Small business systems & automation

More steps, less profit.
You feel it every month.

Every extra step it takes to run your business is time and money you don’t get back. Onizuka Studio audits where the work piles up, then builds the systems and automations that flip that — diagnosed first, built to run without you in the room.

We diagnose first. We build second. You keep everything when we’re done.

Who we serve

Every industry. Every starting point. Same diagnosis.

Pen and paper or already on Salesforce — it’s not about your industry, it’s about where the process breaks down. We work with trades and field services, service businesses, churches and nonprofits, business buyers and sellers, and the accountants, attorneys, and fractional CFOs who advise them.

What we do

Diagnose. Connect. Build. Hand you the keys.

We work in whatever platform fits — Zoho, HubSpot, Monday, Microsoft 365, or something we build from scratch. No preferred vendor. One preferred outcome: a system that runs without you babysitting it.

Automation Audit

Find what’s broken before you build anything.

A structured look at your tools, workflows, and manual processes. We map the gaps, put real numbers on what each one costs, and hand you a prioritized build list — yours to keep whether you build with us or not.

Systems Integration & Automation

Connect the pieces. Let the chain run itself.

Every manual step your team takes is time you’re paying for twice. We wire your tools together, deploy the right integrations, and build the automations that make the whole chain run from one trigger.

Acquisition Intelligence

Know what the business is actually worth before you close.

The financials tell you what the business earned. We tell you what it could earn — and what it’s currently losing. Delivered in 5–7 business days. Plain English. You own the report.

The Pushover Method™

Every business has a domino chain. Most owners only see the tile that fell.

The Pushover Method finds the tile that started it — then rebuilds the sequence so one human step triggers the whole chain. Play through three real business workflows and see why order matters more than tools.

What clients say

Every project. Every time. No exceptions.

★★★★★

“Without bringing it to their attention, I was informed they were already aware of a problem and wanted permissions to fix it directly. Most companies care only about what you pay them to do. This company cares about so much more.”

“They responded quickly and immediately went to work the same day. Thorough and a joy to work with — the model of what I’d expect from a professional contractor. They will be my go-to resource.”

“They have become my go-to team.” “They are perfectionists. They don’t settle for nothing but a perfect finished product.” “Couldn’t finish the job without them.” “Expert advice, quick to respond, constant communication.”

Where does it hurt?

That’s always my first question. And it’s the right one.

Not “what’s your budget” or “what platform are you on.” Where is the work piling up? Where are you doing manually what should run itself? Where did the last person tell you it couldn’t be done? That’s where we start.
