We don’t deal in theory. We deal in the real, messy, human situations that keep business owners up at night and we help you navigate them with confidence
Single parents juggling school schedules shouldn’t mean lost productivity. We help you build flexibility that works for everyone, without the legal risk.
High performers burning out quietly is one of the most expensive problems a business can ignore. We help you intervene before it’s too late.
Small nonprofits doing HR on instinct and goodwill are one complaint away from a serious crisis. We become the HR team you can’t afford to hire full-time.
Skipping an offer letter. Misclassifying contractors. Handling complaints informally. These three patterns who up constantly and they’re all fixable before they become lawsuits.
Most first-time employers don’t realize what’s legally required the moment someone goes on payroll. We walk you through exactly what to have ready, so your first hire doesn’t become your first headache.
Informal cultures feel good, until a complaint surfaces and you have no documentation, no policy and no process. We help you build structure that doesn’t kill your culture.
Avoiding HR feels cheaper in the short term. One unaddressed complaint, one missed accommodation, one misclassification and the math changes fast. Let’s talk numbers.
Skipping an offer letter. Misclassifying contractors. Handling complaints informally. These three patterns who up constantly and they’re all fixable before they become lawsuits.
A retail client with 12 employees settled a harassment claim for $65,000, not because the behavior was extreme, but because the response was wrong. Documentation, timing, and tone all matter.
They’re rarely in the big and obvious places. They’re in the handbook nobody updated, the accommodation request someone mishandled, the supervisor who never got trained. We find those gaps before someone else does.
No obligation. Just a real conversation about where your HR stands.

Cross HR feature roadmap for nonprofits and small businesses
The nonprofit pain point you’re solving
Most nonprofits track time in Excel, paper logs, or nothing at all. This is because every “real” HR tool is priced and designed for corporations. CrossHR’s edge is radical simplicity at a price that actually fits a 10-person org with 2 volunteers.
of small nonprofits still use spreadsheets for HR
is what most nonprofits budget for HR software
setup time should be your promise to get them started
Separate timesheets for paid staff and volunteers, with different approval flows and reporting. Most tools don’t distinguish between them.

Prevents liability
Auto-generate from employee data. Useful for board reports, grant applications, and new hire onboarding.No Visio required.
Grant reporting gold
Customizable onboarding tasks with status tracking. Assign to HR, manager, or the new hire themselves. Never forget the I-9 again.

Documentation that matters
