You started this because something lit you up.

We’re here to make sure the chaos doesn’t put it out.

We help values-driven business owners, who are holding everything together with too many hats and not enough hours, show up for the work that lights them up.

Every summit needs solid ground. We build yours.

Let’s talk

Alexandra Hadikin, founder of Summit & Stone Co.

Who we are

Summit & Stone Co. is a fractional partner for values-driven small businesses and nonprofits — the people building something that gives back more than it takes. We are based in the Kootenays, British Columbia, and work remotely with businesses across Canada and beyond.

We believe the people doing the most heart-centred work shouldn’t have to hold it all together alone.

When there are no systems, you are the system. Everything lives in your head, nothing runs without you, and the work you actually love keeps getting pushed to later.

You’re not doing anything wrong. You’re just carrying too much. And you’ve been doing it alone for too long.

At Summit & Stone Co., we love the behind-the-scenes work that most people avoid. We come in, learn how your business actually runs, and build the solid ground beneath it that lets you lead the way you always intended to.

As one of our clients put it — we bring a rare balance of organization, compassion, and follow-through that truly makes a difference.

How it works

  1. 01

    A real conversation

    Free, 30 minutes. We get to know each other and figure out if we’re the right fit.

  2. 02

    We get to work

    Every engagement starts with a three month commitment. From day one we’re working on your highest priorities — and running a full audit alongside that work, so we understand not just what’s urgent but what’s underlying it.

  3. 03

    A plan that’s actually yours

    At the end of month two you receive a written findings report and a workplan built around what your business actually needs. From there we build a continued partnership — no cookie-cutter packages, just the right work in the right order.

What we work on

  • You’re the only one who knows how anything works — and it’s exhausting.
  • Bringing on a new team member feels like starting from scratch every time.
  • Your client experience is inconsistent because there’s no real process behind it.

We build the systems, processes, and documentation that get everything out of your head and into something your whole team can use. File management, SOPs, employee and client onboarding, CRM setup, policies and procedures — the behind-the-scenes infrastructure your business has needed since day one.

If any of that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

We are your operations partner — the behind-the-scenes support that keeps your business running smoothly while you focus on what you do best. Here’s what that might look like for you:

Hiring & Onboarding Systems

A structured, repeatable process that ensures every new team member is set up for success from day one.

Client Experience & CRM Setup

An organized pipeline and client onboarding workflow that delivers a consistent, professional experience every time.

Internal Process Documentation

SOPs and operational procedures that capture how your business runs and make that knowledge accessible to your whole team.

File Management & Organization

A clear, logical filing system that ensures the right information is always findable by the right people.

HR Policies & Procedures

A documented framework that sets clear expectations for your team and protects your business.

Performance Management

A structured review process that makes performance conversations consistent, meaningful, and productive.

Offboarding Procedures

A thorough process that protects your business and ensures a smooth transition whenever a team member moves on.

What they say

Running a growing boutique consulting agency meant I was getting busier and busier. But every time I considered hiring admin or operations support, I always feared: would this person become another person I had to manage, adding to my workload instead of alleviating my capacity?

Until I met Alexandra.

Her attention to detail, her ability to see problems three steps ahead, and her skill in managing operations with compassionate communication and practical solutions have really been a game changer for me and my team.

Not only did she support our team, but she also played a critical role in several key projects, assisting with system transformation, fundraising administration, and volunteer committee management.

What I really appreciate about working with Alexandra is her system-oriented mindset, combined with her ability to remain level-headed and strategic, even when dealing with complex and evolving problems. I highly recommend any organization or company work with Alexandra.

— Betty Xie, Principal, Forward Avenue
Your skill at managing people, space and time is outstanding. When we made changes, you simply made it happen — no fuss, no complaining, not a hint that we were an inconvenience.
— Rick MacLennan, President, MacInk Consulting & Coaching
Meticulously detailed and able to juggle multiple tasks and keep a very complicated schedule on track. Not only that, she is fun to work with.
— Gretchen Gagel, CEO, International Institute for Women in Construction

Working with Alexandra has been such a positive, grounding experience. She brings a rare balance of organization, compassion, and follow-through that truly makes a difference. She has a natural way of making people feel heard; no idea is ever too small, and she creates space for thoughtful, collaborative conversations that keep things moving forward.

Alexandra is incredibly detail-oriented and often seems one step ahead, always looking for ways to improve and better support the people around her. Even when things get challenging, she shows up with resilience and a calm, solutions-focused mindset. She’s someone you can rely on to follow through and deliver, every time.

What stands out most is how deeply people-centred she is in everything she does. Her passion is evident in how she builds relationships, supports others, and strengthens our network as a whole. It’s truly a pleasure to work alongside her.

— Julie Rose, Executive Director, Cranbrook Food Bank
