Former HR Director in construction & real estate
Lisa Goodnight
I’ve managed HR for construction crews, property managers, and multi-site teams. When a client calls with a problem, I’ve usually already solved it somewhere else.
Former HR leader for organizations up to 19,000 employees
Denise Diamond
I’ve built HR departments from scratch and managed them at scale: 50 employees, 400, 700 across 50 locations. Small businesses don’t need less HR. They need someone who knows what good looks like.
Former HR executive for 4,000+ employee organizations
Nina Lund
I’ve sat across from DOL investigators, guided organizations through litigation, and helped CEOs navigate the conversations no one prepares you for. When it’s complicated, that’s when I’m most useful.
What makes us different
Most HR firms give you policies and procedures. We give you a financial return.
We start with your business, not an HR checklist.
Before we touch a single policy, we learn your business plan, your margins, and your priorities. Every recommendation ties back to what you’re building.
Case study
Whoever was doing HR just left
NW Manufacturing’s only HR person walked out. We learned the business first, then took over payroll, benefits and compliance without a gap.
Read the case studyWe measure the outcomes, not just the activity.
Turnover cost, workers’ comp savings, time-to-hire, compliance exposure. We track what proves HR is working for your bottom line.
Capability showcase
Payroll ran on manual calculations
A 110-employee client hit the participant count that triggers an annual plan audit, with every 401(k) and Roth deferral still calculated by hand. We reconfigured payroll, standardized the documentation, and cut processing time 89%.

FAQ
Common questions about fractional HR
What is fractional HR?
Fractional HR means hiring a seasoned HR professional on a part-time or as-needed basis, giving your business the expertise of a full HR department at a fraction of the cost. Instead of a $80,000 to $120,000 annual salary plus benefits, you get expert HR support scaled to your business size and budget.
How much does IndeHR cost?
IndeHR offers flexible service plans for small businesses, from on-demand HR support to fully managed HR. Pricing is tailored to your business needs and size. Schedule a free 30-minute consultation to get a custom quote, no commitment required.
Is IndeHR right for my business size?
Yes. IndeHR works with businesses from startups (1 to 10 employees) to growing companies with 50+ employees. Whether you're a founder handling HR yourself or a solo HR professional who needs expert backup, we scale our support to fit your exact situation.
What makes IndeHR different from hiring a full-time HR person?
A full-time HR hire typically costs $80,000 to $120,000 per year in salary, plus benefits and overhead. With IndeHR, you get the same caliber of expertise on a flexible, fractional basis, so you only pay for what you need. You also benefit from multi-industry experience across dozens of companies that a single in-house employee simply cannot match.
