ABOUT OPERATION CLEAR RUN
We are operators who help small teams run with more clarity and ease.
We are a veteran-owned team of operators, not just advisors. Together, we bring more than 40 years of experience building the operational backbone of growing companies: processes, systems, compliance, and the people structure that holds them together.
​
We started this business because small businesses face the same challenges as larger ones, and most do not have someone whose job is to make the work run better.
​
Our approach is practical, documented, and built for your team to use long after we leave.
Our approach
Clear systems. Clear ownership. More room to lead.
James Smith
Operations / Execution
James is a US Navy veteran with 25 years of experience finding what’s broken in an operation and fixing it. He delivers a business that runs smoothly day to day: clear procedures, trained people, controlled costs, and customers who come back. He works alongside your team until it runs the way it should, then leaves it set up to keep running without him.
​
What you get: smooth daily operations, accountable teams, tighter cost control, happier customers.
Carrie Smith
Operations / Systems
Carrie has spent 18 years turning chaotic, fast-growing operations into structured ones. She brings workflows your team can actually follow, a software stack and vendor list trimmed to what you need, and manual busywork replaced with automation. The result is lower overhead, fewer dropped balls, and a business that no longer depends on one person holding it all together.
Â
What you get: clear workflows, a leaner tool stack, less manual work, lower costs.
Why agencies work with us
We have done this inside real companies, not just advised on it. We write SOPs your team will actually use, build the system, and hand it over with a clear end point. Small teams are the only teams we work with.
