Human Resources & Payroll Consulting
Human resources (HR) and payroll departments are jointly responsible for delivering accurate, compliant, and employee-centered human capital services. From talent acquisition and onboarding to workforce administration, policy governance, payroll accuracy, tax compliance, and timely pay delivery, the way these services are designed and delivered has a direct impact on employee experience, operational efficiency, and organizational risk.
Baker Tilly’s HR and payroll consulting helps organizations evaluate, design and optimize how HR and payroll services are delivered. Changes in business strategy, workforce structure, regulatory requirements, processes or technology often require organizations to reassess their HR, payroll, and talent acquisition operating models.
Our professionals provide project-based advisory services across core HR capabilities — including compliance, policy development, workforce administration, compensation benchmarking and administration, talent acquisition strategy and recruiting process design, and HR process optimization — as well as payroll operations, controls, compliance, reporting, vendor strategy and payroll process optimization.
We help organizations align people, processes and technology across the employee lifecycle, improve collaboration between HR and payroll, reduce risk and establish scalable service models that support long-term organizational success.
