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 mission is to simplify and strengthen small business operations through thoughtful systems 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 solution 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.

  • We respect our clients’ time and money. That means lean processes, no bloated subscriptions, and a clear return on effort.

  • Whether writing ten lines of code or mapping a complex workflow, we pursue excellence and refine relentlessly. “Good enough” is only a waypoint on the way to “best‑in‑class.”

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

  • Success is more than size. We design systems that support long-term growth without sacrificing the people behind the business.

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
