Who we help in Des Moines

Small businesses in Des Moines that need real HR support.

We work with insurance and financial services firms, agtech companies, logistics businesses, and manufacturers in Des Moines and across Iowa. If you have 10–75 employees and HR keeps landing on the founder, that’s exactly who we built Bevel HR for.

HR lands on the founder

Every employee question, every offer letter, every HR issue comes straight to the top. In Des Moines's powerful insurance and financial services base alongside a growing agtech and logistics sector, that’s time you can’t afford to lose.

Hiring fast without a system

You’re growing but onboarding is improvised. New people start and figure it out on their own, which shows up in retention six months later.

Compliance gaps piling up

Iowa has specific final wage payment and at-will employment rules. Most Des Moines founders don’t know their exposure until something goes wrong. An HR Audit fixes that in two weeks.

A full-time hire doesn’t pencil out

A full-time HR manager costs $70,000–$90,000/year fully loaded. At 10–50 employees you don’t need 40 hours a week of HR. Fractional HR gives you the expertise at the volume you actually need.
