key, chapstick, or credit card. That special pocket that safeguards just what you need. Fifth Pocket is the extra resource that streamlines your business operations so you can concentrate on what you do best.
what We Do

Fifth Pocket is your part-time Chief Operating Officer. We work with you and your team to determine what areas to take off your hands, customizing our support to your specific needs. No company is too small to gain from a fractional COO in your pocket.
