From fractional HR leadership to PEO transitions and security workforce compliance, every engagement is designed to strengthen your HR infrastructure and reduce workforce risk as you grow.

Best for:
Organizations without a senior HR leader, or between HR leaders

Three ways to work together
Every engagement is led directly by Amanda Rodriguez, Founder & Principal Consultant.
Fractional HR Partnership
Monthly retainer. Ongoing executive leadership, compliance, employee relations and risk oversight. Our most comprehensive engagement.
Defined Projects
Fixed fee. Audits, HRIS implementations, handbook overhauls and PEO exits with a defined scope and deliverables.
Advisory Engagements
Hourly. Workplace investigations, security workforce compliance audits and executive coaching.
Many clients begin with a defined project, such as an audit, and continue with a fractional partnership.
Clear about what we do, and what we don't
AVI provides HR compliance, risk mitigation and advisory services. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice or legal representation. When a matter requires legal counsel, we work alongside your employment attorney. We also do not operate as a guard staffing agency; our focus is the HR frameworks, licensing protocols and hiring systems behind your workforce.
Frequently asked questions
What is fractional HR leadership?
It's senior HR leadership on a part-time, ongoing basis. You get the strategic guidance and oversight of an experienced HR executive for a predictable monthly investment, without a full-time executive salary.
What size organizations do you work with?
Typically organizations of 15 to 1,500+ employees, from companies building their first HR structure to established multi-state employers.
Do you only work with companies in Florida?
No. We're based in the Miami metropolitan area and support organizations remotely or in a hybrid model across 30+ state jurisdictions.
Are you a law firm?
No. We provide HR compliance, risk mitigation and advisory services, not legal advice or representation. When legal counsel is needed, we coordinate with your employment attorney.
How does a PEO transition work?
It begins with an assessment of your current PEO arrangement, costs and requirements. From there we model benefit options, select systems, migrate policies and lead the HRIS rollout. Timelines depend on headcount, states and benefit renewal dates; we set them during scoping.
Which HR and payroll platforms do you work with?
Our principal has hands-on experience with Paycom, ADP, Paylocity, BambooHR, Paycor, QuickBooks, ViewPoint, Restaurant365, Toast and Employee Navigator. Platform recommendations are based on your organization’s needs, not vendor relationships.
Do you provide security guards or staffing?
No. We help security and high-risk employers build compliant licensing, screening and hiring frameworks, but we do not supply personnel.
Will you replace our existing HR staff?
Not necessarily. Many engagements provide senior leadership and structure above an existing HR or office team, so they can work more effectively.
How is pricing structured?
Through monthly retainers, fixed-fee projects or hourly advisory engagements. We recommend a model and provide a proposal after the strategy session.
What happens in the complimentary strategy session?
A focused 60-minute conversation about your organization, current HR structure and primary challenge. You'll leave with an initial perspective on risks and next steps. There's no obligation.
Not sure where to start?
Tell us about your organization. We'll help you identify the right first step, whether that's an audit, a project or an ongoing partnership.
