Your HR, set up right.
Practical, California-specific HR and operations help for small businesses — without hiring a lawyer or a full-time HR person. I work with you directly to get the paperwork, policies, and processes in place the right way.
You're hiring your first employees
And you want to do it right the first time instead of untangling it later.
You're not sure where the gaps are
You have some things in place, but no one's ever checked whether it holds up under California rules.
You can't justify a full-time HR hire
But you still need someone who actually knows California employment law in your corner.
Ways to work together
Flat, transparent pricing. You'll always know the cost and the scope before we start — no hourly surprises.

Why work with me
California-specific
Everything is built for California law — not generic, out-of-state forms that miss what actually matters here.
A real library behind me
Every engagement is backed by thousands of vetted California HR documents — so you get thorough work, fast.
Built for small business
Priced and paced for businesses without an HR department — practical help, in plain English.
Practical guidance, not legal advice
I help you get your HR set up sensibly and understand what California generally requires — but I'm not an attorney, and this isn't legal advice. Nothing here guarantees legal compliance for your specific situation. For legal determinations about your business, I'll always point you toward a qualified California employment attorney rather than give you advice I'm not qualified to give.
Let's figure out if I can help.
The intro call is free and there's no pressure. Worst case, you leave with a clearer sense of where your HR stands.
