Why Should You Use a PEO Consultant?
By Chris PetersonUpdated
The short answer
Comparing PEOs on your own means filling out the same forms for each one and decoding quotes built in different ways. A PEO consultant shops the market for you from one secure intake, breaks each quote down to its full cost and walks you through the options; with PEO Consultants, the PEO you select pays the fee, so the comparison is free to you.
What does a PEO consultant do?
PEO Consultants shops the PEO marketplace for you. You provide the information a quote needs once, through Chris's secure process, and the team takes it from there. To get quotes, the team shares what PEOs need for underwriting with the PEOs being compared.
Why not compare PEOs yourself?
Comparing several PEO quotes takes real time, and PEOs build their quotes differently. Some bundle workers' comp, employment practices liability insurance and compliance services into one fee; others show a lower admin fee and bill those items separately (ADP, 2026). The team breaks each quote down so you can see the full cost of services side by side, and explains the differences.
How is a PEO consultant paid?
The PEO you select pays PEO Consultants a finder's fee. You never get a bill from us. Because the team works across many PEOs, the recommendation is about fit, and sometimes the best answer is staying with the PEO you have.
How long has PEO Consultants been doing this?
Since 2012. The team is based in Denver and works with small and mid-sized businesses across the United States.
