Every business owner knows this key fact: success comes from solving problems that others avoid, not from luck. Stephanie Warlick has built
Meet Stephanie Warlick — The Real-Life Problem Solver Behind Smooth Business Operations
Here’s a story about a woman who quietly saves small businesses — without making noise, without glamor, just by rolling up her sleeves and solving problems nobody else wants to touch. That woman is Stephanie Warlick.
Once upon a time, Stephanie stepped in to help her fiancé’s struggling small business. She handled accounting and operations — menial, behind-the-scenes work. But in doing so, she discovered her true gift: fixing what’s broken, streamlining chaos into order. Over the years, she built up deep expertise in HR, finance, operations, digital accessibility, and more through varied roles, including government contracting and heading multiple departments in a digital-accessibility firm.
Feeling unfulfilled in corporate life, Stephanie made a bold move. She founded 5FT View Consulting — born out of a desire to help small businesses who can't afford full-time specialists, but desperately need someone who simply gets it.
As a fractional COO, CHRO, integrator, or coach, Stephanie Warlick helps small businesses plug HR gaps, streamline operations, manage compliance, and set up payrolls — all those critical but often-neglected tasks. Her “Stand in the Gap Method” isn’t about lofty strategies — it’s about thinking like an owner, rolling up your sleeves, and getting the job done.
If you’re a small business owner feeling overwhelmed — know that relief doesn’t always come through a big hire. Sometimes it comes through someone like Stephanie — practical, experienced, and ready to build your foundation so you can focus on what truly matters.
