Business Advisory
We find it. We fix it. We build the systems so it doesn't happen again.
Risk concentrates as you grow, from early hiring through every new compliance layer. That's where we start.
You built this by moving fast, and that's exactly why some of the systems haven't caught up yet.
These issues are usually easy to fix early. Left alone, they start taking up time you'd rather spend running the business.
Defending and settling a single employment claim costs employers an average of $75,000. That's before a jury ever sees it. Most businesses that call us had no idea the exposure existed.
We like to get involved early, so a small HR gap or a vendor issue doesn't turn into something bigger.
Why HEART
Most advisors cover one area. When your risk spans HR, supply chain, and strategy at the same time (and it usually does), one area isn't enough.
Employment Risk
An employment attorney with director-level HR experience at Texas state agencies. Legal expertise and operational HR in one advisor. That combination is rare.
Supply Chain
Six Sigma certified. Trained to find fragility in operations before it becomes a crisis. Vendor concentration, single-source dependencies, procurement gaps.
Strategy & Sales
19 years in sales. 6 years building businesses in Texas. HEART's founder has EDC board experience and has built entrepreneurship programs here. He knows this market.
How we work
Start where you are.
We'll tell you honestly what you need.
Single Day Engagement
You're facing a decision and need expert perspective fast. Hiring. Vendor contracts. Restructuring. HR incident. Growth strategy.
One day with our team. One clear recommendation. One written action plan to move forward.
Investment is scoped to your company size and engagement complexity.
2-3 Week Engagement
The starting point for most engagements. We conduct a full diagnostic across your HR practices, supply chain structure, operations, and strategy. You get a clear picture of your highest-exposure areas and a prioritized roadmap to address them.
A clear, prioritized plan you can act on - not a binder you'll never open.
Investment is scoped to your company size and engagement complexity.
1-3 Month Engagement
We don't only recommend changes - we help your team implement them across HR, supply chain, and operations.
This is where the real work happens.
Investment is scoped to your company size and engagement complexity.
Monthly Retainer
Your expert team. On call. Monthly access to our full advisory team: HR strategy, supply chain, technology, and business strategy.
Retainer clients usually catch these issues early, often before they'd need to call a lawyer.
Investment is scoped to your company size and engagement complexity.
Also available
Not every problem requires a full engagement. Some need one thing done right. Use these on their own, or alongside a package.
Employee Handbook & HR Policies
Scoped project
Undocumented policies are your liability in court. A handbook that is actually used changes that.
HR Risk Audit
Scoped project
Most employment claims begin with something that was never written down. Find the gaps before a former employee does.
Compliance Training (half/full day)
Half or full day
Your managers make HR decisions every day. Most have never been trained on what is legal. One session changes the exposure profile of your entire company.
Supply Chain / Vendor Risk Audit
Audit
Nearly half of businesses experienced supply chain disruption from a third-party failure last year. Find your single points of failure before they find you.
RFP / Procurement Management
Scoped project
Most businesses leave value on the table when they go to bid. We run the process so your vendor relationships are built on terms, not habit.
AI & Automation Assessment
Assessment
Find where technology can replace a manual process, and where it cannot. No vendor pitch. Just an honest read of your operations.
