THE REAL PROBLEM
Your people aren't the problem.
Your structure might be.
When everything depends on one person remembering the next step, growth gets expensive. I find the gaps in process, money, ownership, communication, and documentation. Then I build practical systems that hold.
ADVISORY + IMPLEMENTATION
Clarity that becomes
lasting infrastructure.
Every engagement combines strategic insight with practical implementation. Each solution is designed around how your organization operates today and where it needs to go next.
Financial Visibility
Billing, collections, vendor review, and reporting structures that turn scattered numbers into decisions.
→Policies & Compliance
SOPs, handbooks, quality controls, and documentation built around how your organization really operates.
→Launch & Restructure
Hands-on support for new programs, growing teams, and organizations ready to move beyond constant crisis mode.
→SELECTED WORK
Proof, not promises.
Real operational work. Real business outcomes.

MEET LAUREN
I'm the person who sees what's falling through the cracks and builds the system to catch it.
I'm Lauren Gilstrap, founder of LG Legacy Consulting and an executive operations leader with more than a decade of experience across legal services, nonprofit administration, recovery programs, retail, and growing businesses.
My work lives where strategy meets real life: the overdue receivables, unclear roles, missing policies, broken handoffs, and big ideas that need an operating plan. I don't hand over a binder and disappear. I build with your team, teach the why, and leave you with tools you can sustain.
