Ollie & AssociatesHR, Operations & Supply Chain Experts

Roanoke, Virginia · Available nationwide

Expert HR, operations, and supply chain guidance, without the corporate overhead.

Ollie & Associates helps growing small and mid-sized businesses and nonprofits stay compliant, run leaner, and build supplier relationships that hold up under pressure.

What we do

Three practice areas. One team that already knows how they fit together.

Most firms specialize in one of these. We've found that HR problems usually have an operations root, and operations problems usually trace back to a vendor. So we work across all three.

01

Human Resources

From handbooks and job descriptions to compliance audits and difficult conversations. We can advise your team, or we can be your HR department.

  • Recruiting, hiring, and onboarding
  • Federal, state, and local compliance
  • Employee relations and conflict resolution
  • Handbook and policy review

02

Business Operations

We map how work actually flows through your business, find where money leaks out, and build processes your team will keep using.

  • Process mapping and efficiency reviews
  • Business plans and growth milestones
  • Forecasting and reporting
Operations consulting
03

Supply Chain

Right items, right place, right time. Vendor research, contract negotiation, and inventory discipline from someone who spent 25 years doing it.

  • Vendor selection and contract negotiation
  • Inventory management and forecasting
  • Supplier performance programs
Supply chain services
04

Fractional leadership

An interim Chief Operating Officer or Chief Sourcing Officer for up to a year. Bridge a departure, lead a culture reset, or bring executive-level discipline without an executive-level payroll line.

Why a dog's name is on the door

Named after a Golden Retriever, and we mean it.

Ollie has watched over our family, protected us from danger, and mentored younger pups. Those are the standards we hold ourselves to with every client.

    Loyalty

    Protection

    We go headfirst into tough situations to shield your business from risk.

  • I

    Intelligence

    We understand the language of business and adapt quickly.

  • M

    Mentorship

    We don't just deliver solutions. We teach, guide, and help your team grow stronger.

  • R

    Reliability

    Midnight or midday, you can count on us to be there.

How an engagement works

Short, scoped projects with a firm finish line.

We'd rather solve the problem and hand it back to you than bill forever. Every engagement starts with a clear scope and ends with something your team owns.

  1. Listen first

    A no-cost conversation about what's slowing you down. We'll tell you honestly if it's something we can help with.

  2. Scope and fix

    A written plan with deliverables and a timeline. Then we do the work alongside your people, not in a back room.

  3. Hand it back

    Documentation, training, and a check-in schedule so the improvement sticks after we leave.

"I worked with the folks at Ollie & Associates to review my company handbook and help with position descriptions. They improved what I had and let me know about blind spots so I could better protect myself and my employees. They were effective, easy and pleasant to work with. Plus, who doesn't like a company named after a Golden Retriever?"
