Better processes. Practical automation. Ongoing operational support.

I help solo and small law firms, and other professional-service businesses, fix inefficient operations: less retyping, fewer dropped follow-ups, and workflows the whole team can follow. Based in the Knoxville Metro Area, serving clients remotely nationwide.

Does this sound familiar?

• Client and matter details retyped from one system into another.

• Follow-ups and deadlines tracked in someone's head, or not at all.

• Onboarding and procedures change depending on who does them.

• The owner is the only one who knows how everything works.

• Reports and visibility require manual assembly every single time.

Services

One connected offer, scoped to what you actually need.

Business Process Improvement

I map how work actually gets done, find the bottlenecks, and redesign workflows for clarity and consistency. You get process maps, redesigned workflows, and standard operating procedures your team will actually use.

Workflow Automation and Appropriate AI Support

Where repetitive work genuinely warrants it, I automate with proven no-code platforms and apply AI support where it fits. Technology serves the process. I prioritize established platforms and practical configurations, with clear documentation and handoff training. Any monitoring, maintenance, or ongoing support requirements are identified upfront.

Fractional Operations Support

Part-time, continuing help without a full-time hire: project coordination, workflow oversight, process documentation, and simple operational reporting. Scoped to what you need. Optional, never mandatory.

How engagements work

A simple path. You only take the steps you need.

Assess. We look at how work actually flows through your business and identify the bottlenecks costing you the most.

Improve. We redesign the workflow and put practical improvements in place, with clear documentation and ownership.

Automate. Where it makes sense, we automate suitable repetitive work. Not every engagement needs this step.

Manage. When useful, I provide continuing part-time support with agreed responsibilities. No retainer required unless it fits.

Who I help

Solo and small law firms are where I start: intake, document generation, follow-up, and billing workflows carry a heavy administrative load, and that load pulls focus from practicing law.

I also work with accounting and financial-services firms, consultants, insurance and real estate offices, and other independent service businesses with similar operational bottlenecks.

A clear boundary: my work is administrative process support. I am not an attorney, and this is not legal advice. Professional oversight always stays with you.

About Carl Hays

I founded Hays Process Solutions to do the work I am built for: understanding how businesses actually operate and making them run better. My background includes work as an Advanced AI Data Trainer at Invisible Technologies, evaluating the quality of AI model responses, running an independent notary signing business where accuracy, scheduling, and deadlines were the whole job, and years of hands-on work with business software, workflow tools, AI-assisted processes, and structured implementation planning. When you work with Hays Process Solutions, you work directly with me. No junior staff, no handoffs.

FAQ

Do you only work with law firms?
No. Solo and small law firms are an important focus, and I also work with accounting firms, consultants, insurance and real estate offices, and other service businesses with similar operational problems.

What does fractional operations support actually include?
Part-time, ongoing help with agreed responsibilities: coordinating projects, keeping workflows on track, documenting processes, and simple operational reporting. Engagements are scoped to your needs, with responsibilities, fees, and any notice period agreed in advance. Ongoing support is optional and reviewed as your needs change.

Do you write custom software?
No. I work with proven no-code and low-code platforms and appropriate AI tools, so there is nothing custom for you to maintain.

What will I need to maintain?
I prioritize established platforms and practical configurations, with clear documentation and handoff training. Any monitoring, maintenance, or ongoing support requirements are identified upfront.

Are you a lawyer? Is this legal advice?
No. I provide administrative process support only. I am not an attorney and my work is not legal advice; professional oversight stays with you.

Where are you located?
The Knoxville Metro Area, Tennessee. I serve clients remotely nationwide.
