People and systems
HR & IT
Your first hires bring paperwork, policies and payroll. Your team runs on accounts, laptops and a growing pile of software subscriptions. None of it is the product, and all of it has to be right.
I set up the people side and the systems side properly, document how they work, and keep them running as you grow.
Working with your advisorsEmployment contracts and tricky people situations go through your lawyer, and payroll and benefits through your accountant or provider. I handle the set-up, paperwork and follow-through around them.
What I take on
- Job postings, offer letters and contractor agreements (from your lawyer's templates)
- Onboarding and offboarding checklists
- A simple employee handbook and core policies
- Coordinating payroll and benefits providers
- Accounts and access: email, file sharing, passwords
- Laptops, phones and software licences, tracked and tidy
- Backups and basic security that's easy to live with
