PEO Comparison & Marketing Analysis
Most employers enter a PEO for one reason and stay for another: nobody has ever put the alternative on paper. We build that paper. An independent marketing analysis comparing your current PEO to other certified PEOs — or your direct carrier medical rates to PEO master plan pricing.
Certified PEOs (CPEOs) only. No non-certified providers, ever.
Who this is for
We benchmark your current PEO against other certified PEOs — master medical rates, admin fees, workers' comp loads, service model and technology — so you can see whether your incumbent is still competitive or simply comfortable.
We compare your fully insured or self-funded medical rates against PEO master plan pricing for the same census, so you can see exactly what a PEO master plan would cost — and what it would deliver — before you ever change anything.
We run a structured marketing analysis across certified PEO partners, normalize every proposal onto one apples-to-apples grid, and give you a defensible recommendation you can bring to your board.
The analysis
PEO proposals are built to be hard to compare. Different fee structures, bundled ancillaries, buried admin loads. We rebuild every offer onto a single total-cost-of-employment model so you are comparing outcomes, not sales decks.
A diagnostic of this scope would typically be a paid $2,500–$5,000 engagement. It is offered complimentary to qualified employers.
Certified PEOs only
We work exclusively with IRS-Certified PEOs. It narrows the field — deliberately. Certification is the difference between a payroll partner you can audit and one you have to trust.
A Certified PEO has been vetted by the IRS for financial stability, bonding and tax compliance. Non-certified PEOs are excluded from every analysis we run.
With a CPEO, the certification provides relief from successor employment tax liability. If a non-certified PEO fails to remit, the exposure can land back on you.
Moving to a CPEO mid-year does not restart FICA and FUTA wage bases. That is real money — and a detail most PEO sales conversations skip.
The process
You describe your current setup. We confirm fit.
Census, current rates, invoices. NDA in place.
Certified PEOs marketed and normalized.
One grid, one recommendation, no jargon.
Stay, switch or renegotiate — with leverage.
Next step
Twenty minutes to start. Worst case, you learn your current arrangement is already competitive — and now you can prove it to your board.
