Our Story
In the heart of our journey lies a vision for change – a vision that sparked the creation of Amanda & Amber Business Consulting, a forward-thinking HR consulting firm dedicated to redefining industry norms & championing a new era of human resources.
Our founders, Shilo & Destree, shared a passion for simplifying complex HR challenges. After years of navigating corporate landscapes, they recognized a critical need for simpler, more effective solutions. Fueled by this insight and a shared commitment to values over profit margins, they took a leap of faith to establish a consultancy that prioritizes employee well-being and social impact above all else. And since they knew their unique first names are difficult to pronounce, they named the firm “Amanda and Amber” (a combination of their middle names) and often go by the shorter nickname “A&A”.
Our Approach
At Amanda & Amber, we embody a philosophy that transcends transactional relationships. We believe in truly immersing ourselves to become integral partners with the organizations we serve. Our approach is strategic, tailored, and deeply collaborative. We listen, understand, and co-create solutions that align with our clients unique visions and aspirations.
One of our guiding principles is accessibility. We firmly believe that every business, regardless of size or budget, deserves expert HR support. That’s why we keep our rates affordable & offer flexible payment options, ensuring that even the smallest of businesses & charities can benefit from our services without compromise.
But our mission goes beyond affordability. We’re here to challenge stereotypes & break molds. We reject the notion that HR is dull, or limited to recruitment & payroll. Instead, we see HR as a dynamic force for positive change – encompassing holistic well-being, diversity & inclusion, ethical practices and continuous learning. We believe that when HR is done right, organizations excel.
Join us on this transformative journey. Let’s defy expectations, elevate industry standards, and together, build workplaces where people thrive & organizations flourish. At Amanda & Amber, we’re not just consultants; we’re catalysts for a brighter future in HR. Together we’ll rewrite the narrative – one meaningful partnership at a time.

Our Process
Identify Your Needs
You're already here! That likely means you've already identified a pain point (or several!) and you're looking for information about solutions. Or maybe you found your way here because you're looking for support scaling up, scaling down, or tackling a large project. Either way - you've already completed step one.
Complete an HR Assessment
In most cases, the next step after our initial call would be booking a basic HR assessment related to the concerns we've identified during the call. For more information about assessments, check out the links below:

This step is easy - book a free, no-obligation call with us to discuss your needs. We can go through some details with you and give you some options of how we can help you. These calls are a quick 15-30 minutes.

Implement the Changes
After you receive the report from us based on your assessment, you have two choices. You can use the data in the report to work on implementing the changes yourself, or you can choose to engage our services to work with you on some or all of the points identified.
