Lower overhead compared to hiring an in-house HR leader
-
Reduced compliance risks with experts who stay current on regulations like FMLA, OSHA, and multi-state labor laws

Scalable support that adjusts as your business grows or contracts
-
Improved employee satisfaction & retention through better processes, training, and benefits strategy

Outsourced HR Frequently Asked Questions
Fractional HR provides senior-level human resources expertise on a part-time or project basis. Instead of paying for a full-time HR executive, you get customized support when and how you need it.
At Preferred CFO we custom tailor your hr services. This doesn't have to break your budget, however. The cost depends on the scope of services, from payroll and compliance support to full HR department outsourcing.

Small to mid-sized businesses often see the greatest ROI, but even larger organizations use fractional HR for special projects, compliance audits, or when scaling quickly. We have experience providing human resources solutions to companies of all sizes.
Yes! Professional HR support strengthens onboarding, training, benefits, and employee relations, all of which play a critical role in engagement and long-term retention. You can focus on the other parts of your business while Preferred CFO provides expert level hr solutions.
