Building Better Days for Small Business Owners

We exist to turn everyday operations into pathways of peace, purpose, and prosperity

Vision + Mission

Our Vision:

We envision a future where local businesses thrive through world-class processes turning livelihood into life-giving freedom for families and communities.

Our Mission

Our goal is to simplify and strengthen small business operations through thoughtful systems and responsible AI that reduce stress and make room for sustainable growth.

Core Values

  • We measure success by the extra evenings, weekends, and vacations our clients reclaim, not by billable hours. Every recommendation must translate into time given back to owners and their families.

  • Promises are kept, scope is honored, and tough news is delivered early. We would rather refund a fee than compromise on honesty or quality.

  • Our work adds value within a year or we keep iterating until it does. We build lean processes that avoid needless complexity and respect every dollar entrusted to us.

  • We implement AI and automation that enhances human capability rather than replacing human judgment. Technology should serve people, not the other way around, with transparency, ethical practices, and respect for privacy built into every solution.

  • We put relationships before revenue. We celebrate our clients’ wins, support them in a seasons, and give back locally.

Meet the Founder

Hi, I’m Conner Contreras, a husband, soon-to-be dad, backyard gardener, and the guy people call when their systems are a mess and their days are too full.

I started ShirePath Solutions with a simple goal: to help small business owners breathe again. While supporting a growing youth sports league serving 2000 families a year, I introduced automation tools and process improvements that transformed tedious weekly workflows. Tasks that once took up to 15 hours each week were reduced to just 20 to 30 minutes, without sacrificing quality or communication. What began as behind-the-scenes support quickly expanded into managing team formations, streamlining communications, and building systems that made the entire operation more sustainable. Through it all, I stayed focused on the people behind the processes and the value of their time.

That’s the heartbeat of ShirePath: to bring excellence and order into your day-to-day operations while giving you back your evenings, weekends, and peace of mind. I believe businesses should serve families, not swallow them.

I live in Columbia, TN, where my wife and I are building a slow, meaningful life. We’re raising chickens, working in the garden, and helping other families carve out margin and purpose in the everyday. If you’re a business owner who feels buried under the weight of doing it all, I’d be honored to walk the road with you.

Let’s build something better, together.

Let’s simplify your day.

Whether you’re ready to get started or just exploring options, we’d love to hear your story. Tell us a bit about your business and we’ll be in touch soon.

— Conner, Founder of ShirePath Solutions
