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.

Hi, my name is Lindsey. I have over twenty years of experience consulting, managing, and administrating Human Resources, Recruiting, Training, and Staffing. Over nine of those years have been in a virtual capacity. I run worldwide virtual and traditional teams in multiple industries of up to 2K team members at a time. I have a PHR certification from SHRM. I have excelled and have extensive experience in male-dominated industries like oil and gas, firearms, and tech. I love working for startups and small businesses, but I also work with large companies like Amazon, Stanley Black and Decker, and Sutherland Global. I also have experience as a mentor for the next generation of HR professionals. Specifically, I specialize in helping my clients to create sound HR and Recruiting departments and then help them to hire and manage the work of a JR HR professional in those systems. Additionally I have experience in payroll, benefits, unions, and alternative financial benefits and pay structures like ESOP, VC, and phantom shares.
I am one of the highest-rated and verified Human Resources and Recruiting experts on Upwork and I work with several Upwork Plus and Corporate Cloud clients. I am a multiple award winner by the American Business Women's Association where I was awarded Protege 2016, Woman of the year 2017, Women of Excellence 2019, and one of their 2022 Top Ten Business Woman. I was nominated for the Houston Business Journals Most Admired CEO of the Year Award, the Houston Small Business Association's Woman Business Owner of the Year Award.
I would love the opportunity to speak to you about my skills and qualifications and learn more about your needs. Thank you for your time and consideration.
