Technology Consulting for Nonprofits & Small Businesses
Technology decisions don't wait — and gut instinct isn't a strategy.
Every year, leaders are asked to approve budgets, select vendors, and greenlight technology initiatives — without a dedicated technology voice in the room. The result is reactive spending, misaligned tools, and a growing gap between where your organization is and where it needs to be. That gap has a cost. We help you close it.
Book a Discovery CallStrategic Technology Leadership
What if every tech decision came with an expert in your corner?
S-FX functions as your organization's senior technology leader — embedded in your planning process, present at the table when it matters, and accountable for outcomes long after the meeting ends.
We don't hand you a report and disappear. We build your technology strategy alongside you, align it to your budget and goals, and stay involved to make sure it actually gets executed.
Think of it less as a consulting engagement and more as gaining a technology department that's already been through everything you're facing.
Technology & Strategic Planning
Strategy is only valuable if someone's accountable for it.
We don't sell strategies — we own them alongside you. Every engagement is built around outcomes: what changes, what gets decided, and what your organization looks like on the other side.
Clarity on Where You Stand
Before you can plan forward, you need an honest picture of where you are. We assess your current technology environment — what's working, what's a liability, and what's quietly costing you — and give your leadership a clear, jargon-free view of the landscape.A Seat at the Leadership Table
Technology strategy doesn't happen in isolation. We participate in planning sessions, board meetings, and budget conversations as your technology voice — translating complexity into decisions your leadership team can make with confidence.A Roadmap Your Leadership Can Follow
A technology roadmap shouldn't live in a drawer. We build 1–3 year plans that are actionable, budget-conscious, and designed to be understood by board members and department heads alike — not just your IT team.Alignment Across Your Organization
The best strategy falls apart when the people responsible for executing it aren't aligned. We work across your departments to ensure that your technology direction is understood, adopted, and supported at every level — not just the top.Confident Vendor & Budget Decisions
When it's time to choose a platform, renew a contract, or approve a capital technology investment, you need an advocate — not another sales pitch. We evaluate options independently, negotiate on your behalf, and make sure every dollar spent is aligned to your actual needs.An Ongoing Partnership, Not a One-Time Engagement
Your organization will keep evolving — and so will the technology landscape around it. Our strategic engagements are built for the long term, with regular check-ins, updated roadmaps, and a partner who already knows your history and your goals.
Client Feedback
They Stopped Guessing. So Should You.
Strategy looks different for every organization. Here's what it's meant for ours.
Great team of professionals. Always quick to help whenever I have an issue, and always provides a quick turnaround. Their work has been beyond my expectations. I look forward to the continued success that I’ve had by using the services Shane and his team provide. I highly recommend Shane and his small business solution. It has been a HUGE asset to my company!
I am thrilled to write this review because I am not even a client of Shane’s which makes this even more special. He was literally doing me a favor because a mutual friend asked him. He was patient and so extremely helpful. Shane- I am thinking you need to have workshops if you don’t already. You are a great teacher and found myself wanting to ask you so many more questions. Thanks again for your help. I am truly appreciative.
Shane is amazing consultant when it comes to website design, development and marketing. He always tried to provide the best value for the money during any project that we have done in the past. Our team is very happy with services our businesses share with each other.
Working with S-FX has been a great experience! In just a few months they have provided digital insight to our team that has improved our web presence from both a technical and user perspective. Additionally, they have brought new ideas to the table that gives our digital campaigns a competitive edge. The team is amazing to work with. S-FX goes above and beyond to ensure that clients are not only satisfied, but thrilled with the finished product! 5 stars from a very happy client. Keep on doing what you are doing!
I have been a client since the company was founded close to 15 years ago. Shane is very knowledgeable and on top of his business. If I give him an idea a very short time later he has a solution. And I’m not easy. We have now completed our new membership portal system and we are very happy. He, and his people are very knowledgeable and in my opinion pretty quick with solutions. They are reliable and very competent. I am very happy to have been with Shane and his company from the beginning, possibly before it even had a name.
During this pandemic life at a house of worship has been challenging to say the least. Our synagogue hired Shane and his company to do all of our pre-recording production and there aren’t enough words to express our thanks for the time, effort, patience and outstanding quality work we were provided with. We will most definitely work with him again and would strongly recommend S-FX.com Small Business Solutions! Thanks Shane!
Working with Shane and S-FX Small Business Solutions was a pleasure. He is a professional and a very pleasant person to work with. The process went smoothly and the end product was outstanding.
S-FX not only made the site exactly as we envisioned, but the turn around was fast! If we ever have questions about something, we get a fast response and never are left wondering. I’ve referred several to them and will continue to do so!
S-FX Small Business Solutions is by far the best company I’ve ever dealt with. They go above and beyond to help their clients in anyway possible. I wish I found them 10 years ago when I started my business. S-FX Small Business Solutions rebuit our website, helped switch our email from Gmail to Outlook and help with our business Facebook business page. Shane and his team are by far the best of the best! Just from the website they designed for us which looks unbelievable, our clients can now easily request service 24/7 right from our website. Business has almost doubled because of the hard work S-FX has done for us! We can’t thank you all enough!
We loved working with S-FX. The staff helped to design 3 websites with different target markets and functionalities. The customer service and expertise far exceeded our expectations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Honest answers to your strategy questions.
We believe in transparency over sales. We’re here to cut through the jargon and give you the clarity you need to actually own your digital future.
If you're evaluating whether this is the right move for your organization, these are the questions worth asking.
If you’re making any technology decisions at all — buying software, renewing contracts, managing a website, or supporting a team that uses computers — you have a technology strategy. The question is whether it’s intentional or accidental. Most small organizations are running on the accidental version, and it costs more than they realize.
Traditional IT consultants solve problems after they happen. Strategic technology leadership means being in the room before decisions are made — shaping the direction, not just cleaning up afterward. S-FX operates at the planning level, not just the technical one.
As involved as your organization needs. Some clients engage us for quarterly strategic reviews and board-level reporting. Others want us embedded week-to-week. We build the engagement around your goals and your leadership rhythm — not a one-size-fits-all retainer.
No — and in fact, having an independent advisor makes those vendor relationships stronger. We don’t sell technology products or earn commissions from referrals. We evaluate every option on its merits, which means your vendors know they have to earn your business every time.
Most organizations don’t have a clear way to measure this — which is itself the answer. We start every engagement with a technology assessment that benchmarks where you are against where you should be. It’s not a report card — it’s a starting point for a real conversation.
We start with a thorough discovery — your current environment, your goals, your budget, and your pain points. From there we deliver an initial technology assessment, a prioritized set of near-term recommendations, and the foundation of a roadmap. Most clients leave the 90-day mark with more clarity than they’ve had in years.
