After 37 years as a CPA, Big 8 Experience & PEO industry experience, I am on your side.
For CEOs, CFOs, and HR directors of 20–500 employee companies: get a CPA‑level consultation of your PEO proposal so you do not over‑pay or under‑protect.

We help you see what is really inside your PEO relationship — costs, risks, and opportunities.

  • Discover your true HR cost and risk baseline.
  • Put your PEO proposal under the microscope — uncover hidden payroll‑tax mark‑ups, benefit‑load assumptions, renewal escalators.
  • Negotiate better terms that protect your business.
  • Stay in control through onboarding and renewal review.
Service Step
  • Step 1: Discovery — Review your cost structure, benefits, and compliance.
  • Step 2: Proposal Review — Expose hidden cost factors and contract traps.
  • Step 3: Negotiation — Strengthen terms, define SLAs, and reduce renewal risk.
  • Step 4: Oversight — Maintain control through data‑driven monitoring.
What Your PEO Rep Won’t Tell You

Most PEO contracts embed 5–25 % hidden markups. Renewal rates often jump 10–20 % without explanation. After reviewing dozens of PEO agreements, here are the red flags I see again and again:

  • Payroll‑tax markup not disclosed
  • Benefit load assumptions inflated
  • Ambiguous renewal clauses
  • No audit or termination rights
  • Pass‑through fees without detail
