Already Have a PEO?
Make Sure It Still Fits.
Your PEO may have been the right choice when you selected it. That doesn't mean it's still the right fit today. We independently review your pricing, benefits, service, contract terms, and overall fit to show you what's working, what's changed, and where there may be opportunities to improve.
About three minutes. No documents required.
Your PEO Doesn't Stay Competitive Without Regular Review.
Pricing changes. Benefits renew. Service levels shift. Contract terms evolve. And your business may look very different than when you originally selected the PEO.
Without regular review, it's difficult to know whether you're still getting the right value, service, and fit from the relationship.
WHEN TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK
Signs It's Time to Review Your PEO
You don't need a problem to justify a review. Changes in cost, service, benefits, or your business itself can all be reasons to take a closer look.
These are some of the most common signs that your PEO relationship deserves an independent review.
-
Renewal Costs Keep Increasing
RENEWAL PRICING
Your renewal hasn't been independently benchmarked against the market.
-
Fees Are Difficult to Reconcile
COST TRANSPARENCY
You can't clearly see what you're paying, what's changed, or why.
-
Workers' Comp Hasn't Been Reviewed
RISK & UNDERWRITING
Classifications, rates, and assumptions may no longer reflect your business.
-
Your Business Has Changed
COMPANY GROWTH
New states, acquisitions, or workforce changes can alter what you need from a PEO.
-
Service No Longer Fits
SERVICE & SUPPORT
The service model hasn't kept pace with the size or complexity of your company.
PEO ALIGNMENT REVIEW™
What We Review Inside Your Current PEO
A PEO Alignment Review™ looks beyond the headline price to understand how the relationship is performing overall.
We examine the economics, benefits, risk, service, and contract structure to identify what still works, what has changed, and where opportunities to improve remain.
-
Administrative Fees
COST STRUCTURE
We review your fee structure, pricing tiers, and increases to understand what you're actually paying.
-
Benefits
PLAN & CONTRIBUTIONS
We evaluate plan design, employer contributions, and costs against your workforce and the market.
-
Workers’ Compensation
RISK & UNDERWRITING
We review classifications, rates, and underwriting assumptions for potential misalignment.
-
Payroll Taxes
TAX EXPOSURE
We examine state unemployment rates and other payroll-tax costs that can affect your total PEO spend.
-
Service & Support
SERVICE MODEL
We assess whether the service model still fits the size, complexity, and needs of your company.
-
Contract & Renewal Terms
CONTRACT TERMS
We review renewal provisions, notice requirements, pricing changes, and the terms that affect your options.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Two Outcomes. One Objective
Every PEO Alignment Review™ leads to the same question: Does your current PEO still make sense for your business?
From there, the path is clear.
-
Stay & Improve
CURRENT PEO
If your current PEO is still the right fit, we identify opportunities to improve pricing, benefits, service, and contract terms without unnecessary disruption.
-
Change & Realign
NEW PEO
If your current PEO no longer fits, we evaluate the market, identify better-aligned options, and manage the transition.
A Clear Review. A Clear Recommendation.
We start with your current PEO, renewal timing, workforce, priorities, and what has changed.
We evaluate pricing, benefits, service, risk, and contract terms against the market and your company's needs.
You receive a clear recommendation to stay, improve, renegotiate, switch, or leave the PEO model.
Typical turnaround is 8–10 business days following intake.

WHAT THE REVIEW CAN REVEAL
What You Don't Know Can Cost You.
A PEO can look competitive on the surface, while important issues aren't always visible in the economics, benefits, contract, or structure of the relationship.
An independent review gives you the information to know what is working, what isn't, and whether anything needs to change.
- You're paying more than comparable companies
- Your benefits are no longer competitive
- Workers' comp classifications or rates need attention
- Your contract limits your options at renewal
- Your service model hasn't kept pace with your business
- Your current PEO is still the right fit, but the relationship can be improved
