FINDING THE RIGHT SOLUTION & SERVICES FOR YOUR BUSINESS
North Star Advisory helps businesses in Minneapolis–St. Paul and across the U.S. evaluate, compare, and select the right PEO or HR outsourcing solution.
We bring structure to a process that is often fragmented, sales-driven, and difficult to navigate.
WHAT IS A PEO?
HOW DOES IT HELP?
We like to say, “Do what you do best and outsource the rest” because it’s true.
A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) provides support across key areas of your business:
- Payroll processing and tax administration
- Employee benefits
- HR services, staffing and compliance
- Workers’ compensation and risk management
For most, a PEO creates operational efficiency, while allowing leadership to stay focused on growth.
WHAT IS THE REAL CHALLENGE?
Not all PEO companies are the same and you don't know what you don't know.
While many PEO providers appear similar, they vary significantly in:
- Pricing structure (payroll and taxes)
- Benefits offerings and vendors
- Service model and responsiveness
- HR support depth
- Risk management approach
- Finding and retaining top talent and reducing turnover
HOW DOES A PEO BROKER HELP?
A clearer way to evaluate your options based on YOUR business goals and concerns.
Working with a PEO Broker in Minnesota allows you to compare multiple providers and without navigating the process alone.
North Star Advisory provides:
- Structured PEO company comparison
- Broker options
- Clear breakdown of total cost
- Side-by-side evaluation of benefits and services
- Guidance on PEO vs. ASO models
- Support through decision and implementation
