Who is PDX Benefits?
JAMES RUSSELL
I help businesses grow by giving them custom solutions to make their operations more efficient and profitable.
A Business Support and Payroll Broker helps companies manage payroll, handle administrative tasks, and provide support services to streamline business operations.
I also connect business owners with useful resources and industry experts.
Through workshops and practical tips, I aim to improve business operations, focusing on areas like efficiency, HR, and finances.
My goal is to help everyone overcome challenges and succeed.
I am a Special Education teacher for more than a turned business consultant, specializing in helping businesses find the right solutions to fit their unique needs. After transitioning to the private sector, I saw how much businesses needed support in areas they didn't have time to address.
I started connecting with companies to understand their challenges and match them with the best vendors—always prioritizing what's best for the business, not the vendor. I'm passionate about helping companies attract and retain top talent with more thoughtful compensation options, all while simplifying operations and cutting costs to drive growth. Let's work together to make your business thrive!
