?Questions
HR & People: common questions
Are you an employment law firm?
No. We build and run your HR systems and coordinate with an employment attorney for legal review, which matters in California.
Can you help us hire our first manager?
Yes. Defining the role, running the search and planning the handoff from the owner is one of our most common projects.
Do you run payroll yourselves?
We set up and oversee payroll in your provider, review each run and handle changes, so payroll stays accurate without you doing it.
Often paired with
Succession & Exit Planning
Preparing the business, the people and the numbers for a transition on your terms.
Financial Management & Fractional CFO
Budgets, cash-flow forecasts and a monthly review that explains the numbers in plain English.
Growth & Marketing Strategy
