I help service-based business owners who don’t have an in-house HR team bring order, consistency, and compliance to how they hire, pay, and lead their people.
You’ve worked hard to grow your business, but now you’re juggling employees, payroll, and paperwork, and constantly wondering if you’re “doing it right.” That’s where I come in.
Through Business Coach Bestie, I act as your HR department of one, providing hands-on support with payroll, recruiting, onboarding, training, and compliance, while keeping things simple and personal. You can focus on what you actually started your business for: serving clients, growing revenue, and leading your team with confidence.
With an MBA in Business Administration and over five years of hands-on HR experience, I bring both strategy and practical know-how to help you build a stronger foundation. Together, we’ll create a workplace that runs smoothly, ethically, and built to last.
Yes. “Having Maria as my HR partner feels like having a full department, without the huge cost. She handles recruiting, new hires, I-9s, payroll & employee questions every month. I finally have someone I can trust to keep my business safe and running smoothly.”—
Antonio Rojas

I started out just helping my dad with his business, but once we started hiring more people, I realized we were way over our heads. Having Maria has been such a relief. She takes care of payroll, and keeps us updated on labor laws so we don’t mess anything up. When we have questions about employee issues that arise, she answers all my questions same day. Maria doesn’t just do paperwork, she explains everything so we actually understand what’s going on. I love working with her!” — Gabriela Torre

“Our employees actually take us seriously now. Maria created our handbook, onboarding system, and helped me understand labor rules. Everything runs smoother and feels more professional. Clients notice the difference too.”
Marisol Gomez

“¡María me ayudó a organizar toda la nómina y los papeles de mis empleados! Ahora todo está correcto y no tengo miedo de inspecciones. Habla mi idioma y entiende cómo trabajamos los pequeños negocios.” — Ana Morales
