You didn’t start this business to manage HR problems.

But here you are fielding employee complaints, decoding California labor law, and wondering if your termination process is about to cost you more than a full-time hire.

Maybe a manager is underperforming and you don’t know how to handle it. Maybe someone just threatened legal action. Maybe you’re about to hire your 15th employee and you know the “figure it out as you go” approach has a hard expiration date.

That is exactly when CEOs call us.

What We Do

Avina Consulting serves as your outsourced HR department. We step in as your strategic HR partner on a retained basis, giving you consistent, experienced guidance across every people decision your business faces.

We work with companies between 10 and 100 employees, primarily across Orange County and Southern California, in industries including healthcare, nonprofits, professional services, dental and medical practices, and growing service businesses.

The Three Problems We Solve

1. California compliance is keeping you up at night.

One wrong termination, one missed meal break policy, one missing I-9 can cost you more than a year of HR support. We conduct audits, update your policies, and keep you protected so you can stop operating in fear.

2. Your managers aren’t actually leading.

You promoted your best people into management and now they’re struggling. We coach your leadership team through real situations and build the systems they need to run their departments without coming to you every time.

3. Your people infrastructure doesn’t exist yet.

No handbook. No onboarding process. No performance review structure. Nothing that would survive a fast growth year or a Department of Labor audit. We build it from the ground up.
