Client Reviews
"Zack created a process and provided forms for my growing start-up to be better organized and protected with respect to hiring outside vendors and contractors to provide services for us. He explained what to look for in RFP responses, and advised us on best paths forward. We were very spoiled when we had Zack help us out and cannot recommend him enough."
"Zack took the time to explain to me what to expect after I was notified that I was being let go, and gave me great advice on how to approach the severance offer I received. He was patient with me and answered all of my questions. I will definitely look to Zack for my other employment questions."
