Our take
Comploy is a regional option we would shortlist for a Colorado employer that wants payroll, benefits and commercial insurance handled by one local firm, particularly in cannabis, child care or construction where national PEOs often decline the risk. The combined PEO and ASO offering is genuinely useful, because a client can start in co-employment and step down to administrative services without a vendor change. The tradeoff is credentials and scale: there is no IRS CPEO certification and no ESAC accreditation, so a buyer carries more counterparty risk on payroll tax remittance than with a certified provider. We would ask for financial statements, a workers' compensation carrier confirmation and reference accounts of similar size before placing a client here.
