PrestigePEO vs TriNet

PrestigePEO is a PEO that provides HR services to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in eight industries. It is headquartered in Melville, NY, and was founded in 1998 by Andrew Lubash, and became a member of the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations (NAPEO) that same year. It is accredited to service clients in 48 states and is ranked #12 out of more than 487 PEOs nationwide. Its services include employee benefits, HR management and consulting, payroll, workplace compliance, retirement planning, HR technologies, and workers' compensation. It does not share specific solution plans or pricing on the website, so prospective clients have to submit a form or call for a personalized quote. PrestigePEO holds the Employer Services Assurance Corporation (ESAC) certification and the Certificate Institute (CI) Workers' Compensation certification. They also hold CPEO certification from the IRS. It is one of only 1% of PEOs in the US to retain all three industry certifications.
