Sterling Heights, MI – America's Back Office (ABO), a human resource management company, remains the only IRS Certified Professional Employer Organization (cPEO) based in Michigan. Small- and mid-sized businesses in Michigan can take advantage of this unique opportunity to improve their human resource services while potentially lowering their expenses.
The IRS requires CPEO's to meet exceptional standards. Before certifying an organization, the IRS reviews its tax status, background, business location, financial reporting, bonding, level of experience, and other requirements. As of June 2020, only ABO has applied for and received IRS certification.
"This acknowledgment of the IRS designates an important mark for America's Back Office and our dedication to consistent excellence," said Dave Otto, America's Back Office, Chief Executive Officer. "We are excited about the payroll tax advantages and streamlined communication with the IRS. These efficiencies have resulted in a significant reduction in cost and an increase in productivity for our clients."
Businesses should consider using cPEO's because the organizations offer unique benefits. For example, an IRS Certified PEO assumes all liability for the payment of federal employment taxes. If federal taxes do not get paid, the IRS comes to the cPEO for enforcement. When businesses hire Professional Employer Organizations with IRS certification, the business's owner or board remains liable for payroll taxes. If the taxes go unpaid, then the IRS comes to the company to collect. The PEO does not have the same level of responsibility and involvement as a cPEO.
Companies that hire cPEO's retain control as employers, and they get to oversee daily operations. The CPEO acts as a co-employer that relieves companies of burdensome obligations. By accepting this role, the cPEO makes it easier for businesses to dedicate time and energy to reaching goals like improved customer engagement, increased revenues, and product development.
As the only Irs Certified PEO in Michigan, America's Back Office can give small- to medium-sized businesses unique growth opportunities while avoiding unwanted tasks connected to human resources, taxation, and regulatory compliance.
