Hire the Best Time Management Specialists in Utah

Companies start looking for a Chief of Staff when the business is growing, but execution isn’t keeping up. You have direction, you have priorities - but turning that into clear plans, ownership, and consistent follow-through is where things break down. That’s where I step in - I work directly with founders and leadership teams to take strategy, and make it real across the business. • Turning direction into clear plans and timelines • Establishing ownership and accountability across teams • Driving cross-functional execution without creating drag • Surfacing risks early and bringing solutions, not just problems I'm most effective when: • Priorities exist, but don’t translate into execution • Initiatives start strong but lose momentum • The founder is the bottleneck for decisions and direction • The business feels harder to run than it should Within the first 30 days: • Priorities stabilize and translate into execution • Ownership is clear across key initiatives • Work moves forward without constant escalation • Leadership has visibility into what’s actually happening My role is simple - bring structure, pace, and follow-through so the business can scale without all the chaos. If that’s the gap you’re trying to close, we should talk.

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.

Hey there! I'm a start-up specialist with more than 8 years of experience doing what I do best: working closely with founders to build and market cutting-edge products. For the past few years my focus has been pushing the boundaries of what AI products can do. In other words, I don't build glorified chatbots. I build innovative products that create real value. By focusing on user experience and borrowing development paradigms I learned in the lean start-up ecosystem, I am able to deliver features in a matter of days while still ensuring that my code is secure, scalable and maintainable. I have many years of experience with the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) and SSG/SSR stacks using tools like Gatsby and NextJS. I also have extensive experience with serverless architectures. What I do: MVP Architecture and Implementation - I've built countless MVPs for companies from the ground up. My experience has taught me how to manage the delicate balancing act between speed, cost, and user experience to maximize what you can get out of your MVP. Frontend Development - I have extensive experience designing and building performant, highly useable, and aesthetically pleasing frontends for web applications using React.js, TypeScript, Angular, and Gatsby Backend Development - I build and optimize backends in Node.js, from small internal APIs to large-scale public APIs with complex requirements and high throughput. I know how to architect backend systems that operate at scale and provide error-free business logic.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 “Michael took our Amazon sales from $1M to $3M/mo in just 6 months, really amazing! He is by far the best Amazon expert we have ever worked with. He is always very responsive when we communicate. He understands exactly what we are looking to accomplish, and he helps us greatly improve our SEO regularly. We continue to only work with Michael on everything Amazon-related. - Kaylor, Client since 2019 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 “Before I hired Michael my sales on Amazon were at about $1,000/mo, but now I sell about $60K/mo on Amazon. I couldn’t be any happier with his work! He regularly helps me out a ton with my Amazon listings and on how to optimize them! He is very good at communicating and has actually told/taught me why he did certain things and how it affects my sales/listings.” - Chris, Client since 2019 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 "Michael is very knowledgeable in all things related to Amazon and we are very happy with the work he has done to optimize our item listings. He has been able to answer any questions we've had about even very detailed and nuanced things. He also has a great network of content creators that have done excellent copy and photography for us. In the past, we've hired content creators individually but having Michael has saved us a great amount of time and effort that would have been spent trying to find and vet competent freelancers. We enjoy regularly working with them." - Luke, Client since 2019 OVERVIEW: ⚡ Launched over 1,000 products onto the Amazon marketplace. ⚡ Manage PPC campaigns with $6M/mo in sales. ⚡ Worked with clients to launch products, market research, optimize listings, keyword research, product images, copy, advertising, you name it. 💰 FREE CASE STUDY ON THE CRYSTAL BALL PRODUCT: Get an inside scoop on how I process Amazon strategies.

STORYTIME: Have you ever hired a local contractor for a home project, chosen the best price, and then been disappointed with the results? That happened to me last summer. We wanted to add a concrete path on our property, so we hired a neighbor who offered the lowest price. After the project was completed, we noticed the path wasn’t straight, and the width varied along its length. We learned a valuable lesson: the best price doesn’t always mean the best quality. This principle applies to Amazon services too. While we may not be the cheapest, we prioritize quality and take the time needed to deliver excellent results. The saying is true: you get what you pay for. One thing I will tell you that other Amazon consultants might not is that the ultimate success of your Amazon brand heavily depends on your product offering. While it's crucial to increase your organic keyword count, optimize your listings with compelling content to boost click-through rates, and manage advertising to lower your TACoS, these efforts can only go so far if the product offering isn't right. If your product offering isn't strong—if it has low review ratings, fewer reviews compared to competitors, or is in a saturated market with established brands—it will be more challenging to succeed on Amazon.
