Elevate your HR Game with HR Prose
"Finally, HR that doesn't slow us down"
Most HR services are reactive and compliance-focused. Accounting Prose takes a completely different approach—they anticipate issues before they become problems and build systems that actually scale with our growth. From employee handbooks to performance review frameworks, everything they create is tailored to startups like ours. They speak our language and move at our pace.

Co-Founder, Datapulse
"HR expertise without the enterprise overhead"
We couldn't afford a full-time HR director, but we couldn't afford NOT to have professional HR support either. Accounting Prose gave us the best of both worlds—strategic HR guidance when we need it, operational support that's always there, and none of the bureaucracy. They helped us go from 12 to 35 employees without a single compliance mishap or cultural misstep.
Marcus Rodrigues
CEO, Vertix
"Proactive HR that prevents fires instead of fighting them"
In three years working with Accounting Prose, we've never had an HR emergency. That's not luck—it's their systematic approach. They audit our policies quarterly, update our handbook as laws change, and train our managers before issues arise. It's the difference between strategic HR and scrambling to fix problems after they happen.
Founder, Brightpath
"They treat HR like a growth function, not a cost center"
Accounting Prose doesn't just keep us compliant—they help us compete for talent. Their compensation frameworks are data-driven, their onboarding processes create consistency, and their performance management systems actually improve our team. This is HR as a competitive advantage, not just a checkbox exercise.
Founder, Cascade Robotics
"They turned our biggest liability into our strongest asset"
Before Accounting Prose, our HR was a mess of Google Docs and verbal agreements. Now we have proper employment agreements, clear compensation bands, documented processes, and a culture that people actually want to join. They didn't just clean up our compliance issues—they helped us build an employee experience that became a recruiting advantage.
Owner, Radius
"Finally, someone who can explain HR in plain English"
No jargon, no runaround, no vague answers. When we ask Accounting Prose an HR question, we get a clear explanation of what we need to do, why it matters, and what the risks are if we don't. They've saved us from countless expensive mistakes and helped us make better decisions about everything from equity grants to remote work policies.
Co-Founder, Ember
"HR infrastructure that scales at startup speed"
We went from 8 people to 42 in eighteen months. Our HR systems kept pace because Accounting Prose built them to scale from day one. Employee handbook? Done. Benefits administration? Seamless. Compliance across three states? Handled. They're always two steps ahead, which means we never have to slow down our hiring to fix HR problems.
COO, Velocity
"The HR partner that makes us look professional"
As a founder, I used to dread HR questions from candidates and employees. Now I'm confident in our answers because Accounting Prose has built the foundation. Our offer letters are comprehensive, our onboarding is smooth, our policies are clear. We compete with companies twice our size for talent because our HR experience doesn't feel like a startup afterthought.
