Foundations of Growth
Machine Time Inc. is a precision CNC machining business that specializes in producing high-quality, tight-tolerance custom parts. Since its founding in 2016, Machine Time has developed a reputation for being able to deliver exceptionally challenging parts at specification, the first time. The capability of their team is a function of their relentless pursuit of solutions and mastery of their craft. At its core, Machine Time is built to partner with its customers to help them solve problems so they can continue to grow and innovate.
The Realization
After six years, Machine Time had secured a core customer base, begun to turn a profit, and was an emerging industry leader known for the quality of service they deliver. The founder knew that if he wanted to fulfill his vision of growing his business beyond Nicholasville, Kentucky he needed to bring in operational support to help translate his vision into a tangible roadmap for success.
Machine Time’s founder and his investment partners invited us to Kentucky to assess the company’s operations, lay the foundational systems for growth, and set the organization up for the next phase of the business lifecycle.

As a result of our work together, Machine Time was able to achieve 2x revenue and a
7% increase in EBITDA in just 18 months under a streamlined operational infrastructure that set the organization up for continued growth.
The Success
“For years I had worked to scale my family-owned aerospace machining company but kept getting hung up in the day-to-day operations. I knew I needed to bring in someone that complimented my abilities and would allow me to step out of several roles I was doing. Meg helped me understand my evolving role as Founder to best support the company's growth.
We transitioned my focus from managing day-to-day activities to maintaining the high-level strategy and vision for my business and hired a leadership team. Meg established an org chart, job descriptions, health benefits, employee training and standardized work instructions.
Along with playing a key role in us achieving our AS9100 quality certification, she helped implement several other new digital technologies successfully. Most impressively, Meg took charge of selecting and implementing our first ERP system.
As a result of our work together, we were able to maintain profitability while increasing sales by 75% in just 12 months.
Meg’s commitment to our success and transparent communication were apparent in every milestone we accomplished together, and I highly recommend working with Meg if you are a Founder who is serious about taking your company to the next level!”
