Flexible engagements. Senior thinking. Real results.
There's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to organizational work.
Some challenges need a quick advisory conversation. Others need someone embedded for months. Most fall somewhere in between.
We offer five engagement models so you can get the right level of support — without overpaying for what you don't need or underinvesting in what you do.
Not sure which fits? Tell us what's going on and we'll figure it out together.
Senior thinking, on demand.
Access to experienced strategic counsel without a long-term commitment. Ideal when you need a thought partner, a second opinion, or someone to pressure-test your thinking before you move.
This is right for you if:
- You have a specific decision to make and want expert input
- You're early in a problem and need help framing it
- You want a sounding board without a full engagement
- You need a quick read on a people, change, or org challenge
From $295
Examples may include
- "Should I restructure this team or hire into the gap?"
- "We're about to announce a big change — help me think through the communication."
- "I need someone to review this org design before I present it to the board."
- "Something is off with my leadership team and I can't put my finger on it."
Defined scope. Clear deliverables. Done.
For organizations with a specific initiative that needs senior-level ownership and execution. We scope the work, lead it, and deliver — so you can stay focused on running the business.
This is right for you if:
- You have a defined project with a clear start and end
- No one internally has bandwidth to own it
- You need someone who can manage stakeholders and deliver results
- You want a fixed scope, not an open-ended retainer
From $1,500
Examples may include
- Org redesign with new role architecture and transition plan
- Change management for a system rollout or restructure
- HR function build — policies, processes, and infrastructure
- Manager development program design and delivery
- AI readiness assessment and implementation roadmap
- Internal communications strategy for a major transition
Embedded expertise. Without the full-time cost.
Ongoing senior-level support on a part-time basis — typically a set number of hours per week or month. You get consistent, embedded expertise without adding a full-time headcount.
This is right for you if:
- You need ongoing HR or operational leadership but can't justify a full-time hire
- You're between hires and need continuity
- You want someone who knows your business, not just your ticket queue
- You need strategic and operational support — not just one or the other
From $1,250/month
Examples may include
- Fractional CHRO or VP HR
- Fractional Chief of Staff
- Fractional HR Business Partner
- Fractional Change Lead
- Fractional People Operations Lead
- Fractional Project or Program Manager

- Fractional Workforce Planning Lead
The back office, handled.
Ongoing payroll administration, HR compliance, and workforce operations support. We manage the operational side of HR so you can focus on the work that actually moves your business forward.
This is right for you if:
- Payroll is taking too much time or generating too many errors
- You're not confident you're compliant with employment law
- You need HR infrastructure without a full HR team
- You want someone accountable for the operational details
From $250/month
Examples may include
- Payroll processing and administration
- New hire onboarding and offboarding
- Benefits administration support
- HR compliance monitoring
- Employee records management
- HR policy maintenance
Organizational effectiveness for mission-driven organizations.
Advisory and consulting services scoped specifically to nonprofit organizations — using the NORTH for Nonprofits™ framework to identify what's constraining your growth and build the systems to move past it.
This is right for you if:
- You're a nonprofit leader who knows something isn't working but can't name it
- You want a structured framework, not generic nonprofit advice
- You're ready to invest in organizational health, not just program delivery
- You want a partner who understands both the mission and the business

Not Sure Which Fits?
Most people arrive with one of these:
You don't need to know which engagement model applies before you reach out. Tell us what's going on and we'll recommend the right fit — or design something custom if none of these quite match.
"I have a specific project but I'm not sure how to scope it."
"I need ongoing support but I don't know how much."
"I just know something isn't working and I need help figuring out what."
"I've worked with consultants before and it didn't go well — I want something different."

We'll recommend an engagement model and scope based on what you've shared — and be direct if we're not the right fit.
We get to work
Once we're aligned, we move fast. No lengthy onboarding. No unnecessary process. Just the work.
