Background LLC offers three core services, each built on firsthand experience — not theory.
Business Consulting
Most companies don’t stall because of a lack of effort. They stall because of a lack of clarity — unclear goals, misaligned teams, and no real system for accountability.
Whether you’re struggling to gain traction or you’re growing fast and need to get organized, we help you build the strategic framework to move with intention.
We work with companies at every stage:
- Early-stage or struggling — Define your goals, align your team, and install the accountability structures that turn strategy into execution.
- Growing and profitable — Scaling brings new challenges: retaining great people, building a benefits package that competes, and ensuring that you as an owner are maximizing the value of your success.
- Considering an exit — We’ve been through an acquisition from the inside. We’ll help you understand what buyers are looking for, get your house in order before due diligence, and navigate the process with confidence.
Security and Compliance Consulting
Data security used to be a “nice to have.” Now it’s a dealbreaker.
Your clients are asking about it. Your contracts may require it. And as you grow into enterprise or government markets, the scrutiny only increases.
We’ve led SOC-2 compliance efforts from scratch — and we know that the process, done right, isn’t just a checkbox. It’s a competitive advantage that shortens sales cycles and builds lasting client trust.
We can help you:
- Assess your current security posture
- Build the policies and processes required for compliance
- Guide you through SOC-2 or other audit frameworks
- Prepare your team to answer the hard questions prospects and clients will ask
Fractional CTO
You’ve got a great product idea — or a development team you’re not sure how to manage. But without a technical background, it’s hard to know if you’re making the right calls.
Are your developers giving you accurate timelines? Are you building on the right tech stack for where you want to go? Are your contractors actually delivering?
As a fractional CTO, Joe brings senior technical leadership to your organization without the cost of a full-time executive. He’s built and scaled software products, managed development teams, and navigated the architectural decisions that determine whether a company can grow — or hits a ceiling.
This service is built for:
- Non-technical founders managing technical teams or contractors
- Companies evaluating a technology rebuild or new platform
- Organizations that need experienced oversight of a critical software project
