Operations Consulting for Service-Based Businesses
Your business should not need you in every decision.
We build the systems, workflows, and leadership structure that move your business from founder-dependent to confidently run by the right people.
Growth feels heavy when the structure has not caught up.
Revenue may be growing, but the work still routes through you. That is not a motivation problem. It is an operations problem.
Which stage looks like your business?
Different stage. Different struggles. The right operational support at the right time.

Adonai is my go to solution for both my 'BIG PICTURE" and "day-to-day" efforts. Kristi and her team are a major part of the foundation of my business and I love that I can count on them.
Garry Schleifer

Kristi and her team have helped me streamline and systematize my business and bring it to an entirely new level of professionalism. They are very even keel and handles pressure with ease and grace. I have so many new systems in place now that have helped me to serve my clients at a higher level and bring them more value. They take care of all the details of running a business, so I can focus on my genius, which is speaking and coaching my clients. I feel so supported and taken care of and very grateful that they are on my team. They are a delight to work with and I feel that they always have my back!
Debbie Hoffman
America’s foremost authority on follow-up and founder of the breakthrough training company, “Power-Up! Your Follow-Up.”
A consummate professional, Kristi is hands down one of the most focused, strategic and downright lovely ladies I have ever had the privilege of working with. She has an innate ability to use her “process driven” mindset to ask the right questions to help you gain clarity with regards to your business. When you come to her with an idea – she is able to “map it out in her mind” and help you see (and plan around) potential pitfalls long before you encounter them.
That extra step of helping me avoid potential weaknesses in my business has helped me grow at a rate I never expected. Thank you Kristi for your part in making Pibworth what it is today.
