Our Services

Before we improve Salesforce, we start with diagnosis. The first signs are usually clear: staff complaints, inconsistent adoption, or leaders not trusting the reports they receive. These symptoms point to deeper issues in how Salesforce is built and supported. We uncover the real causes so leaders can take action with clarity.


From there, our focus is simple: 

  • Increase revenue by giving executives clear visibility into the systems that drive growth, improving the effectiveness of campaigns and donor or customer engagement, and capturing more opportunities through automation and better insights.

  • Decrease costs by avoiding unnecessary hires and high contractor spend, eliminating wasted staff hours through automation, and lowering the overall cost of Salesforce ownership by reducing errors and rework.

  • Improve efficiency by freeing critical staff time through automation, streamlining workflows across departments, and ensuring teams can focus on high-value work instead of repetitive tasks.

  • Ensure governance with secure, accurate data that executives and boards can trust, while staying fully compliant with legal, financial, and industry standards.
At Higher Rock, we do not just fix Salesforce. We help executives turn it into a growth asset while giving staff the confidence and support they need to thrive.

About us

At Higher Rock, we believe Salesforce should create clarity, not confusion. Too often, it becomes overhead: a powerful system that leaders and staff struggle to use effectively. We change that. Our work equips organizations to turn Salesforce into a platform that drives growth, efficiency, and results.

Higher Rock was founded by Jim Krizan, a Salesforce Architect with experience across nonprofit, higher education, and mission-driven sectors. Jim brings both technical expertise and executive perspective, having seen firsthand how complexity can hold back leaders and teams. He built Higher Rock to deliver solutions that are simple, scalable, and aligned with what organizations need to thrive.

That is why we focus on more than technical fixes:

  • Architecture that scales: building systems that grow with you, not against you.

  • Guidance that empowers: helping your team adopt Salesforce with clarity and confidence.

  • Integrations that connect: unifying the tools you rely on so your data works for you.

  • Engagement strategies that grow: turning information into actionable insight for advancement, fundraising, and operations.

Our commitment is simple: every project must create meaningful impact. We define success by the results our clients achieve: greater efficiency, stronger engagement, and the freedom for leaders to focus on growth. At Higher Rock, we walk alongside your organization, simplifying complexity and removing friction so you can focus on what matters most. Salesforce is not the destination. It is the engine that helps you get where you want to go.

Our experience with Higher Rock LLC has been nothing short of exceptional. Their Salesforce Managed Services have greatly improved our business operations and their Salesforce Application Development has helped us achieve our goals efficiently.

Non-Profits

Non-profits have a focus on a mission that will improve human flourishing.  Salesforce equips non-profits to maximize their potential through utilizing NPSP.  Yet, many non-profits simply lack the resourcing needed to utilize Salesforce to its’ full potential or know where to go to solve common pain points.  Whether your issues are involved with tracking events and attendees at fund raisers to clearing out outdated and archived Mailchimp tasks from Task Lists to inefficient page layouts
