Built by an HR consultant who got fed up with spreadsheets

Practice Hub exists because the tools available to independent HR consultants were never actually built for independent HR consultants.

The founder story

I have been working as an independent HR consultant for years. Disciplinaries, grievances, investigations, TUPE, redundancy, settlement agreements, the full spectrum of employment relations work delivered to clients who trust me to get it right.

And for years I ran my practice the way most independent consultants do. A spreadsheet for clients. A folder for documents. An email thread for cases. A notes app for everything else. A billing process that involved more manual effort than it should have. A system held together with good intentions and a lot of open tabs.

It worked. Until it didn't. Until a client asked for something I had sent six months ago and I spent forty minutes finding it. Until I realised I had forgotten to invoice for three hours of work because I had not logged it at the time. Until I looked at my practice from the outside and thought this does not look like the professional operation I am actually running.

I looked for a practice management system. There were plenty of options. Generic CRMs, project management tools, legal case management software. None of them were built for an HR consultant. All of them required hours of setup and customisation just to get close to what I needed. Most of them still did not quite fit.

So I built Practice Hub.

What makes it different

Practice Hub is not a generic tool adapted for HR. Every feature, every workflow, every decision about how the system works was made by someone who has done the job. Someone who understands that a disciplinary is not the same as a project, that a client relationship in HR consultancy is different from a sales pipeline and that billing in six minute increments is not a quirk but a professional standard.

It is the system I wished existed when I was setting up my practice. Built for the way HR consultants actually work and nobody else.

AI built into the work, not bolted on

When I was thinking about what Practice Hub needed to be, AI was not an optional extra. It was central to the point.

The AI in Practice Hub sits inside the workflows where it actually saves time. It reads your real case data to summarise where things stand. It suggests tasks based on what the case actually involves. It drafts your case notes, your client emails, your newsletter content and your proposal cover messages so the writing is done before you have had to think too hard about it.

You set your tone of voice once. You tell the system about your business. After that it produces output that sounds like you, not like a machine.

AI features are available on Standard and Team plans.
