What We Do

Ops Infrastructure
We design the internal systems that keep your startup running smoothly. That means clarifying team processes, supporting founder and executive workflows, and streamlining tools and communications. We also lead retreats, onboarding efforts, and systems selection—from HRIS platforms to payroll and PEO implementation—so your operations can scale without chaos.

Finance & Compliance
Our finance support focuses on startup realities: limited time, lean tools, and high expectations. We guide budgeting and cash flow planning, help track grants and restricted funds, and ensure you're ready for audits or tax season. We also build internal controls tailored to small teams, and support early financial modeling—especially for needs like 409A valuations or board reporting.

People & HR Systems
We help startups set up thoughtful, scalable people operations from day one. That includes building hiring processes that reflect your values, designing performance review systems that actually lead to growth, and creating compensation strategies with clear leveling and transparency. We also cover the essentials—HR compliance, documentation, onboarding flows, and the internal systems that shape your culture.
