For Companies
Know where your governance stands — then fill the seats.
Start with a free Governance Readiness Audit. Get a scored maturity report in minutes, then get matched with the directors, advisers and fractional executives who close your specific gaps — and run the board in the same platform.
Four ways in
Everything you need to build governance that holds up.
Governance Readiness Audit
A free, 12-minute self-assessment scored across structure, selection, cadence, accountability, impact and documentation — the same rubric we use to evaluate every profile on the platform.
Start the audit →Board & Advisory Talent
Search independent advisers, advisory board members and board directors. Anonymized profiles and evidence-based capability data — not resumes and referrals.
Browse board talent →Fractional Executives
Hire fractional CFOs, COOs, CTOs and other C-suite talent — matched to the specific outcomes you need, not a job title on a CV.
Browse executives →Board Management
Run cadence, agendas, minutes and follow-through for your fiduciary or advisory board — in the same system you used to build it.
Explore Board Management →How It Works
From diagnostic to a board that actually works.

Twelve minutes on the advisers, advisory board or directors you have today — even if the honest answer is none yet.

Governance maturity across six dimensions, instantly, plus what is actually driving the gap.

Anonymized, evidence-based profiles of the executives, advisers and directors who close your specific gaps.

Frequently asked questions
- Why does AndAssociates.io start with the audit?
- Because you can't fix what you haven't measured. The Governance Readiness Audit scores you across six dimensions in about twelve minutes, and everything after it — who we match you with, what the seat covers — comes off that score.
- How does appointing a director or advisor work?
- You define the seat: what it must cover, whether it carries a vote and fiduciary duty, how often it meets, and the capability profile you want. We hand-match vetted candidates against a five-dimension capability spec, you interview, and the appointment is signed on-platform.
- Can I fill several board seats at once?
- Yes. A board buildout is a parent search containing individual seats, each with its own capability spec, shortlist and outcome — so a five-seat board is five distinct decisions, not one generic posting.
- How does hiring a fractional executive work?
- The same rails, one layer down. You post the outcome you need, the hours a week and the timeline. We hand-match vetted operators, you interview on a shared rubric, and contracts, invoicing and pay all happen on the platform.
- How are directors, advisors and executives vetted?
- Everyone is reviewed by our team before going live: work history, references, evidence of prior outcomes and a live interview. Board candidates also complete a capability assessment and fiduciary disclosures. Only a minority of applicants are approved.
- How much does it cost?
- The audit is free. Board and advisory seats carry a one-off placement fee raised when the agreement is e-signed, fractional engagements carry a per-cycle platform fee, and Board Management is a separate licence.
- How fast can I get someone started?
- Median time to a seat shortlist is 48 hours. Most companies interview within a week and appoint or start an engagement within two weeks.
- What happens after the appointment?
- Board and advisory seats continue into Board Management — meetings, board packs, minutes, resolutions and vesting. Fractional hires continue into onboarding, with 30/60/90-day plans and KPIs that feed the same board pack.
