Management and employee related issues can be weighty.
Who is lightening your load?

ALPHA HC CONSULTING provides advisory and consulting services to Founders, Presidents, CIOs and C-suite leaders including CHROs of select hedge funds, family offices and private equity firms.  We learn about your organization through face-to-face meetings with key parties at your firm while maintaining efficiency and not disrupting work flow. We take the time to understand the dynamics of your organization and provide solutions that take into account the nuances and intricacies of your environment and the personalities that make it unique.  

Founders, CIOs, CEOs and Senior Leaders of Select Hedge Funds, Private Equity Funds and Family Offices

In funds and family offices where the responsibility of dealing with the challenges of growth, management and employees can't be handed off to a human resources expert simply because you don't have one, where does it fall?  It should fall into the hands of someone with the expertise to guide you skillfully in identifying solutions; guiding you in productively addressing the issues at hand or simply acting as a truly objective and honest sounding board for your ideas.

Our advisory services can help you manage your firm more productively, proactively and successfully.  Our consulting services can build structure, processes and programs to support you as you grow.  You may not need a full time in-house seasoned professional at the present time but it doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to avail yourself of that expertise when you do need it.  ALPHA HC is there for you for that purpose.

Human Resource Leaders

For heads of human resources there is a constant struggle to accomplish those projects, programs and processes that go beyond the accomplishment of completing the myriad of day to day tasks.  Those tasks begin when you walk in the door but don't seem to end when you walk out the door at night. Sometimes what you need is expertise you don't currently have, someone to stand up and train your managers, or provide advice and guidance to work through something you haven't experienced before.  While we offer advisory services which you may be able to take advantage of, our consulting services will most likely be more beneficial and impactful to what you can provide as the HR leader for your firm.  Whatever we do is done with a keen sense of what will work in your firm and in partnership with you, typically with us behind the scenes.  Our goal is to provide you qualitative products that enhance what your current capacity can accomplish.
