Who are we?
Consultants.
Magellan Advisory Planning is a management consulting group that steps in as your executive leadership — on a short-term basis — to stabilize, guide, and grow your organization.
We specialize in financial strategy, operational improvement, and marketing execution for small businesses and early-stage startups that need experienced leadership now, and the right permanent team for the future.
Who do we serve?
Small Businesses, Founders, and Boards.

Small Business Owners
Established businesses facing leadership gaps, operational bottlenecks, or the need for professional executive management without a full-time hire.
Early-Stage Founders
Startups in their launch phase that need experienced leadership alongside the founder — bridging the gap between vision and execution.
Boards & Investors
Organizations seeking interim executive oversight that protects their investment while a permanent leadership team is identified and onboarded.
What's our approach?
The Magellan Model.
How do we support founders?
We don't replace you.
We build around you.

Founders bring vision, passion, and deep domain expertise.
What they often lack is seasoned executive leadership experience.
Magellan joins the founding team to fill those gaps — providing CFO-level financial discipline, COO-level operations, and CMO-level marketing — while building the permanent team that will carry the company forward.
Why should I hire Magellan Advisory Planning?
To save my ship.

Speed to Value
We are operational within days, not months. No lengthy onboarding — we've done this before.
Aligned Incentives
Our success is measured by the strength of the team we leave behind, not the length of our contract.
Proven Navigation
We bring cross-functional executive experience across finance, operations, and marketing — purpose-built for early-stage complexity.
Built to Scale
Our frameworks are designed to grow with you — from launch through Series A and beyond.
Ready to save your ship?

Whether you're navigating a leadership gap, launching a new venture, or building the team your business deserves — Magellan Advisory Planning is ready to step in, lead, and help you find your way forward.
