Blue Spruce Consulting Co.

Helping small businesses work smarter — not harder. 🌲

Tired of juggling it all?

We help local business owners get organized, grow, and breathe again.

Most small businesses already have the tools they need — they just need better systems, structure, and strategy to make it all work together.

Hi, I’m Cody Gajnos

After years leading program management, operations, and HR optimization, I started Blue Spruce Consulting Co. to help small businesses run efficiently, strategically, and stress-free — without the full-time cost of a big consulting firm.

The Blue Spruce Difference

You don’t need a big consulting firm — you just need a practical partner who helps you:

  • Save hours each week through better systems

  • Eliminate manual busywork

  • Build structure that scales

  • Make decisions based on clear data, not guesswork

  • Create a business that runs smoothly — even when you’re not there

Why “Blue Spruce”?

Like the tree, I help businesses grow steadily, stay resilient, and thrive in their environment.
