Why PEO Consultants Is Different

Why PEO Consultants Is Different

You already know you need help navigating the PEO marketplace.

The real question is: Which broker do you trust?

PEO Consultants operates differently than typical PEO brokers who prioritize commissions over client success. Founded by Chris Peterson, the team includes Senior Consultant Bill Dyrenforth and Senior Analyst Mallory Kingsbury, who conduct thorough analyses of each client’s situation, manage streamlined RFP processes, and provide clear proposal comparisons. They offer unbiased recommendations—even when it means lower commissions—and provide lifetime support after placement. Since 2012, they’ve helped clients save over $5.2 million in PEO costs, with average savings around 30% per client. Their approach focuses on finding the right PEO fit rather than making a quick sale, with ongoing advocacy if providers underperform.

Not All PEO Brokers Operate The Same Way.

Some shop your information to the highest bidder. Others hand you a stack of quotes and disappear. A few are just thinly disguised sales arms for specific PEO companies.

We don’t work like that.

At PEO Consultants, we built our business on one principle: your success comes first, not our commission check. That might sound like marketing speak, but here’s how we actually live it.

What Makes Us Different? We Actually Care About Getting It Right

Here’s the reality: choosing the wrong PEO isn’t just expensive—it’s disruptive.

Unreliable payroll means your employees don’t get paid on time. Bad onboarding creates compliance gaps. Unresponsive customer service means you’re stuck troubleshooting problems that should have been handled by your provider. And if you’re locked into a three-year contract, you’re paying for subpar service with no easy exit.

We Eliminate That Risk.

We’ve done this hundreds of times. We know which PEOs have great technology but weak customer service. We know which ones excel with remote teams but struggle with manufacturing. We know the red flags in contracts that most business owners miss until it’s too late.

And because we’re with you after the sale, you’re never stuck dealing with a bad provider alone.

Our Team Is What Makes This Work

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
Founder & President

Chris brings over a decade of PEO marketplace expertise and a background in Industrial Engineering that taught him to strip problems down to numbers and efficiency. He approaches every client engagement the same way: find the waste, eliminate it, and build a better solution. His job is to make sure every recommendation aligns with your business goals—not a sales target.

Bill Dyrenforth
Senior Consultant

Bill Dyrenforth, Senior ConsultantBill has spent more than ten years in the PEO and HR technology space. He manages the full client lifecycle—from initial analysis and vendor comparison through contract negotiation and implementation. Bill’s focus is simple: make the transition seamless and set you up for long-term success, not just a quick sale. He stays current on industry shifts, carrier changes, and compliance updates so you don’t have to.

Mallory Kingsbury
Senior Analyst

Mallory is the one who makes sure nothing slips through the cracks. With a background analyzing complex financial data in the energy sector and an MBA, she dissects every PEO proposal line-by-line. Hidden fees? She finds them. Confusing benefit structures? She breaks them down. Mallory builds the clear, detailed comparisons that give you confidence in your decision.

What You Can Expect From PEO Consultants?

When you work with us, here’s EXACTLY what happens…

Complete Analysis of Your Current Situation

We don’t use generic questionnaires. We have real conversations about what’s working, what’s not, and where you want to be. We look at your payroll, health insurance, workers’ comp, compliance challenges, and any premium services you’re considering.

One Streamlined RFP Process

You provide your information once. We take it from there and shop it to our network of trusted PEO partners. No more repeating yourself to five different sales reps.

Clear, Side-by-Side Comparisons

We consolidate all the quotes into an easy-to-read comparison grid that breaks down bundled costs, highlights coverage differences, and shows you exactly where your money goes. No fine print surprises. No hidden fees buried three pages deep.

Unbiased Recommendations (Even If It Means Less Money for Us)

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.

Lifetime Support and Advocacy

Once you sign with a PEO, we don’t disappear. We’re there through implementation, renewals, vendor issues, and any bumps along the way. If your PEO drops the ball, we step in and hold them accountable. Think of us as your insurance policy against bad service.

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 even know were negotiable.

The average savings per client? Around 30% compared to what they were paying—or what they would have paid if they’d gone directly to a PEO sales rep.

FAQ: What Makes PEO Consultants Different?

What happens after I choose a PEO provider?

Unlike most brokers who disappear after the sale, we provide lifetime support and advocacy. We’re there through implementation, helping with the transition, employee onboarding, and any technical issues. When renewal time comes, we review pricing to ensure it still makes sense. If your PEO drops the ball or service quality declines, we step in and hold them accountable. Think of us as your insurance policy against bad PEO service—we’re with you for the long haul, not just the initial placement.

What does your consultation process look like?

We start with real conversations—not generic questionnaires. We discuss what’s working, what’s not, and where you want to be. We examine your payroll setup, health insurance costs, workers’ comp rates, compliance challenges, and any premium services you’re considering. Then you provide your information once, and we handle the rest—shopping it to our network of trusted PEO partners and managing all vendor communications. No more repeating yourself to five different sales reps or dealing with multiple follow-up calls.
