Family-owned Pensacola PEO, ESAC accredited since 1995 and IRS certified since 2017
Landrum HR Solutions is an IRS-certified and ESAC-accredited PEO that quotes companies of 5 to 500 employees, positioned at small and mid-size businesses (sweet spot: 10 to 150), most often Small and mid-size Gulf Coast and Southeast employers. One of the few regional PEOs carrying both IRS CPEO certification and ESAC accreditation, the latter continuously since ESAC was founded in 1995. Regional footprint centered on Northwest Florida and the Southeast, with no published pricing and limited disclosure of scale.
Our take
Landrum is the kind of PEO we put in front of a Gulf Coast or Southeast client who wants credentials and continuity rather than software. The credential stack is genuinely strong: IRS certification limits your federal payroll tax exposure, and an ESAC record running back to 1995 is about as much financial assurance as a private regional PEO can offer. What you trade away is scale and technology, so we always compare the benefit plan rates and renewal history against a national carrier-backed PEO before recommending them. Ask for the medical renewal history on similar-sized groups and get the workers' compensation class rates in writing, because that is where a regional quote usually wins or loses.
