Your Back Office Is No Longer Admin. It’s Survival.

JRMB’s Strategic Back Office cuts 25–60% of annual back-office costs for
most 10–35 employee firms.
95% of DIY automation never sees ROI. Doing nothing isn’t safer — it’s collapse.

Cross the Divide to Survive. Build the System to Thrive.

The Problem

Is it crazy to think your back office costs you more than it protects you?

95% of pilots never produce positive ROI.
10–20% of Operational Expenditure wasted on unused SaaS.
Compliance fines: average $310–$580 per employee/year.
Founders lose 20+ hours/month to admin firefighting = $120K/year in lost growth.

Based on MIT Project NANDA (2025) and industry benchmarks.

The Safe Bridge

Automation breaks without people. Oversight stalls without automation. SBO unites both.

Automation

Agentic AI that cuts admin waste
Built around your workflow

Expert Oversight

Payroll/HR/compliance by pros
Handled by people, not portals

Fractional Leadership

CFO/COO rhythm without full-time hire
Investor-ready clarity

MIT research: Companies that partner externally double their success rate.

Who We Serve

Founders (5–50 employees): Reclaim time; replace scattered staff + SaaS with one stable system.
Ops Leaders/COOs: Stop firefighting; consolidate 4–6 brittle tools into one coherent OS.
Advisors/CPAs: You remain the strategist; we handle execution.
