Fractional HR · Payroll · Operations · Finance
WellRun gives small businesses a senior HR and operations partner for a set monthly fee. We run your payroll, manage your HR platform, pay your bills, build your budget and keep you compliant, so you can get back to running your business.
What we take off your plate
Most small businesses juggle an HR consultant, a payroll provider and an operations person, then still pay the bills themselves. WellRun covers all of it, so nothing falls between them.
Stay compliant and handle people issues with confidence.
We run the systems so your team gets paid right and on time.
Get the business out of your head and the bills off your desk.

Packages
Every package starts after a Health Check, so we know exactly what you need before you commit.
Where every client starts
A two to three week review of your compliance, policies, payroll setup and day-to-day processes. You get a written list of risks and priorities, in order. If you start a package within 30 days, the full fee is credited to your first month.

Who you'll work with
I've spent over 10 years running HR, most recently as a Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) and Director of HR, with a background in growth strategy and operations management. I started WellRun because small business owners deserve the same back-office support big companies have, without paying for a full-time hire.
When you work with WellRun, you work with me and a small, experienced team that includes a former business owner and construction executive. No call centers and no handoffs.
Questions
You get an experienced HR and operations professional for part of the month instead of hiring one full time. A full-time HR manager typically costs well over $100,000 a year in salary alone. A fractional partner gives you the same expertise for the hours you actually need.
No. We work inside the system you already use, including Gusto, ADP, Paychex, Asure, ConnectPay, Paylocity, Paycor, Paycom, OnPay and QuickBooks Payroll. If your current setup is causing problems, we can help you choose and move to a better one.
Packages start with a 3-month commitment so we have time to fix the big things. After that, everything is month to month and you can change or cancel with 30 days' notice.
We'll tell you before it happens. Extra hours are billed at $150/hr, or we can move you to the next package if it's become the better fit.
We build budgets and manage your bills (accounts payable), and we work alongside your bookkeeper or CPA, who still handles your books and tax filings. We'll keep them in the loop so everything matches.
We step in right away. We gather the personnel files, pay records and documentation your attorney needs, build a clear timeline of what happened, and handle the coordination so you can keep running the business. We're not a law firm, so your employment attorney leads the legal side while we support them.
