Meet the Founder
Meet Stephanie VanTassell — Fractional COO and Founder of Ops on Autopilot
15+ years installing enterprise-grade operational systems across SMBs, healthcare, and DTC brands — without the bureaucracy.
Core Competencies
Finance, transformation, and training — installed end-to-end
The three foundations of every engagement, plus the operational and AI capabilities that compound on top of them.
Master's-trained accountant with controller and CFO depth. Chart of accounts, multi-entity consolidation, M&A integration, opening balance sheets, KPI dashboards, and audit-ready close cycles — installed across regulated and unregulated environments.
Director-level enterprise transformation across 85+ sites and 250+ employees. ERP rollouts, shared services design, post-acquisition integration playbooks, governance frameworks, and the change management discipline to make new operating models stick.
Tribal knowledge converted to structured training, job aids, KPI playbooks, and adoption frameworks. Onboarded teams from 8-person finance groups to enterprise-wide rollouts. The curricula behind every transformation I've led.
Embedded executive operations leadership without the full-time hire — strategy, structure, accountability rhythms, and weekly execution discipline.
SOPs embedded into the tools your team actually uses. Live KPI dashboards across sales, ops, and finance — governance baked into daily execution rather than living in a binder.
AI agents, smart routing, and Notion/Zapier automations that retire repetitive work — follow-ups, status checks, reporting, customer support triage. AI as a delivery accelerant, not the product.
Receipts From the Field
Real systems, measured outcomes
A snapshot of what enterprise rigor delivers when applied with operator-level discipline.
$2B organization scaling through high-velocity M&A across 85+ acquired and legacy sites. Inconsistent processes, fragmented financial reporting, and integration backlog stalling growth.
Greenfield financial and operational infrastructure across multiple LLCs and 5 service lines. Required regulated reporting, multi-entity governance, and scalable onboarding from inception.
Heavily regulated environment requiring full financial systems upgrade and process redesign without disrupting close cycles, regulatory reporting, or audit posture.
