HEART Advisory Group helps Texas communities and their businesses eliminate risk, optimize operations, and scale with confidence, across HR, supply chain, technology, and strategy.
Why businesses call us
A good idea gets a business off the ground. What keeps it growing is the systems behind it, and that's what we help you build.
Federal employment protections can apply at as few as 15 employees. At 50, FMLA and ACA add another layer. As you grow, supply chain cracks and documentation gaps get expensive. A single employment claim can cost $75,000+ before a jury ever sees it.
As a business grows, it usually finds the gaps in HR, supply chain, and operations, and we help you close them before they become a problem.

What we do
Growth concentrates hidden risk in HR, supply chain, and execution, whether you are a Main Street employer or a scaling company. Choose how we plug in.
For Texas Businesses
Most businesses at your stage are carrying some risk they haven't had time to look for, and we help them see it clearly: in their HR practices, their supply chain, their operations, and their strategy. We find it. We fix it. We build what protects you next.
For EDCs · Chambers · Cities
Great communities don't just attract businesses. They support them. We design and deliver the programs that turn good intentions into measurable economic growth, without ignoring financial, legal, or operational risk.
Our difference
Five letters. One integrated standard: pain first, proof second, risk named explicitly.
H · Human Centered
One misclassified employee. One missing policy. One undocumented termination. That's all it takes to turn growth into a $75,000 legal bill. That's legal risk, not bad intentions.
Our team includes an employment attorney with director-level HR experience from Texas state agencies. Your people and your business, protected.
E · Economic Development
Most EDC entrepreneurship programs don't fail because of bad intentions. They fail because the ecosystem was designed before anyone mapped what already existed.
We've built these programs from scratch in Texas. We have EDC board experience. We know what funders are excited about right now, and what will still have their support a few years from now.
A · Advisory
A deck, a few recommendations, then nothing. We stay involved until the plan is actually running.
R · Risk Mitigation
We help you catch issues while they're still small, and build systems that hold up as you grow.
T · Technology
From AI-powered automation assessments to custom procurement tools, we bring the same technology that enterprise companies use to Texas businesses that need it, without the enterprise overhead.
Not because it's trendy. Because it eliminates cost, risk, and guesswork.
When advisory work in the field demanded tools that did not exist, we built them, including ChatEDC for EDCs and chambers.
The proof is what we've helped leaders measure before risk became the headline.

We're one team that already works together, instead of a rotation of consultants who don't.
One team. One call. Every dimension of your organization covered, including the HR and operational risk no spreadsheet warns you about.
A discovery call takes about 30 minutes, and it's a good way to catch small issues while they're still easy to fix.
