Why this matters
California employers face steep fines for missing required posters, incomplete I-9s, and improperly classified workers. Getting it right before you hire protects you from day one.
Delivered in 5–7 business days
We build your full HR starter kit, review it with you, and hand over everything organized and ready — digital files, print-ready posters, and completed forms.
Great starting point for ongoing HR
Many startup clients transition to our monthly Essentials plan after setup — so your HR stays current as your team grows, without starting from scratch.

Our unique differentiator

We audit before we act — always.

Before any ongoing engagement begins, we audit your personnel files, policies, payroll, and compliance posture. We find what's broken, fix it, then take over. No other HR firm does this.
