Partner Results

What Our Partners Say.

300%
MRR Increase
Our white-label partners have seen up to a 300% increase in monthly recurring revenue by adding our services to their existing offering.
Having their fractional CFO on our side changed how we make every financial decision. It is like having a full-time executive without the salary.
Referral Partner
The marketing strategy they built gave us a clear roadmap for the first time. We stopped guessing and started growing.
White-Label Partner
The pitch deck they delivered helped our client close a $1.5 million raise. The investors said it was one of the strongest presentations they had seen.
Referral Partner
Our clients used to dread tax season. Now their books are clean year-round and they actually understand their numbers.
White-Label Partner
They helped one of my referrals go from a single location to three in eighteen months. The growth plan they built was the foundation for everything that followed. I look like a genius for making that introduction.
Referral Partner
My client was not even thinking about an exit. They helped him see that preparing now would double what his business is worth in three years.
Referral Partner
The financial projections held up under due diligence from a major lender. That never happens with outsourced work.
White-Label Partner
Every SBA client I have sent to them has been approved. Every single one. That is why I keep referring.
Referral Partner
They treat your clients like their clients. The level of care and follow-through is rare in this industry.
Referral Partner
I stopped piecemealing referrals to different firms. They handle the business plan, the financials, the accounting, and the growth strategy. One partner for everything.
Referral Partner
The biweekly updates and monthly check-ins make this the most transparent partnership I have ever had. I always know where my referrals stand.
Referral Partner

If I could give 100 stars I would! Kaylee and her team were prompt, receptive, and so supportive. They got my plan done in 5 business days and it was EXACTLY what I was looking for! I am even more so excited for my business and future now that I have a full plan in place. Thank you very much!

It’s truly challenging to capture in words the wonderful experience I had working with Kaylee and The Exceptional Plan. Initially, I had some reservations, but Kaylee swiftly alleviated any concerns with her upbeat attitude and professional approach. She handled my project with the highest level of care, ensuring it was nothing short of perfect before considering it complete. Kaylee recognized that her success was intertwined with mine, a principle I wish more business professionals would embrace. Her meticulous attention to detail and unparalleled communication skills set her apart, while her infectious optimism is a refreshing asset for any business owner. I’ve eagerly sought opportunities to share this positive experience and look forward to future collaborations with Kaylee and The Exceptional Plan.

I recognize that many reviews tend to be fairly straightforward—either praising or critiquing without much depth. However, I wanted to offer a more comprehensive review of the exceptional(!) experience I had working with Kaylee and The Exceptional Plan. If explaining my experience helps someone make the decision to partner with The Exceptional Plan that much easier, it will have been worth the effort. Initially, I was hesitant about moving forward with The Exceptional Plan. Entrusting someone else with something so personal and significant has been challenging for me in the past. Finding someone who cares as deeply about my project as I do has been difficult, and I’ve generally made the decision to do things myself as a result. That’s when Kaylee and The Exceptional Plan came in. From the very beginning, Kaylee dispelled my doubts with her professionalism and positive demeanor. She approached my project with the same dedication and care as if it were her own, demonstrating an impressive level of pride in her work. It was immediately clear that Kaylee doesn’t consider a project complete until it meets her high standards. Her meticulous attention to detail is remarkable, reflecting her genuine concern for her clients and their needs. Having worked with numerous professionals and contractors over the years, I’ve often felt like just another number, with quality and care sometimes taking a backseat. Kaylee, however, defies this trend. She fostered a truly collaborative relationship, valuing our partnership and ensuring my satisfaction every step of the way. This approach was a refreshing change from my previous experiences, and it’s left me feeling genuinely valued—so much so that I’m concerned future collaborations might not measure up. Kaylee possesses a rare talent for simplifying complex ideas without omitting crucial details. Her deep business acumen, comparable to that of top CEOs, ensured that my company was presented in the best possible light. Few people have this skill set, and Kaylee excels at leveraging it effectively. Working with Kaylee was a delight, marked by her exceptional communication skills. Whether through daily updates, cheerful messages, texts, calls, or video chats, she ensured I was always informed and engaged. Her ability to adapt her communication style to my needs, always with a positive and optimistic attitude, made the experience truly outstanding. In summary, I am extremely grateful for choosing to work with Kaylee and The Exceptional Plan. I wholeheartedly recommend Kaylee and her team to anyone and eagerly anticipate future collaborations.

I did an indebt search for an authentic, professional Business Plan creator and The Exceptional Plan was the answer. Kaylee was patient and very professional throughout the process. She told us she would always be there for all questions and concerns, after the final approval. We had contracted others for a Business Plan that no one was going to invest in. With The Exceptional Plan, our team is prepared for the next level in our business. Kaylee was also inciteful about the Investor & Business Owner side of what the plan needed. Another reason I chose her because of her being able to relate to both sides. Worth every penny. Very satisfied. Thank you Kaylee!

Loved working with The Exceptional Plan! It was the personal experience I was wanting. I'm starting a business and I didn't want a generic plan from a website. The Exception Plan also has the connections I need to get things going. They kept me in the loop weekly. They were also able to come up with ideas, things I didn't think of. I plan on working with them as my business grows.

You need a business plan? Dont know where to start? Start by booking 'The Exceptional Plan" .... First time using them, but won't be my last. I think im addicted to how simple she made this process for me. Found her on thumbtack. I have ZERO regrets & find myself finding other task I can use her services for. Quick responses & excellent communication. When I reviewed my draft, I received way more than I anticipated. I'd recommend Kaylee & The Exceptional Plan team for all of your business plan wants & needs.
