Pricing is transparent and designed to scale with your business—whether you're looking for a light-touch advisor or a hands-on strategic partner. Pricing ranges from $250- 400/hour billed monthly. We'll work with you during the discovery call to determine the best fit for your firm’s size and goals. Generally, firms can work with us three ways: Tiered monthly packages based on the level of support your firm needs. Project-based contract for a specific initiative. As-needed consulting by the hour.

Our service packages range from 5 to 40+ hours per month, depending on your selected tier. You’ll always know what’s included, and we ensure high-impact support is delivered efficiently—whether it’s building out your people strategy, coaching leaders, or tackling urgent people ops needs.

Once we agree to move forward, we kick off with a structured onboarding process that includes a discovery session, a deep dive into your current people operations, and the co-creation of a 6-month roadmap. This ensures we’re aligned on your goals, key priorities, and the best ways we can support your team right from the start.

A Fractional Chief People Officer or Fractional Director of Human Resources provides strategic leadership and HR expertise at a fraction of the cost of hiring a full- time executive. While a full-time HR director may focus on tactical, day-to-day operations, a Fractional CPO helps you with big-picture planning—such as culture development, talent management, and organizational design—without the need for a full-time commitment.

We bring a toolkit built specifically for scaling RIAs—this includes advisor benchmarking data from multiple sources, performance management and career path templates, engagement survey tools, project management systems, and change management frameworks. We also integrate with your existing systems (e.g., Gusto, Workday) and rely on proven processes around employee development, compensation, and leadership development.

We understand that needs evolve. Whether you want to increase support during periods of rapid growth or scale back during quieter times, we offer flexible, scalable services. We'll work with you to adjust our support to match your business goals and budget.

We take the time to deeply understand your mission, vision, and values and interview all key leaders at your firm during the onboarding process. We then apply this understanding to all of our people strategies—from hiring to compensation planning to employee development. We want to make sure that every recommendation we make is aligned with your company culture to ensure long-term success.

Yes! We can provide full-service recruitment support for our tiered, monthly service clients, from creating job descriptions to sourcing candidates and conducting interviews. We help you attract top talent and ensure the best-fit hires for your firm’s needs and culture. If you're scaling or have hiring needs, we can help streamline the process.

We focus on key performance indicators (KPIs) that matter to your business, such as employee engagement, retention, and the impact of leadership development. We also align with you on measurable outcomes at the beginning of our partnership and provide regular check-ins to track progress. Success is always defined by the goals you want to achieve.

We provide actionable insights and reports on your talent strategy, workforce metrics (e.g., turnover rates, engagement levels), and the ROI of people initiatives. Our goal is to make sure you always have the data you need to make informed decisions.

In addition to our retainer packages, we offer project-based engagements and hourly consultations for specific HR needs, such as compensation benchmarking, employee handbook creation, or an advisor training or workshop. Whether it's a one-time project or a short-term strategy, we can provide support tailored to your exact needs.
