HR Compliance Matters More Than Tax Compliance ... (hear me out!)

Your tax and biz operations compliance are important ...

no question!

But, while costly, tax and business filing violations can take years to discover and may end up with a fine to pay.  When you have employees, it only takes one communication for someone to report your company to the government and several months or years of troubles can begin.

How many conflicting answers, complicated requirements, and misleading paths have you encountered while striving to get your HR questions answered in managing your team by the letter of the law?

All the online searches are beyond frustrating and simply leave you more confused and no further ahead than when you began. In many cases, you find yourself copy/pasting something together and making it work.

Here's the reality...

  • As your team grows, there is as much time managing the team as delivering products & services to clients, if not more.

  • A majority of businesses utilize a CFO or an Admin Assistant to figure out the HR stuff and they lack any real experience needed in HR compliance.

  • Even if you ask your attorney all your HR questions, you still have to know which questions to ask to get an answer that will make any sense.

  • Most employment compliance concerns can be mitigated by establishing a strong people infrastructure within your business.

The truth about building a successful business beyond being a solopreneur is clear:

  • It's overwhelming to think about being responsible for more than yourself

  • Many business owners stifle their growth because they don't want to hire

  • Once you think you've figured something out, the laws or requirements change

  • ​It requires significant investment of time and money

  • People management isn't a skill anyone is born with, it's learned over time

  • Stepping up as the leader of a team means committing to being in this for the long haul and not just giving up on yourself

Exciting, right??

Once we put all the scaries on the table about managing a business with a big team, you can start to imagine all the positives of being able to grow a successful business that gives you the lifestyle and freedom that we all dream about when owning a business. Whether that's more time with family and working less or having clients around the globe and a team of folks who share your values in making an impact on the work, there's nothing that compares to seeing the growth and scale you couldn't imagine at one point.

Nothing compares to it.

You have the opportunity to make a significant impact on the industry in which you work and in the lives of your clients.

You grow a business beyond what you can do yourself as one person hustling to make it happen.

You can rest easy and feel immensely proud in seeing your business evolve into a legacy-building entity that benefits your family and those of your team members.

You become the CEO of a company filled with an engaged and loyal team that stays with you long-term.
