Business systems for growing small teams
Find the friction. Make the fix.
Huston Tech is hands-on systems help for owner-led teams. I find what's slowing your week down, fix it in the tools you already pay for, and hand it over so it's off your plate.

How it works: Find it, Fix it, Flick it
Find it
I trace where the work gets stuck and rank what's worth fixing.
Fix it
I build the change and test it before it touches your live system.
Flick it
Switched on, handed over, off your plate.
Sound familiar?
Your business grew. Your systems didn't get the memo.
A new client inquiry came in Friday. Nobody saw it until Tuesday.
New business slips through the cracks between your website, inbox and calendar.
Payroll means a weekend with three spreadsheets and a calculator.
Staff pay depends on rules nobody wants to calculate by hand twice a month.
The payment failed. Nobody knows who's supposed to chase it.
Exceptions sit in a report until they become a problem.
We pay for a CRM. We use it as a very expensive address book.
The setup was never finished, or it was finished for a business you no longer are.
Every number I need lives in a different app.
You make big decisions on gut feel because pulling the real numbers takes too long.
Everything works… as long as I'm the one doing it.
You hired a team, but the processes still live in your head.
If you nodded at two or more of these, we should talk.

I'm a business systems consultant. In plain English, I make your software, data and day-to-day processes work together so your team spends less time chasing and more time doing the work you're actually in business for.
Follow-up that doesn't fall through the cracks
Every inquiry gets an owner, a fast and useful reply, and a clear path to a first appointment.
Numbers you can actually see
Owner dashboards and reports for revenue, retention, staff performance and pay, pulled together from the tools you already use.
Payments and staff pay without the spreadsheet weekend
Failed payments get flagged and owned. Pay calculations follow your rules, every time.
Software that finally pulls its weight
CRM setup and cleanup, automations, integrations, and custom tools when off-the-shelf doesn't fit.
Real projects. Real owners. Their words, not mine.
Grant was phenomenal. … He delivered everything exactly as we discussed, and now all the logistic guesswork is gone. It was worth the investment 5x over.
Personal training
This app has completely streamlined our payroll process. What used to take hours now takes minutes, and the performance insights have been a game changer for motivating our team. Highly recommend.
Therapy practice
I got in touch with Grant and the first thing that got my buy-in was his ability to listen. … his solutions have alleviated my business stress AND have allowed me to 2x my employee base.
Group therapy practice
Irvine Family Counseling
A staff app, payroll submissions, an inquiry pipeline and performance dashboards for a 10-practitioner practice that had outgrown doing everything by hand.

From client wrap-up surveys, 2024–2025. Three projects, three perfect scores. A small sample, I know. I'm working on making it bigger.

What you get at each step
Every project runs the same three steps, and nothing starts until you've seen the scope and the price. It all begins with a free 20-minute call: tell me what's bugging you and what you use today, and I'll tell you honestly whether I can help.
Find it
the Workflow Review
I dig into one process: what's happening, why, and what your current tools can already do about it. Then I rank what's worth fixing.
You get
- Written findings
- A prioritized plan
- A scoped quote for the fix, if one is worth building
It's a fixed fee agreed up front, and the report is yours to keep.
Fix it
a clearly scoped project
I build the change, usually in the tools you already pay for, and test it with safe sample data against acceptance tests we agreed on before I started.
You get
- A written scope and acceptance tests up front
- The build, tested
- The Review fee credited toward the project
Flick it
the handoff
Switched on, handed over, off your plate. I train the people who'll use it, document how it works, and make sure someone on your side owns it.
You get
- Team training
- Documentation
- A 14-day correction window
- Full ownership of your accounts, data and logins
All three client wrap-up surveys so far rated handoff and training 5/5.
No rip-and-replace. No 40-slide strategy deck. Just one useful improvement at a time. Want me to keep an eye on things after handoff? Ongoing support is available.
Why owners work with me
I start with what you have.
New software isn't always the answer. Often the fix is a setting, a process or a connection between tools you already pay for.
You work with me.
Not an account manager, not a rotating junior team. The person on your call is the person doing the work.
You always know what you're paying for.
Fixed fees, agreed in writing before work starts. No hourly meter running in the background.

Hi, I'm Grant.
I've been building business systems for small teams since 2024. The first was a group therapy practice that had outgrown doing everything by hand. Before starting Huston Tech, I led delivery for 21 client accounts at a Zoho consulting partner, in industries from healthcare to wholesale to local government. I love the moment a messy process finally clicks.
