  • Weekly or biweekly leadership meeting facilitation, in person or remote
  • Rock setting, tracking, and quarterly accountability sessions
  • Direct ownership of designated operational and P&L performance areas

Business Performance & Intelligence

What Makes It Stick

These capabilities aren't separate services to shop for. They're what keeps the leadership relationship grounded in real numbers and free of manual follow-up.

Financial Performance

CFO-grade visibility: revenue, OPEX, EBITDA, and cash position at a glance, with YOY trending, waterfall analysis, and cash flow forecasting built for confident board reporting.

Operational Excellence

ERP and process improvement, role and metric definition, and the issue-resolution discipline that stops the same problems resurfacing quarter after quarter.

ERP integration →

Executive Intelligence™

Purpose-built dashboards, sales & pipeline intelligence, interactive P&L drill-down, geographic & market analytics, connected to your QuickBooks, ERP, CRM, or flat files. Built in-house, not outsourced.

Power BI consulting →

AI Enablement

Practical AI readiness for small and midsize businesses: assessing where AI genuinely helps, preparing the data, and putting it to work inside the workflows you already run.

Most clients are live with their first dashboard within 2–4 weeks. We build on your existing systems, no rip and replace, and every engagement includes ongoing refinement, not one-and-done delivery.

The Operate Stage

Engineering that makes a decision permanent

Once leadership decides something should happen every time, our in-house cloud and automation engineer, Tyson Nichols, wires it into secure, reliable, cost-aware infrastructure, sized for small and midsize businesses, not enterprise price tags.

Systems Integration

Your ERP, CRM, accounting, and operational systems rarely talk to each other. We build the event-driven connections that make them work as one. If it has an API, we can put it to work.

Process Automation

The manual work between your systems, reports assembled by hand, data re-keyed between tools, files moved on a schedule, scripted, scheduled, and monitored so it happens every time.

Monitoring & Alerting

Uptime and performance monitoring, actionable alerting, and dashboards that show the health of every system you rely on, so you know about a problem before your customer does.

Cloud Architecture & AWS

Well-architected AWS environments: migrations, greenfield builds, security and cost reviews, and infrastructure-as-code, so your environment is documented, repeatable, and auditable.

Our Process

From kickoff to clarity in four steps

01

Discovery

We map your business questions, data sources, systems, and stakeholder needs. No assumptions. We start with outcomes.

02

Connect

Secure connections to your ERP, accounting, CRM, and operational systems. Cloud or on-premise.

03

Build

Iterative development with rapid prototypes, stakeholder reviews, and refinement cycles, for dashboards and infrastructure alike.

04

Activate

Training, onboarding, and a transition to ongoing advisory support, so value compounds over time.

How We Engage

A partnership model, not project consulting

ClearwaterIQ works fractionally, on an interim basis, or as a long-term partner: a durable resource for owners who intend to stay lean indefinitely, or a bridge to an internal hire for those building toward one. Either way, you work with one dedicated partner who learns your business in depth, not a rotating bench of consultants.

Not sure where to start?

Most engagements start with a single dashboard and grow from there. Start with a 30-minute discovery conversation and we'll tell you honestly what would move the needle first.
