For previous 2 years+, I have been working with a FinOps client who has a fractional HR service as an Independent contractor, direct bill and not on UpWork platform which explains my lack of recent UpWork contracts. In this position, I have helped small business clients configure their Gusto payroll,, and have create appropriate HR policies, processes, etc. to ensure state/federal compliance and just as important, helps the client to concentrate on building his business vs. worrying about the HR function.
AND I have an amazing work ethic! You won't have to micromanage me- I'm a self starter, I know what needs to be done and work very hard to allow my clients to focus on building a successful business without fretting over Human Resources.
