The employee range Charter HR knows best
Law firms, accounting practices, marketing agencies, consultancies, architecture and engineering firms, and other professional shops run on talent.
The cost of a bad hire, a missed compliance filing, or a benefits package that cannot compete is measured in lost clients and lost people. Charter HR takes the HR weight off your partners and your office manager so you can spend your time on the work you actually bill for.
The Problems We Solve
The HR details that quietly drain partner time.
Professional services firms need clean payroll, competitive benefits, careful documentation, and a partner who handles sensitive personnel issues without drama.
Competitive benefits without enterprise overhead
Your associates and senior staff have options. Major medical, dental, vision, life, disability, and 401(k) support help small and mid-size firms compete with bigger names.
Bonus, commission, and partner draw payroll
Quarterly bonuses, billable-hour bonuses, commission structures, partner draws, and irregular pay events need payroll that handles complexity without surprises.
Multi-state and remote employee compliance
If employees work from home in another state, you might have payroll, tax, and HR exposure there. We help with registrations, filings, and compliance.
HR policies that actually protect the firm
Handbooks, leave policies, PTO, harassment training, and performance documentation keep small disagreements from becoming larger problems.
Talent retention and 401(k) administration
Your senior people are watching the match, vesting, and rollover process closely. We administer plans with the responsiveness your team expects.
Confidentiality and discretion
Your firm handles sensitive client matters. Your HR partner needs to operate with the same level of discretion. We do.
