About Dave Foster
I work with small business owners and operators who are tired of HR being a distraction and want it to actually support their business.Most of my clients are operators, contractors, and growing companies who didn’t start their business to manage paperwork, compliance, and employee issues — but that’s where too much of their time ends up. My job is to take that burden off their plate and give them clear, practical guidance.As Co-Founder of IndeHR, I provide HR support that helps businesses protect what they’ve built, develop their leaders, and grow with confidence.With an MBA, SHRM-CP, CSCP, and 15+ years in business development, I combine business acumen with real-world HR execution. I also work closely with payroll, benefits, and finance partners to ensure clients have a coordinated support team.If you’re looking for HR that makes your life easier — not more complicated — let’s connect.
