PEO Implementation & Optimization | Systems Strategy | Operational Governance
Fractional HR Operations | Lifecycle Management | Change Management
Ridge + Row is a consulting firm born from the belief that great strategy is meaningless without the discipline to see it through.
A nod to the town where I’ve planted my roots with my family, Ridge + Row also represents the dual nature of growth:
- Ridge: This is the vision. The steep uphill ahead of us, leading to the peak we’re aiming for. It represents the high-level strategy and the ambitious “why” behind your business.
- Row: This is the execution. It’s the rhythm, the synchronized effort, the smooth momentum that we bring to move the needle forward.
OUR SERVICES
The Ridge Project
The Ridge Project
Project Based Support
The "Ridge" represents the big-picture transition. This is for the business that has just signed with a new platform and realizes they’ve inherited a second full-time job for the next two months.
What’s included:
- End-to-End Project Management: Acting as your expert liaison and project lead from the kickoff call to the completion of your initial payroll runs.
- Data Migration & Cleanup: I handle the "data homework"—gathering census info, pay history, and tax IDs so you don't have to.
- Benefit Integration: Ensuring your plans and deductions map correctly from Day 1.
- Audit-First Launch: A line-by-line audit of your first two payroll runs to ensure total accuracy before you "go live."
- PEO Specialty: If you are moving to a PEO, I manage the specific complexities of the "co-employment" setup, ensuring your business is shielded and set up for maximum ROI.
The Steady Row
The Steady Row
Monthly Retainer for Ongoing Support
The "Row" represents the daily rhythm. This is for the business that wants seamless technology but doesn't want to spend their Friday nights auditing payroll or chasing down I-9s.
While I specialize in maximizing PEO (Professional Employer Organization) environments, my support is platform-agnostic—whether you’re on a PEO or a standard HRIS, I ensure the machine runs perfectly.
What’s included:
- Payroll Lifecycle Management: Entering, submitting, and auditing every pay cycle for 100% accuracy.
- Seamless Onboarding/Offboarding: Managing the digital paperwork trail for every new hire and termination.
- State Tax & Compliance Support: Assisting with the headache of state tax notices and UI claims.
- Platform Mastery: You only have to log into your systems when you want to—I am your "Fractional Systems Administrator."
The Rescue

Best for:
- Unexpected Workers' Comp or state agency audits.
- Fixing a phantom payroll error from a previous quarter.
- Urgent platform training for a new Office Manager.
- Clean-up projects for messy legacy data.
