Take the Fit Check
Operations and automation for small businesses

If you were out for two weeks, who could keep it running?

Most owners say nobody. That's a real answer, and it isn't a bad one. It's where I start.

I take the parts of your business that live in your head, your inbox and a group text, and build them into a system in the tools you already use, Google or Microsoft. Then it keeps running, whether you're there or not.

Take the Fit Check Four questions. Short answers are fine. I read every one myself.
Does this sound familiar?
  • New leads sit in your inbox until you remember to answer them.
  • The schedule lives in your calendar, a spreadsheet and a group text, and they don't agree.
  • You send the same five emails every week, typed from scratch.
  • You're the only one who knows where anything is.

What I build

Trackers that fill themselves in. Emails that write themselves and wait for you. Folders and documents made the moment a client books. A short email each morning that tells you what needs you today.

It drafts. You send.

Every email the system writes waits in your drafts. Nothing goes to a client without you.

Your filing, not mine.

It names and files things the way you already do, so you never hunt for something it made.

Settings you can change.

Prices, timings and wording live in a sheet you own. No code to touch, no call to me.

Written down.

Every build comes with a plain page that explains how it works. It never depends on me.

About MO

I'm Molly O'Malia, MO for short. I build the back office for small businesses: the trackers, the emails, the calendar plumbing, and the morning summary that tells you what needs you today.

My background is in running operations for a cafe and events business in Indianapolis, where I built the systems behind its event schedule, staff paperwork and payroll. Flow with MO brings that same work to other small businesses.

I start with the tools you already pay for, Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, so there's nothing new to buy or learn. When a business outgrows a spreadsheet, I move it to a proper database and keep every change on GitHub, so nothing is ever lost. My first rule is that you stay in charge. My systems draft and don't send, file things the way you already file them, and come with a plain page that explains how they work.

I'm based in Indianapolis and happy to come to you. When you're local, the Ops Review happens where the work happens, because the workarounds people have stopped noticing are usually the ones worth fixing.

What I work in

Google Workspace
Sheets, Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Forms, Apps Script
Microsoft 365
Excel, Outlook, SharePoint, Power Automate, Office Scripts
Connecting apps
Zapier, Calendly, booking and payment tools, inquiry sites like The Knot
Code and data
GitHub for every change, databases when a spreadsheet runs out of room

What I do

  • Map how the work really happens, then design the system around it
  • Build trackers, dashboards and reports that fill themselves in
  • Automate email, calendar, file and document steps, with you approving every send
  • Move a business off scattered spreadsheets without losing its history
  • Write how-it-works guides and staff pages so your team can run it

Selected work

  • Flow with MO Command Center. My own leads, clients, projects, revenue and hours, joined in one place.
