What we do is similar to your outsourcing to a CPA firm for financial expertise, or to a law firm for legal expertise. Many small businesses also outsource to Professional Employer Organizations (PEO) for human resources expertise.

In doing this, instant access is granted to an entire staff of HR professionals and a technical platform at a fraction of the cost that would be required to have all of those functions in-house. 

Outsourcing under a PEO arrangement allows smaller companies to become part of a large network of companies, which in turn creates economies of scale, through “employee pooling”, and creates significant leverage when it comes to negotiating better health insurance rates, better worker’s compensation rates, and entire employee benefits plans.

PEO Outsourcing = One Source, One Vendor

Small companies do not have the luxury of a large internal HR Department to solve their employee's issues. Typically, they have to either outsource to many different vendors (e.g., a broker for health insurance, an outside company for payroll processing, an HR consultant for training & development, etc.), or simply do without. With a Professional Employer Organization, small companies get a single-source solution for all of their HR needs - a solution that provides them with immediate access to the types of HR services and benefits normally found in Fortune 500 type organizations:

Employee Benefits - Health insurance, and flexible spending account plans, 401(k), Employee Assistance Programs.

HR Consulting - Organizational Development, training, recruitment & retention strategies, regulatory compliance.

Payroll Administration - Preparation, processing, job costing, reporting, and tax filing.

Risk Management & Workers' Compensation - Claims management, safety training programs, government compliance.

With 14 years of experience in the PEO industry, The People Advisor, LLC has served as a leading resource for business owners who want to spend more time on growing their business and less time on the routine daily burdens of running it.

By partnering with The People Advisor, small companies gain access to an entire staff of HR professionals - who collectively possess more than 100 years of experience and an IT platform - a luxury typically afforded only to larger businesses.
