What We Do:
Let us ensure your PEO remains the right fit year after year.
Our service is free to you. We are compensated by our PEO partners if you decide to join them. We have pre-negotiated rates we are paid, and because it’s standard, we aren’t incentivized if you pick one solution over another.
We have over 100 PEOs on our platform. All of our PEO partners are IRS-Certified. We also have 7 International PEO/EOR providers.
Great point. Because you are an expert at your job and are busy. With over 400 PEOs in the US, it’s a challenge to research which ones make sense, fill out multiple forms, listen to sales pitches, and then decipher which PEO makes the most sense. And of the of that do your actual job.
The PEOs offer national plans from Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UHC/Oxford, Humana, and Kaiser.
We can figure out which PEOs make sense for you, get pricing from them, compare what you are doing side-by-side, help you vet the PEOs, and if you choose to join a PEO, we help you with implementation and aftercare.
We like to leave no questions unanswered. Feel free to book a chat with us, or click on the orange chatbox and ask away.

Founder and CEO
In 2010, Rodney founded Dinsmore Steele with a clear vision: to give business owners an unbiased, efficient way to shop, compare, and negotiate with Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs). As CEO, he has spent the last 16 years redefining how companies build HR infrastructure—not by selling vendors, but by engineering smarter PEO strategies that protect margins and fuel growth.
Rodney often says most companies don’t pick the “wrong” PEO—they pick without a strategy. That lack of strategy costs businesses time, leverage, and profitability. Through Dinsmore Steele’s Strategic PEO Advisory™, Rodney and his team compress what would normally take months of research into a few days of outcome-driven analysis. The results speak for themselves: over 6,000 companies advised, more than $592M in savings delivered, and an average of $2,016.78 saved per employee, per year. Trusted by growth-stage founders, PE operators, and portfolio teams, Rodney has built an independent, strategic, and proven model that helps businesses design infrastructure that scales—because the right PEO strategy doesn’t just save money, it powers the next stage of growth.
