Building operations, HR, and finance systems that get us all free.

  • ever teo consulting is a queer- and trans-led consulting practice helping nonprofits and mission-driven organizations build clear, equitable, and sustainable systems. with more than 20 years of experience in people operations, organizational design, compensation strategy, and culture repair, we support organizations in aligning their structure, policies, and practices with their values.

    our work blends technical expertise with somatics, trauma-informed facilitation, and liberatory principles—because HR, operations, and finance aren’t just systems; they’re how we practice care.

  • we partner with nonprofits, movement organizations, and mission-driven teams committed to equity, collective care, and meaningful impact.

    we work especially well with organizations led by or serving BIPOC, queer, trans, immigrant, disabled, working-class, and youth communities, and with teams navigating growth, transition, or cultural transformation.

    whether you’re restructuring, scaling, building new systems, or repairing trust, we help create clarity and alignment so your people can thrive.

  • ever teo consulting sits at the crossroads of movement-building and organizational design. We create policies, systems, and processes that balance rigor with care — because sustainability isn’t just about efficiency, it’s about aliveness.

    our work is guided by a few core practices:

    • equity as infrastructure. Care isn’t an HR policy — it’s how we budget, communicate, and make decisions.

    • somatics as structure. The body is the first site of transformation. Organizational change must move at the speed of trust and nervous systems.

    • liberation as practice. We’re not chasing perfection; we’re practicing alignment. Every system is a living experiment in care and accountability.

  • we believe that operations, HR, and governance are expressions of our deepest values. how we hire, pay, promote, communicate, make decisions, and navigate conflict shapes our culture far more than any mission statement.

    we believe nonprofits deserve systems that are equitable, transparent, liberatory, and sustainable—not inherited from dominant norms but intentionally crafted for the communities they serve.

    we believe care is strategic. clarity is liberatory. and thriving teams build thriving organizations.

    to move from “values statements” to values in motion.

    to make the invisible labor of care visible, valued, and resourced.

    we build systems that help people breathe easier, lead better, and stay longer — because liberation is in the details.

land acknowledgement

ever teo consulting was founded on the traditional and unceded lands of the Gabrielino and Tongva peoples. We honor the sovereignty, enduring presence, and ancestral wisdom of the Gabrielino/Tongva Nation, and pay our respects to elders past, present, and emerging.

This land is living, storied, and Indigenous. It holds memory, resistance, ceremony, and future.

Our work is grounded in a liberation framework that understands justice as inseparable across human and nonhuman life — land, animals, disabled bodies, trans and queer people, migrants, and all those rendered disposable by colonial and capitalist systems. We commit to practicing in right relationship with land and lineage, to supporting Indigenous sovereignty and self-determination, and to building futures where collective liberation includes bodies, species, and worlds yet to come.

We invite you to reflect on whose land you are on, and how your work participates in power, care, and liberation.
