Clearpath untethers founders and leadership teams from day-to-day operational complexity — across finance, HR, operations, and strategy — so you can focus on what you do best: growing your business.
"If you want to know where efficiency of operations meets joy of collaboration, look no further than David Feller."
We don't consult from a distance. David embeds as a fractional founder — investing his best thinking, rolling up his sleeves, and staying accountable to your outcomes.
CFO-level guidance without the full-time hire. Cash flow modeling, bookkeeping, budgeting, financial modeling, investor reporting, cap-table management, and tax compliance.
Process design, systems selection, vendor management, and business process optimization — removing the friction that slows teams down and replacing it with infrastructure that scales.
Go-to-market planning, competitive positioning, annual planning, and board-ready materials. Strategic clarity that translates directly into decisions and action.
Recruiting, onboarding, employment agreements, payroll and benefits, performance frameworks, and compliance — built for lean, fast-moving teams.
Straight feedback, clear recommendations, and honest tradeoffs. We move fast when speed is needed — and slow things down when the decision deserves it.
We think through optionality carefully and advise clients to make the best decision in a given moment — not just the fastest one.
We value relationships above all. There is nothing that will arise that we aren't prepared to roll up our sleeves and resolve — always driving best-case results.
A 30-minute conversation to understand where you are, where you want to go, and what's in the way. No pitch. No pressure. Just a straight conversation.
A scoped engagement — not a bloated retainer. You'll know exactly what we'll do, by when, and what it costs. No surprises.
Hands-on, embedded advisory alongside your team. We build your capability — not a dependency on us.
