More than once I started from scratch.

Meaning:

• finding the right payroll company
• integrating this into the finance department
• finding the right insurance broker
• proposing the employee benefits package
• setting up the contracts including the fiscal implications of the employee benefits
• enrolling the first employees into payroll and setting up the files
• making process descriptions for the above
• writing the employee manual when there are more than 30 employees expected to join
• etcetc..
