Why bring in an HR consultant
You need senior HR judgment. You don't necessarily need a full-time hire.
Reduce compliance risk
Employment law, I-9s, wage-and-hour rules, and recordkeeping requirements keep changing, and small gaps can become costly penalties. I find them before an auditor does.
Control your people costs
Benefits, compensation, and payroll are often your largest expenses. Market-based pay structures and smarter benefits design protect your budget without losing good people.
Get expertise at the right size
A full-time senior HR leader is a major fixed cost. Project-based or fractional support gives you that experience only when and where you need it.
Free your leaders to lead
When policies, systems, and processes actually work, owners and executives spend less time putting out HR fires and more time running the organization.
Who I work with
Growing businesses
Owner-led companies that have outgrown informal HR but don't need a full-time HR executive yet. I bring structure to compliance, pay, and policies so you can grow without surprises.
Nonprofits
Executive directors and boards who need sound HR on a tight budget. I help you stay compliant, design fair compensation, and protect your mission from costly people issues.
Why work with me: SPHR certified, hands-on from audit through implementation, and focused on measurable results, not binders of recommendations. Serving organizations across Minnesota and remotely.
