Testimonials

Public testimonials, while easy to obtain, in some cases are not able to include the name of the client due to the client's compliance officer's advice. If you have any questions, please give me a call to see if I'm able to privately share the name of the referral, which I am able to do in many cases.

“Alternatives TLC, LLC provided our startup with a comprehensive Small Business Roadmap review across operations, legal, accounting, HR, security, technology, sales & marketing, and compliance. Through brief interviews with the co-founders, Carol accurately categorized our status into areas of strength, areas needing improvement, and areas where we were overlooking nascent risks that could lead to major disruptions. This redirected our short-term plans and helped us better prepare for the future. The service greatly exceeded our expected return on investment. Without this review, we might have doubled down on a risky path without solid backup plans.”

Alisson Sol (5-Star Google Review)

I highly recommend Carol to any business owner looking for help with HR compliance and employee documentation. She assisted me with reviewing and organizing my Form I-9 records and made what felt like an overwhelming task much more manageable.

She was patient, thorough, and incredibly detail-oriented, taking the time to explain everything clearly and ensure I was fully compliant. Her expertise and professionalism gave me tremendous peace of mind, and I'm grateful for her support."

Lisa Harris (5-Star Google Review)

"If you have employees, I highly recommend that you make time to take this excellent course. This is truly an example of 'you don't know what you don't know.' I have always done I-9s for my employees, thought everything was done correctly, only to discover that wasn't the case when I took Carol's course. She helped me, step by step, correct the errors in a way that are compliant and meet ICE requirements. Carol is a wealth of information! Taking this course will help you sleep better at night!"

Carol is in her eleventh (11th) year of consulting to our family-owned business. She initially helped us with HR, but her projects grew to include, as examples:

helping us obtain organic certification,
compliance,
inventorying our business equipment for insurance planning,
setting up a training center,
formalizing and heading up our HR department, which has more than doubled since she started with us
obtaining PPP for us during COVID and even
grant writing, securing us a $4.2 million award for expansion from the USDA – her very first grant effort.

Whatever Carol tackles, she succeeds at doing it with professionalism, researching and implementing standards that are customized to our operation. I confidently recommend Carol to any type of family-owned business.

I learned what it takes. I learned there’s a lot to doing it. We were able to identify areas that were beyond my skillset and were excellent candidates for ATLC to manage... Organizational and business management – it’s about getting serious. This process will force a real commitment, one way or the other.
