Getting outsourced HR services and bookkeeping support for your small business should be simple, clear, and stress-free — not complicated or time-consuming.
At HR & B Hive, we’ve built a streamlined process to help small businesses implement HR support, payroll coordination, bookkeeping services, and compliance solutions with ease. Our goal is to understand your needs, build the right plan, and keep your business running smoothly behind the scenes.
Here’s exactly how it works.
Step 1: Contact Us
Start by reaching out through our Contact Page.
This is the first step toward getting HR and bookkeeping support for your small business. Whether you need ongoing services, a one-time project, or a customized solution, this lets us know how we can help.
Step 2: Complete a Service Selection Form
After you contact us, we send a service selection form designed to build your ideal support plan.
This form allows you to choose from:
Pre-built HR and bookkeeping service packages
À la carte services across HR, administrative support, benefits administration, payroll coordination, and bookkeeping
Or a combination of both, depending on your business needs
You’ll also provide details such as:
Number of employees
Type of services needed
Preferred contract length (month-to-month, long-term, or one-time)
This step helps us understand where your business is today so we can create a customized outsourced HR and bookkeeping solution that fits your hive.
Step 3: Discovery Call & Needs Assessment
Next, we schedule a follow-up call to better understand your business, operations, and goals.
During this call, we review your:
HR processes and employee management needs
Payroll coordination and workflows
Bookkeeping and financial organization
Compliance support needs and documentation
Administrative support needs
This allows us to recommend the right level of support based on your business, goals, and day-to-day operations.
Step 4: Pre-Onboarding Audit (HR & Bookkeeping Review)
Before implementation begins, HR & B Hive conducts a Pre-Onboarding Audit of your current systems and processes.
This audit is designed to evaluate your existing:
HR processes and employee documentation
Payroll setup and workflows
Bookkeeping systems and financial organization
Compliance practices and recordkeeping
Administrative processes and operational efficiency
Our goal is to identify gaps, risks, and areas for improvement before services begin.
This helps create a cleaner, more organized foundation before ongoing support begins, making the transition smoother for your business.
Step 5: Receive Your Customized Quote
After reviewing your information, HR & B Hive prepares a customized HR and bookkeeping services quote.
Your quote is based on:
Selected services (packages, Ã la carte, or hybrid)
Business size and number of employees
Level of support required
Preferred contract structure
Our goal is to provide support that fits your business without unnecessary complexity or added stress.
Step 6: Review and Finalize Your Service Agreement
Once you approve your quote, we provide your service agreement outlining:
Scope of HR, payroll, bookkeeping, and administrative services
Pricing and service structure
Roles and responsibilities
Terms, including the 30-day notice requirement for service changes or cancellations
We keep everything clear and transparent so you know exactly what support your business will receive.
Step 7: We Implement & Support Your Business
Once everything is finalized, HR & B Hive begins supporting your business.
We support your HR, payroll coordination, bookkeeping, compliance-related needs, and administrative tasks behind the scenes so you can focus on running and growing your business.
From daily operations to long-term organization, we help keep your business organized, supported, and built for growth — just like a strong hive.

Simple – easy to follow from start to finish
Flexible – built around your business needs
Scalable – grows with your business
Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, we create a system that works specifically for your hive.
