HR built for finance and accounting firms, so you can focus on clients, not headcount.
You bill by the hour, busy season is brutal, and turnover in a lean firm hurts more than most. We build the people systems that finance, accounting, and professional-services firms need, from hiring and onboarding to retention and compliance, so your team runs while you serve clients.
We understand the firm model.
Seasonal load, billable pressure, hard-to-replace talent. Your HR should account for all of it, and most generic HR does not.

HR for firms, answered.
Do you work with finance and accounting firms?
Yes, finance, accounting, and professional-services firms are a core focus. We understand the billable model, busy season, and how much lean-team turnover really costs.
Can you help us keep people through busy season?
Yes. Retention, workload planning, and manager coaching are central to what we do, especially around seasonal peaks.
We are a small firm, is this overkill?
No. Small firms feel every departure hardest. We right-size the systems to your headcount and grow them with you.
Do you handle compliance for professional-services firms?
Yes, including classification, multi-state teams, and Colorado employment law. (Guidance, not legal advice.)
Can you implement HR changes around busy season?
Yes, that is the point. Heavy lifts land May through November, and during busy season we run in maintenance mode: onboarding seasonal staff, keeping compliance current, and staying out of your team’s way.
How much does fractional HR for an accounting firm cost?
Ongoing fractional support starts at $1,000 per month, scoped to firm size. Compare that to one mid-season departure: recruiting fees, lost realization, and the partner hours spent covering the desk. We baseline your numbers so the return is visible.
Do you work with firms outside Colorado?
Yes. We are Colorado-based and support firms nationwide, working remotely. Multi-state compliance for remote staff is one of the most common problems we solve for firms.
