About PEO Consultants
At PEO Consultants Our Experience Measured In Decades
Why Business Owners Trust PEO Consultants
Finding the right PEO provider shouldn’t be overwhelming. As an independent PEO broker, we simplify the search by comparing multiple Professional Employer Organizations on your behalf. We match you with PEO companies that fit your business size, industry, and budget—then provide ongoing support through implementation and beyond.
Our job is to find your best option, even if that means recommending you stay with your current PEO or HR solution. No hidden agendas, just unbiased PEO consulting from brokers who know the marketplace.
What Makes PEO Consultants Different
We Actually Care About Getting It Right
The Team Behind Your PEO Decision
Most PEO brokers operate with a “spray and pray” model—gather your info, blast it to 10 providers, send you the quotes, collect the commission. We built a different kind of team. Here’s who’s working on your behalf:
Chris Peterson, President & Founder
After seeing too many business owners overpay and get locked into bad PEO deals, I founded PEO Consultants in 2012 to fix that.
For over a decade, I’ve helped companies cut through the noise of the PEO marketplace—eliminating the runaround of multiple sales calls and delivering clear, unbiased comparisons instead. My background in Industrial Engineering from the University of Tennessee taught me to strip problems down to numbers and efficiency. That’s exactly how I approach every client engagement: find the waste, eliminate it, and build a better solution.
Whether you need a full PEO partnership or a more flexible health insurance arrangement through our sister company Ezmerp.co, my team and I deliver straight answers and real savings. No sales pitch, no hidden fees—just the best fit for your business and employees.
When I’m not simplifying HR solutions for clients, you’ll find me on the golf course, exploring new restaurants, or hitting the slopes in Colorado.
Bill Dyrenforth, Senior Consultant
I’ve spent over a decade in the PEO and HR technology space, and I’ve seen what works—and what doesn’t. My job is to cut through the marketing speak and match businesses with PEO solutions that actually fit their operations, not just their budget.
With a background in both psychology and computer science from the University of Arizona, I approach every client engagement from two angles: understanding what your team needs and analyzing the technical systems that will support them. I stay on top of industry shifts, carrier changes, and compliance updates so you don’t have to.
At PEO Consultants, I manage the full lifecycle—from initial analysis and vendor comparison through contract negotiation and implementation. My focus is simple: make the transition seamless and get you set up for long-term success, not just a quick sale.
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me on the water or exploring Colorado’s outdoors.
Mallory Kingsbury, Senior Analyst
I build the numbers that help you make the right decision.
With a background in engineering operations at Coterra Energy, I spent seven years turning raw field data into revenue forecasts and production reports—work that demanded precision and speed. When I joined PEO Consultants over six years ago, I brought that same analytical rigor to a new challenge: breaking down complex PEO proposals into clear, comparable cost structures.
My role is to eliminate the guesswork. I dissect every quote, identify hidden fees, compare benefit packages line-by-line, and build the side-by-side analyses that show you exactly where your money goes. With a B.S. in Biology from Colorado State and an MBA from UC Denver, I approach each client project like a data puzzle—and I don’t stop until the picture is crystal clear.
Outside of work, I’m raising three boys in the Colorado countryside, training for my first half-marathon, and spending as much time as possible outdoors—camping, paddleboarding, horseback riding, or cheering from the sidelines at baseball and football games.
FAQ: Why Work With PEO Consultants?
We’re with you from contract signing through implementation and beyond. Consider us your advocate for the entire life of your PEO partnership, not just through the initial sale.
Zero. Our PEO partners compensate us, so you get expert guidance and industry insights at no charge. No quotas. No pressure.
No. Because we represent multiple providers, we can tell you the truth. Sometimes the best option is a smaller PEO you’ve never heard of. Other times, it’s staying with your current provider if that’s genuinely what’s best. We don’t get paid unless you win.
We deliver apples-to-apples cost breakdowns across all quotes, making it easy to see exactly what you’re getting and where the savings are. Our side-by-side comparisons eliminate the confusion of trying to compare different proposal formats on your own.
No. Submit your information once through our streamlined RFP form. We handle outreach to multiple providers so you don’t waste time repeating yourself across multiple sales calls.
We start by listening. No cookie-cutter solutions or hard sells—just tailored PEO options based on what matters most to your business. Your needs drive our recommendations, not commission structures or vendor relationships.
The Results Speak for Themselves
- Since 2012, we’ve helped our clients save over $5.2 million in PEO costs.
- We’ve gotten 2,898 employees access to better benefits than they had before.
- And 80% of the time, we identify substantial cost reductions in areas like health insurance premiums, workers’ comp rates, or administrative fees that business owners didn’t know were negotiable.
- The average client saves around 30% compared to what they were paying—or what they would have paid going direct to a PEO sales rep.
