Fractional Operations

We run the back office, so you can grow the business.

EnableOps gives growing organisations the operational maturity of a much larger business — administration, reporting and governance — without the headcount. PMO-grade rigour, real data, and an embedded partner who owns the outcome.

Who owns your operations

EnableOps is a fractional operations service. We run the back office — administration, reporting, finance support, project coordination and governance — for organisations that have outgrown informal admin but aren't ready for a full-time operations team.

Hiring a full-time Operations Manager (typically £45k–£60k plus on-costs) is premature for most growing organisations. We give you that capability on a predictable monthly retainer — and own the outcome, rather than simply completing tasks.

  • We own the function — an embedded partner, not extra pairs of hands
  • Reporting you can trust — real dashboards and data, not just admin
  • AI-enabled from day one — efficiency built into the back office

What we do

One partner for the whole back office

Clients buy a set number of days each month. EnableOps owns the running of the back office and reports on it — across five connected capability areas.

Operations & admin

Business administration, process design, CRM and database management — the day-to-day engine room kept running so nothing slips through the cracks.

Reporting & insight

Monthly reports, dashboards and KPI tracking leadership can actually rely on — clean data and clear commentary, not just numbers.

Project & PMO

Project coordination, governance, milestone and risk tracking with genuine PMO-grade discipline.

Finance support

Bookkeeping support, budgeting, grant and compliance administration — finance kept tidy and audit-ready.

People & events

Volunteer and team coordination and event administration — the human logistics handled with care.

Our approach

Assess → Embed → Run

A simple, proven engagement model that takes the back office off your plate without disruption.

01 — Assess

Map the operation

We learn your organisation, map how the back office runs today, and pinpoint where time, risk and reporting gaps are concentrated.

02 — Embed

Design the function

We design the operating model, set up the systems, tools and reporting, and agree a clear day-budget — embedding as part of your team.

03 — Run

Run it month to month

We run the function on a fixed number of days each month that scales with you, reporting on it throughout — and owning the outcome.

Why EnableOps

The structure of a big organisation, at a fraction of the cost

Unlike virtual-assistant firms, we bring PMO-grade rigour, data and ownership — operating as your part-time operations team, not just extra hands.

We were too big for informal admin and too small for an ops manager. EnableOps was exactly the part-time operations team we needed.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

VA firms supply task-level admin. EnableOps owns the operational function — the reporting, the PMO discipline and the governance — and is accountable for the outcome, not just the hours. We act as your part-time operations department.

You buy a set number of days each month, tiered to the size of your operation. We agree the day-budget up front during onboarding, and you can flex it up or down as your needs change.

We start with Assess and Embed — usually a few weeks to map the operation, set up systems and reporting, and hand over with minimal disruption. From there we run it month to month.

Yes. We work to clear contracts and GDPR-compliant processes, carry professional indemnity cover, and treat discretion as a core value. Clients hand us the load and stop worrying about it.

No. We have deep credibility with churches, charities and values-led organisations, and we work equally with professional-services SMEs. If you're roughly 5–100 people and need operations capability, we're built for you.
