How much do employee benefits consulting services cost?
HRO Advisors offers a free consultation and comparison process for businesses evaluating PEOs, ASOs, payroll providers, and employee health benefits options. While provider pricing varies based on workforce size, plan design, industry, and selected services, the advisory process is designed to help identify cost-effective options and may help companies reduce HR costs significantly, potentially up to 40% through matched provider solutions.
Can HRO Advisors help with employee health insurance plans?
Yes. HRO Advisors helps businesses evaluate employee health benefits providers offering high-quality, affordable group plans. The process focuses on matching your workforce needs, budget, and compliance obligations with appropriate providers, including access to group pricing and competitive benefits packages designed to help attract and retain talent.
What is the difference between PEO and ASO services?
A PEO operates under a co-employment model and may handle payroll, benefits administration, compliance, workers' compensation, and HR support. An ASO provides many administrative HR services without co-employment. HRO Advisors helps businesses compare both models so they can choose the structure that fits their risk tolerance, control preferences, and budget.
How does benefits consulting support HR compliance?
HRO Advisors supports compliance by connecting businesses with providers and resources that address labor laws, ACA, ERISA, COBRA, payroll tax requirements, employee handbooks, workplace policies, audits, and training programs. This helps employers reduce regulatory risk while maintaining clearer HR processes and more consistent documentation across teams.
How many PEO providers can HRO Advisors compare?
HRO Advisors can compare up to 8 PEOs side-by-side and has access to over 500 PEO providers. The process includes data collection, cost analysis, service comparisons, compliance feature review, and direct negotiation with providers to help businesses secure better rates, clearer terms, and a stronger operational fit.
Do you provide benefits consulting for specific industries?
Yes. HRO Advisors works with many sectors, including architecture, engineering, consulting, financial services, life sciences, manufacturing, non-profits, senior living, technology, retail, construction, hospitality, healthcare, education, and professional services. Industry-specific matching helps align benefits, payroll, compliance, and HR support with the realities of your workforce.
How do we get started with HRO Advisors?
Getting started typically begins with a no-obligation consultation to review your current HR setup, benefits goals, employee count, pain points, and budget priorities. HRO Advisors then gathers relevant data, compares qualified providers, explains tradeoffs, and helps you evaluate options before committing to a PEO, ASO, benefits, payroll, or compliance solution.
