How We're Compensated

A free audit might raise a reasonable question: what's the catch? There isn't one — but here's exactly how our business model works so you understand it completely.

We are compensated by PEOs when we facilitate a successful match between a business and a PEO that is genuinely right for them. Think of it like a buyer's agent in real estate — the seller pays the commission, but the agent's job is to find the right fit for the buyer.

This means we have no financial incentive to recommend a switch if your current PEO is actually serving you well. An honest "stay put" result still builds our reputation and leads to referrals — which is how we grow. A bad match would do the opposite.

If your current PEO is genuinely the right fit, we'll tell you that — and give you the data to negotiate better terms. That outcome is just as valuable to us as a successful match.

Our Model in Plain Language

You pay nothing

The audit is completely free for qualifying companies with 10-150 employees. No hidden fees, no retainer, no surprises.

We earn only on successful matches

We are compensated by the PEO only when we connect you and the fit is right — not for the referral itself.

No relationship with your current PEO

We have no financial arrangement with your existing PEO and no incentive to keep you where you are.

Honest results build our business

Our reputation depends on getting the answer right — not on maximizing switches. Bad matches hurt us more than they hurt you.

Questions About the Process

How long does the audit take?

Most audits are completed within 5-10 business days of receiving the necessary information. We give you a clear timeline upfront based on your specific situation and will keep you updated throughout.

What do I need to provide to start?

Just the information in our request form. After you submit, we reach out to outline exactly what documents would be helpful and walk you through the process step by step. Nothing to gather before you start.

Will my current PEO find out?

No. The entire audit process is confidential. We do not contact your current PEO at any point during the review, and your information is never shared with any third party without your explicit consent.

What if my PEO turns out to be a good fit?

We will tell you exactly that, with data to support it. Many clients use their audit findings to renegotiate better terms with their current PEO. A well-documented "stay put" result is just as valuable as finding a better match.
