CXO Advisory
What do you call a consulting service where the CXO just needs someone in their corner? Someone to help bounce ideas around. Someone to drive progress on the really difficult, really important things. Someone to help ensure the leader has the right people in the right seats on the bus to succeed.
At FlexPoint, we act as a trusted thought partner for executives. We help assess the current landscape, prioritize what matters most, and build actionable plans that drive results. Our role isn’t to tell you what to do and walk away. It’s to walk alongside you, offering strategic insight and practical support so you can lead with confidence.
Executive success isn’t just about making the right calls – it’s about making them at the right time, with the right information, and with the right team behind you. We believe:
Leadership is a journey, not a solo act. Even the best leaders need a sounding board.
Clarity beats complexity. We help cut through noise to focus on what moves the needle.
Structure accelerates progress. A clear framework ensures priorities don’t get lost in the whirlwind.
People drive outcomes. Technology and processes matter, but alignment and engagement matter more.
CXO advisory can be less-than-comfortable at times. We’re working through urgent and important things, and the temperature can rise at times. We work side-by-side with our clients, even in the tense moments. You can trust that we’re providing the best perspective and expertise we can, even when that means being the only voice representing a certain idea.
(Don’t worry, we’ll share challenger views in a 1:1 setting. Not looking for drama – just making sure our clients have the full range of perspectives and options available.)
We tailor CXO advisory engagements to the precise needs of each leader, but clients can generally expect:
Leadership Coaching & Thought Partnership
We’ll act as a sounding board for tough decisions, organizational design, and stakeholder alignment.Strategic Prioritization

For those stepping into a leadership role, we’ve built out a six-part framework to set new executives up well:
Customer & Success Criteria
Strategy & Goals
Structure & Processes
Financials & Risk Management
People & Roles
Communication & Alignment
We call this our CXO Quick Start Framework: see it for questions in each area, and a printable one-pager that’s easy to reference later.
We’ve found that getting the lay of the land around these six areas sets a new leader up to make a positive impact within the first 90 days.
Leading at the executive level is high-stakes and high-speed. Whether you’re stepping into a new role, navigating a major transformation, or tackling a critical business challenge, the decisions you make today shape the trajectory of your organization for years to come.
Yet, even the most seasoned leaders benefit from an unbiased advisor – someone who brings clarity, structure, and perspective without an agenda.
