At Expansion Group, we believe we have a responsibility to leave everything better than we found it. By enabling business growth, we help create economic prosperity - and perhaps leave the world a little better than we found it.
From Fractional Exec to Platform Builder
After years working as a fractional executive, I saw the same problem from both sides of the table: fragmentation. Businesses struggled to find vetted talent quickly, and talented fractional professionals were scattered across disconnected channels with no real marketplace. I wound down my fractional practice because I realized the better solution wasn't to be one more fractional operator - it was to fix the infrastructure itself. That's what I built with Knex.pro, a marketplace connecting fractional professionals directly with the businesses that need them. The fragmentation I predicted in this market is exactly what we're solving now.
Happy Clients
David Meyer - Founding Attorney, Meyer Wilson
“Expansion Group has taken the chaos off of our shoulders. I used to spend too much time putting out fires instead of focusing on our practice and the big picture. After struggling trying to find the right fit for the job we are so glad that we found them. They have helped us take back control of our business and enabled our firm to grow.”

“They stepped in at a time when our organization was experiencing rapid change. As business leaders, we felt paralyzed to make decisions. They mended broken operational systems, empowered staff and enabled decision making from the top down.”
The Benefits of a Fractional Executive
A fractional executive is an executive that works in a limited capacity - either part-time or over a contract term - as opposed to a full-time employee. They can come in handy when:
You’ve outgrown your operating model and need to level up.
You’re a startup that just got funded, and as the founder, you need to balance the work that needs done and your cap table. A Fractional CEO or COO can bring a playbook for what you need to build and allow you to protect your equity for those key hires.
You have a strategic project that requires executive-level oversight, but you don’t have the time to oversee it.
You have a great operations manager, but they may be missing the strategic skills of a COO — the same goes for finance and marketing.
You’re looking to delegate financial, operational or marketing duties you have managed to date, but it doesn’t require a full-time role.
During any sort of transition - vacancy, preparation for sale or retirement.
Through packages designed for the work you need done, we give business owners back time to focus on what matters, unlock scalability, reduce risk, and create a technology- driven environment where people thrive.
