What Anthros does

Anthros Inc. is a privately held Professional Employer Organization (PEO) headquartered in Winter Park, Florida, providing integrated human resources, payroll, benefits administration, workers' compensation, compliance, and risk management services to small and medium-sized businesses across the United States. The company operates as a co-employer of record, taking on payroll tax remittance, employee benefits administration (with $12M+ in annual health insurance premiums and $30M+ in 401(k) plan assets under management), EEOC and E-Verify compliance, employee assistance programs, and brand and workplace culture consulting. Its customer base spans hospitality and fine dining (including a publicized relationship with chef Gavin Kaysen's Spoon and Stable, Bellecour & Demi and Michelin-starred culinary clients), healthcare practices, and professional services and law firms, with primary verticals being SMBs and the hospitality/restaurant sector.

Anthros delivers its services through a technology stack anchored by PrismHR's cloud-based HRIS (SOC 1 compliant) and the PrismONE mobile app, with a historical HRPyramid (HRP) integration via F.W. Davison and Company, 401(k) services partnered through Slavic401k, and an E-Verify integration for employment eligibility. In 2024, the company launched a Unified Employee Experience platform and an enhanced Report Center; its 2025 roadmap includes a PrismONE mobile app upgrade, a new manager self-service experience, and expanded supplemental benefits, all tied to the February 2025 open enrollment window. The company is founder-led (Anurag Dandiya) and supported by a senior leadership team with prior experience at large HR outsourcing firms, plus a small internal headcount of 11-50 employees.

The business model is recurring service-fee based: clients pay per-employee-per-month (PEPM) or percentage-of-payroll PEO fees, with additional managed-services revenue from benefits and retirement plan administration and professional-services revenue from HR consulting and compliance work. The company runs a sales-led, relationship-driven GTM with an enterprise field sales team targeting SMBs to mid-market companies nationally, reporting a 98% client retention rate and noting that 65% of clients have remained with Anthros for 10+ years. Marketing is conducted primarily through content (blog and #AskAnthros Instagram Live series), email newsletters, and active participation in industry associations FAPEO and NAPEO. The company holds SOC 1 compliance certification via HRPyramid and has no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or public listing.
