Questco Review 2026

Texas-based mid-market PEO peer to G&A

Founded: 1989·Best for: 10–250 employees·Quote-only PEPM

Our take

Questco is a credible Texas mid-market alternative to G&A Partners for buyers in Houston, DFW, Austin, and San Antonio. They typically come in at competitive pricing and the Texas local relationships are real. The ESAC gap is worth flagging: if your CFO or auditor specifically asks about ESAC, G&A or another ESAC-accredited option may be the better recommendation.

What Questco does well

  • ✓CPEO-certified
  • ✓Houston Business Journal 'Best Places to Work' recognition

The usual reason: CPEO yes but no ESAC accreditation, a credential gap vs. peers like G&A Partners that's worth flagging for compliance-sensitive buyers.
