HR consulting for Missoula small businesses.
Missoula blends a major university, regional healthcare, manufacturing, retail, and a deep nonprofit and creative sector. Mountain HR Consulting supports Missoula small businesses remotely, with practical HR help sized to your team.
Remote HR support for Missoula employers.
Missoula is western Montana's hub for education, healthcare, and services, with a business community that runs from clinics and professional firms to manufacturers, retailers, restaurants, and a large nonprofit sector. Many are small, mission-driven, and stretched thin on the administrative side, which is where HR tends to slip.
Mountain HR Consulting partners with Missoula businesses remotely from our Kalispell base, about two and a half hours away. Most of the work happens by video and phone. We provide services remotely, so we can work with you no matter where you are.

See what fractional HR can save you.

A note on scope.
Mountain HR covers a lot for Missoula employers, and leaves a few things to specialists. Here is the line.
-
Not offered
Payroll processing
Mountain HR does not run payroll, file payroll taxes, or administer payroll systems. We partner with employers who already have a payroll provider (or can recommend one).
-
Not offered
Benefits administration
We can advise on benefits design, but we don't enroll employees, manage claims, or act as a broker. For active brokerage, we refer to trusted partners.
-
Not offered
Employment law representation
We provide compliance guidance, not legal advice. For litigation, charges, or formal legal opinions, we coordinate with your attorney.
Need payroll handled? We can recommend a Montana payroll provider that fits your size and sector.
From small nonprofits to established Missoula firms.
Missoula blends small mission-driven organizations with established firms, and we support both remotely. We help with a first hire, a growing team, and the steady HR needs of a larger employer that does not want a full department.
Our work spans healthcare, professional services, manufacturing, retail, and a deep non-profit sector. With experience from tiny teams to much larger organizations, our guidance fits a Missoula business of any size.
