Clayton James Capital was founded on a simple observation: the small businesses that drive American communities: contractors, service operators, family-owned distributors, rarely get access to the kind of strategic firepower that larger companies take for granted.
A $50M company has a CFO, CMO, COO, and strategy team. A $5M company has the owner, working 70 hours a week, trying to be all of those things at once. The result is predictable: revenue plateaus, owners burn out, and businesses that should be worth millions at exit get sold for a fraction of their potential value or shut down entirely.
We built CJC to close that gap.
Our Approach
We act as your outsourced executive branch
Finance, marketing, operations, and strategy under one roof, coordinated by a single point of contact. You stop juggling five vendors. We run the business of the business so you can focus on running the work.
Every engagement is built around three outcomes: Get Paid, Get Customers, Get Organized. These are the only three things that actually matter to a growing small business. Everything we do ladders up to one of those three.
Who We Work With
We partner with established small businesses, typically doing $1M–$25M in revenue, where:
The owner has built something real, but is the bottleneck for everything
Revenue is solid but margins are leaking
Marketing happens inconsistently, if at all
Systems and processes are in the owner's head, not on paper
There's a desire to grow — and eventually, to build something worth selling
If that sounds like you, we're built for you.
Our Partnership Model
CJC is a consulting firm, not an accounting firm. For tax preparation, bookkeeping, and financial services, we partner with Acuity a firm we trust to handle the technical, financial, and tax services our clients need.
Our clients get the strategic firepower of an executive bench and the precision of a dedicated tax and bookkeeping team, all coordinated through a single point of contact at CJC. You don't manage two relationships. We do.
