That's the whole idea behind how we work. We'll take the time to understand what you're up against, then give you an honest picture of what's working, what isn't, and what it will take to fix, even when the honest answer is that you don't need us yet. B Veritas Consulting is a veteran-owned small business. The owners lead every engagement, with a small bench of trusted specialists who share the same care for doing right by the people we serve.

Audra brings nine years in HR, most of it spent building the function from the ground up rather than maintaining one, and a deep belief that people deserve workplaces that take care of them. At Textile Exchange she helped scale HR operations from 30 to more than 150 employees across 20-plus countries, stood up an employer-of-record model, and launched the organization's first HRIS. She holds a master's in HR management and a paralegal certificate, and her perspective shapes how B Veritas approaches people work: carefully, fairly, and with the employee experience in mind.

Zach leads B Veritas and every engagement, from IT infrastructure and security to the data systems and HubSpot builds that give teams their time back. Fifteen years in IT, the first ten of them serving in the U.S. Navy, administering networks and communications systems. Since then he has run Microsoft 365, Entra ID and endpoint security (CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, JAMF, JumpCloud) for two globally distributed nonprofits, including the Power Automate workflows that cut their onboarding time by 60%. Most recently he designed and built the data model and automated pipeline behind a nonprofit certification program, so the people in the field could stop retyping spreadsheets and get back to their mission.

No proposal until we do. **Fixed scope, known cost.** You'll know what an engagement covers and what it costs before it starts. No surprises. **Build it so you own it.** We hand over the documentation and the know-how, not hold it hostage. If we do our job well, you'll need us less over time. **Tell you the truth, kindly.** If something isn't working, even a vendor you like, we'll say so, and help you find a better path. **Who we work with.** Small to mid-sized nonprofits and mission-minded businesses at that stage where the improvised HR, IT and data have stopped holding, but a full department for each isn't justified yet.
