FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FIRMS
HR for Firms Where People Are the Product.
Law, accounting, agencies, consulting — your talent is your inventory and your reputation. We build the compensation, hiring, and retention systems that keep your best people billing and staying.
Built for partner-led firms and agencies where margin lives and dies on people.

SOUND FAMILIAR?
Every people problem is a margin problem.
When billable people are the business, HR is how you protect revenue, reputation, and the partners' time.
01
Your best people are your biggest flight risk
Top billers get recruited constantly. Without a real retention story, you're one counteroffer from losing the book of business they carry.
02
Compensation is guesswork
Salary, bonus, and profit share set by feel. New hires get bid up while loyal staff fall behind — pay compression becomes your next resignation wave.
03
There's no path to the top
Ambitious associates ask "what's next" and get a vague answer. Talented people leave when the partner or principal track is undefined.
04
Hiring credentialed talent takes forever
CPAs, attorneys, and senior consultants are scarce and slow to land. With no pipeline, roles sit open while the team eats the overflow.
05
Reviews measure hours, not growth
Performance is judged on utilization alone. Without development and feedback, your seniors plateau and start taking recruiter calls.
06
Burnout quietly erodes the margin
Crunch seasons with no capacity planning. The cost shows up later — a replaced senior can run 200% of salary once you count lost billings.
HOW WE HELP
An HR function built around billable people.
We turn your people from your biggest cost into your biggest competitive advantage.
PARTNER
Compensation That Retains
Market-benchmarked salary bands, bonus formulas, and profit-share models that reward the right behavior — and fix the pay compression pushing seniors out.
PARTNER
Recruit Credentialed Talent
A real pipeline for CPAs, attorneys, and senior consultants — structured interviews that protect billable quality and offers that close fast.
STRATEGIC
Career Paths That Scale
A defined partner / principal track, performance reviews managers actually run, and succession so the firm outlives any one rainmaker.
