Priced out of Deloitte or PwC's SMB offering? Outgrown an independent generalist? This is the middle ground.

Compliance and operations, together

Most advisors treat regulatory compliance and cost optimization as separate disciplines. Here, they're one engagement.

Execution, not just recommendations

A bias toward implementation — process maps and audits translate into measurable operational change, not a slide deck.

Accessible, flexible engagement

Hourly, project-based, or retainer pricing built around SMB budgets — senior-level oversight without a full-time hire.

Vipil Paulose
Chettoor
Founder & Principal Consultant

A career built on fleet operations, compliance, and supply chain strategy.

Vipil Paulose Chettoor founded Vipil Logistics Agency to close a gap he saw across the GTA: small and mid-sized businesses rarely have access to the caliber of logistics and compliance expertise that large enterprises take for granted. As Principal Consultant, he works directly with each client — no hand-off to junior staff, no generic frameworks.

Fleet & vendor relationship management — hands-on oversight of carrier and vendor performance.

P&L ownership — accountability for the financial outcomes of operational decisions.

Regulatory compliance & safety-audit execution — CVOR, Hours of Service, and ELD expertise.

Operational cost-structure optimization — turning routing and load analysis into real savings.

What clients ask before booking a consultation.

What size businesses do you work with?

SMBs across the GTA with annual revenue between $1M and $50M and 20–200 operations or distribution employees — businesses in a growth phase that are struggling to scale efficiently.

How are engagements priced?

Three flexible models: hourly billing for short-term or ad hoc needs, project-based fees for clearly scoped assignments, and monthly retainers for clients requiring continuous advisory support or fractional leadership.

Is the first consultation really free?

Yes — a complimentary one-hour session to diagnose your operation's pain points and identify opportunities, with no obligation to continue.

What if I only need a compliance audit, not ongoing support?

That's fine — compliance audits are offered as a standalone flat-fee engagement. Ongoing compliance management and fractional leadership are separate tiers you can add only if and when you need them.

What areas do you serve?

The Greater Toronto Area, with engagements delivered virtually via Zoom or Microsoft Teams and in-person site visits across the GTA when required.
