Led by Mark J. Burger, CPA, a practice dating to 1987, providing tax and business advisory services to companies navigating HR outsourcing, payroll compliance, and workforce cost management decisions.
Mark J. Burger, CPA – Co-Founder
Mark J. Burger, CPA, has been in practice since 1987. His professional background includes experience with Arthur Young & Company, a Big 8 accounting firm and predecessor of Ernst & Young. He has also served as a partner at one of South Florida’s largest CPA and advisory practices and has operated an independent accounting and advisory practice.
His experience includes advising business clients on tax matters, business operations, and Professional Employer Organization (PEO) arrangements. He has expertise in reviewing PEO fee structures, renewal terms, service agreements, and contract provisions, helping employers understand the financial and operational implications of their decisions.
How I am paid
I am compensated by the PEO you select. Rates differ between PEO partners, and in some cases they differ substantially — those differences generally track the level of service and support each PEO provides. I will tell you what I am paid on any PEO I put in front of you. Ask me. I would rather you did.
What you are buying here is not a neutral referral. It is a CPA reading the contract line by line, negotiating the terms, and still being here when the renewal arrives. Most brokers are gone after placement.

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 is why PEO Advisor exists.
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 at every stage.
Explain what a PEO proposal does not make obvious.
Keep your company in control during selection, negotiation, and renewal.
Simplify complex PEO contracts into understandable, actionable decisions.
