CloseHR

Ann Close leads this Cary-based HR consulting firm, stepping in as a fractional Chief People Officer for small to mid-sized businesses, executives, and entrepreneurs across the Research Triangle area and beyond. Clients get executive-level HR guidance on a fractional, onsite, or as-needed basis rather than committing to a full-time hire.

Services cover HR consulting and advising, hiring and onboarding, HR training, and federal and state compliance issues. The firm develops HR Game Plan strategies and supports implementation of the EOS® People Component™, delivering both virtual and onsite people management support to clients who need direct HR leadership without building an internal department.
