You built the business. Let’s build a team that helps it soar.

Louisville-Based HR Partner for Small Businesses

Amy Simpson of Soar Consulting provides practical, personalized HR support for small businesses, nonprofits and hospitality organizations in Louisville, Kentucky and beyond. From ongoing fractional HR support to compliance, leadership development and executive coaching, we become the trusted partner you can turn to when people challenges arise.

HR Support When You Need It Without a Full-Time HR Department

Small businesses don't always need—or have the budget for—a full-time HR professional. They do need someone they trust to call when they have questions, compliance concerns, employee challenges or a growing team.

Soar Consulting provides flexible HR expertise based on what your business actually needs, whether that's ongoing fractional HR support, help with a specific project, leadership development or guidance through a difficult employee situation.

Fractional HR

Flexible, ongoing HR support tailored to your organization—from payroll and employee relations to recruiting, onboarding and training.

HR Consulting for Restaurants & Hospitality Businesses

Your team shapes every guest experience. Behind the scenes, you’re also managing hiring, onboarding, payroll, employee concerns, compliance and the demands of a fast-moving workplace.

Soar works alongside restaurant and hospitality owners to strengthen their HR foundations, develop leaders and build a team culture that supports the experience they want to create.

A Partner Who Learns Your Business First

A solution only works if it fits the business using it. Amy begins by understanding how your organization operates, what makes it distinct and where your team needs support. From there, she helps you take the next practical step.

After 15 years in corporate HR, Amy founded Soar Consulting to bring that experience to the small businesses and nonprofits in her community. Her goal is to be the trusted partner you can turn to before a people challenge becomes a bigger problem.
