Great CFO firm to work with. Worked with them for years and they were incredibly helpful. Fair pricing and their team was great on digging into the details of our business. They mainly helped us with bookkeeping but were great at recording things properly for us and taking feedback when changes need to be made. Highly recommend working with this team.

We engaged Proven Consulting for fractional HR support at SilverStay, and it was one of the better vendor decisions we've made. Our consultant, Nancy, operated like a true member of our leadership team: she built our employee handbook from scratch, turned around a polished executive offer letter in hours, stood up a structured onboarding program, and took full ownership of our payroll and bonus administration. Just as valuable was her judgment — on sensitive performance and compliance matters, she consistently protected us while keeping things practical and fair. The Proven operations team (shoutout to Ashlee) was responsive, flexible, and easy to work with from kickoff through transition. If you're a growing company that needs senior HR expertise without a full-time hire, I'd recommend Proven without hesitation.

Thank you, Patrick. Nancy and Ashlee will be thrilled to hear this. We're grateful for the opportunity to support SilverStay!
