Testimonials
Opera Omaha engaged All Points Advising/April Hartman to oversee our HR processes, including handbook updates, annual reviews, onboarding new employees, and implementing best practices. From the beginning, April took the time to understand our singular needs and challenges and provided the support we needed to take the next step forward with professionalized HR. April is approachable, knowledgeable, and stays current in her field. She spends time onsite and is easily reached when she is not in the office. Since engaging April, our HR is streamlined and employees are satisfied with the services she provides. I recommend All Points Advising unreservedly.
“I’ve been working with April and All Points Advising since 2017, and she has been an absolute blessing for my business! April not only helped me personally, but put me in contact with professionals I needed if it was something she was unable to support. This was most helpful as I was new to Omaha when I started working with her. I did not have the contacts in Omaha that I had in Hastings where my business was previously located.
April has brought several things to light that I’ve needed to implement in my business. Her suggestions have absolutely helped my business grow. April is professional and efficient and her experience and expertise have been invaluable. What a gem her business is to a small business owner. I didn’t see how I could use her abilities . . . until I tried. If you are considering help in your small business, give April and All Points Advising a try. It will be a great investment!”
All Points Advising brings process and a war chest of resources. I have always had a haphazard way of recruiting and on-boarding people. This is about to change for the better. I am feeling more confident already.
My website needed an overhaul and was at the top of my priority list, but I didn’t have time to deal with it. April facilitated the project and the result was a big asset to my business. I hired two new employees who, when they saw my ad for employment, looked at my website and decided they wanted to be a part of Stormberg Construction. A potential new business partner loved the site as well and wants to work with us. Several months after the website was up I still hadn’t managed the time to get the business marketing materials updated. I hired April to spearhead that project and now my vehicles, business cards and yard signs are up to date as well.
All Points Advising, LLC helped me turn my idea of having my own business into a reality. With no business background I was pretty clueless as to what steps needed to be taken to make it official. April guided me through all the government requirements and advised me on setting up a website and bank accounts. I would have been lost with out her help. To date she continues to help me with new ideas and implementation.
As a practitioner AND a business owner, it is a challenge to do both jobs effectively. The practitioner part is the most important in principle and in income, so, the business part often takes a back seat. I’ve done the best I could wearing both hats, and at times, have failed miserably. Last year was one of those times and miraculously, that is when April showed up in my life. She came in and took over the little but big things, like an employee manual, HIPAA training, HR fundamentals and property management tasks. She set us up in a way that enabled us to really flourish this year and I will be forever grateful for her knowledge, wisdom and task-oriented commitment to our business. Let her help you! You’ll be glad you did!
Bringing in All Points Advising is the best decision I made for my business. As a successful professional with a growing practice I needed the business systems to keep pace, but time spent doing business tasks does not generate revenue. The best use of my time is to spend it seeing clients. In my first discussion with Ms. Hartman she grasped immediately what I needed and how to put business systems in place to meet the financial, legal and regulatory issues in my profession. She quickly understood the market I was selling to, the client base I was developing and the direction I wanted to go with my practice.
Then Ms. Hartman made it happen. She kept me fully informed throughout the process and when there was a decision point she presented well-developed options for me, not endless questions about details. Her level of professionalism, service and problem-solving ability is better than any consultant I have ever met for my profession. Best of all Ms. Hartman takes a personal interest in ensuring that how she organizes the business part of my practice maximizes the time I spend doing what I love and trained for – working with my clients.
My investment with All Points Advising paid for itself financially and operationally before the work was even finished!
All Points Advising has assisted me in progressing my business forward, achieving my desired goals, and align my business with the vision that I have for it. April is available for questions, has a wonderful way of thinking about problems, and makes it feel like it is easy to make necessary changes. I would wholeheartedly recommend All Points Advising.
“All Points Advising is an exceptional company, that impressed us from the very beginning. April Hartman is professional, informative, and fun to work with. There was never a dull moment and yet everything was accomplished in a timely manner with great attention to detail. We look forward to working with her in the future.”
