I help small business owners and startup founders bring structure to the chaos. Most of the people I work with are great at what they do — they just need someone who can step in, see what is not working, and help put things in order without making it complicated, corporate, or unnecessarily expensive. I have spent 15+ years building HR departments from the ground up, managing high-volume recruiting across multiple industries, processing payroll, supporting financial operations, and creating systems that make businesses run smoother. I am not “corporate HR.” I am the person who helps you figure out what needs to get done, makes it happen, and builds processes that can last beyond your first 20 hires. I work best with founders, executives, and small business owners who are wearing too many hats and need a trusted operator who can help carry the load. I keep things simple, I work fast, and I care about building processes that protect the business while still supporting the people who help it grow. --- My Expertise Includes: People Operations & HR Leadership * HR department buildout from the ground up * Workforce planning, org design, and team structure * HR compliance support, audits, documentation, and risk reduction * Policy development, employee handbooks, SOPs, and internal procedures * Employee relations, workplace investigations, corrective action, and terminations * Performance management systems, review cycles, and manager coaching * Onboarding, offboarding, employee documentation, and personnel file management * Benefits administration, open enrollment support, and broker/vendor coordination * Employee engagement, retention planning, recognition programs, and workplace culture support * HR analytics, dashboards, KPIs, turnover tracking, and workforce reporting Recruiting & Talent Operations * High-volume recruiting across multiple industries * End-to-end hiring: sourcing, screening, interviews, offers, and onboarding * ATS setup, candidate tracking, interview frameworks, and hiring workflows * Job description creation, compensation alignment, and candidate pipeline development * Recruiting process improvement and hiring manager support Payroll, Compliance & HR Systems * 15+ years of payroll processing experience * Multi-state and international payroll support * W-2 and 1099 payroll workflows * Payroll audits, corrections, cleanup, and compliance reviews * Time tracking, overtime workflows, and pay policy implementation * State tax account setup and payroll registration support * HRIS, payroll, and timekeeping system implementation and optimization * Experience navigating and learning a wide range of payroll and HR platforms quickly Financial Operations Support In addition to HR and payroll, I also support small businesses with financial operations that keep the back office moving. This includes: * Accounts payable support * Accounts receivable support * Invoice tracking and payment follow-up * Payment processing coordination * Vendor and contractor payment workflows * Light bookkeeping support * Expense tracking and reporting * Financial operations cleanup and process improvement * Coordination between payroll, contractor payments, billing, and internal reporting I am not positioning myself as a CPA or tax advisor, but I am very comfortable managing the day-to-day financial operations that many small businesses need help organizing. I can also coordinate with accountants, bookkeepers, tax professionals, and finance partners to make sure records, payments, and reporting stay clean. ### Business Operations & Executive Support * Executive operations and Chief of Staff-style support * Managing CEO/founder priorities, follow-through, and special projects * Building and improving workflows across departments * System implementation: CRMs, HRIS, payroll, accounting, project management, and automation tools * Business process audits, cleanup projects, and operational restructuring * Cross-functional communication and team alignment * Vendor management, internal reporting, and operational accountability * Acting as the bridge between leadership, employees, vendors, and systems --- ### Why Clients Work With Me My approach is action-focused, practical, and rooted in solving the actual problem — not just creating more paperwork. I work strategically, I explain clearly, and I do not overcomplicate the process. I understand that people drive the business, but people operations, payroll, compliance, and financial workflows still need to align with the company’s goals. I help businesses connect the dots between people, money, systems, and execution. If your business is growing and you need someone who can step in, clean things up, build structure, and help keep operations moving, let’s connect. I am ready to jump in and make a lasting impact.
