We Protect Employers from the Hidden Risks of PEOs.
Led by Mark J. Burger, CPA — 37 years providing tax and business advisory services to companies navigating HR outsourcing, payroll compliance, and workforce cost management decisions.
Our Story – Why We Exist
Most business owners assume that outsourcing HR to a PEO reduces cost and risk. But after decades advising clients on tax strategy, payroll compliance, and HR cost structure, I saw how often those assumptions lead to costly surprises. PEO contracts can obscure true costs, transfer liability, and erode transparency over time. That’s why PEOAdvisor exists — to protect employers with independent, CPA-level insight before and after they sign.
Our Values – The Employer’s Promise
We believe every employer deserves clarity, control, and confidence when partnering with a PEO. Our core commitments:
- Protect your financial interests, not vendor profits.
- Reveal what the PEO representative won’t tell you.
- Keep your company in control during selection, negotiation, and renewal.
- Simplify complex PEO contracts into understandable, actionable decisions.
How We Work
Our advisory process combines professional rigor with practical insight:
- Discovery — Review your HR, payroll, and compliance structure.
- Analysis — Identify true costs, risk exposures, and opportunity areas.
- Comparison — Benchmark and evaluate qualified PEO providers.
- Negotiation — Strengthen contract terms and ensure full fee transparency.
- Ongoing Oversight — Monitor performance and advise on renewals.
