What we offer
Three things we do for growing companies

What we offer

01
Fractional Chief People Officer
Your people leader, without the full-time hire
Finesse joins your leadership team as Chief People Officer on an ongoing basis. She reports to the chief executive, leads the people function, and gives the board a one-page view of the people plan every month. You get the seniority of a full-time CPO at a scope that fits the company.
- For companies that have outgrown their HR manager
- Reports to the chief executive, visible to the board
- Scope agreed after the first conversation
What the fractional CPO includes

02
Defined projects
One people problem, solved start to finish
When you have a specific problem, Finesse takes it on as a project with a clear scope and a clear end. The six projects: post-acquisition integration, compensation architecture, organization design, leadership assessment and succession, HR technology selection, and a leadership offsite.
- Fixed scope and fixed fee, no retainer needed
- Four to twelve weeks, depending on the project
- Works alone or alongside the fractional CPO

03
AI strategy for the people function
A plan for AI in HR, then the automations that run it
Finesse maps where AI can do real work in your people function and where it should not, then builds the automations: workforce planning that updates itself, succession that stays current, career paths, onboarding, and integration tracking. Everything runs inside the systems you already own.
- Five automations, first built by Finesse in the CPO seat
- Your employee data never leaves your systems
- A person approves anything before it reaches an employee or the board

For chief executives and founders
You get a peer who takes the people agenda off your desk, tells you what she sees and owns the follow-through. The first conversation is about the decision in front of you.
For investors and operating partners
You get an independent read on the people side of the plan from a leader who has worked at board level under institutional ownership. The 30-day Diagnostic is a first step on a portfolio company.
