INVO PEO

What INVO PEO does

INVO PEO is a privately held Professional Employer Organization (PEO) headquartered in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, founded in 2009. Operating under a co-employment model, INVO assumes responsibility for non-revenue-generating processes on behalf of client companies — including payroll processing, employment tax filing, benefits administration, workers' compensation coverage, risk management, time and attendance tracking, policy and handbook creation, and multi-state compliance — across 37 U.S. states. The company targets small to medium-sized businesses, startups, and organizations in verticals such as construction, hospitality, manufacturing, professional services, and temporary staffing, where internal HR infrastructure is limited.

The platform backbone is a cloud-based Human Resources Information System (HRIS) powered by PrismHR, accessed via dedicated employee and client portals, that enables 24/7 self-service for payroll, employee records, and deductions. Around this core, INVO has assembled a 14-module service suite covering benefits administration, compliance services, employee handbooks, employee retention, group health insurance, online payroll, risk management, small business payroll, tax services, time and attendance, time clock, workers' compensation, and certificate of insurance (COI) processing. The company differentiates primarily on regulatory expertise — anchored by a 2017 Workers' Compensation Risk Management Best Practices Certification from the Certification Institute — and on the cost advantage of pooling SMBs into a single risk pool for better benefits and insurance pricing.

INVO employs 51-100 staff and distributes services through direct sales (phone, email, website contact) supported by content marketing via its blog and newsletter. No pricing is publicly disclosed; fees are quoted per client based on employee count, industry, and service scope. Revenue is generated on a recurring subscription/service-fee basis tied to the co-employment relationship, but no revenue figure is publicly disclosed in available sources.

Direct peers

• Insperity: Insperity is one of the largest publicly traded PEOs in the U.S., offering co-employment, payroll, benefits, HR and risk management to SMBs. Direct competitor to INVO PEO in the same product category with similar bundled-service model and target market, but operating at vastly larger scale.
• Paychex PEO: Paychex's PEO division offers co-employment services including payroll, benefits, HR and workers' comp to SMBs, closely matching INVO's offering. National scale and brand recognition make Paychex the benchmark SMB PEO competitor.
• TriNet: TriNet provides PEO-style HR outsourcing, payroll, benefits administration and compliance to small and mid-sized businesses, with particular strength in professional services and tech verticals. Competes head-on with INVO PEO for SMB co-employment relationships.
• BBSI: BBSI is a PEO with deep vertical focus on construction, manufacturing and logistics — the same high-WC verticals INVO targets — offering payroll, risk management and workers' comp solutions. Highly relevant peer given the overlap in target industries and co-employment model.
• Vensure HR: Vensure HR is a multi-state PEO delivering payroll, benefits, risk management and workers' comp to SMBs across industries including construction and hospitality. Directly comparable PEO peer with co-employment model and similar vertical mix.
• Oasis Outsourcing: Oasis Outsourcing (now Oasis) is a PEO offering co-employment, payroll, benefits administration and HR outsourcing to small and mid-sized U.S. employers. Direct competitor with similar service bundle and target market profile.
• G&A Partners: G&A Partners is a Houston-based PEO providing co-employment, payroll, benefits, HR and risk management to SMBs and mid-market firms across multiple U.S. states. Comparable mid-sized PEO peer with similar service breadth and SMB focus.

Broad incumbents

• ADP TotalSource: ADP TotalSource is the PEO arm of ADP, one of the world's largest payroll providers, offering co-employment, benefits, HR outsourcing and compliance. It overlaps INVO's full PEO service stack but is offered as part of ADP's broader payroll/HCM portfolio rather than a specialized PEO niche.

Emerging players

• Justworks: Justworks is a tech-forward PEO/HR platform serving SMBs with automated payroll, benefits and compliance, more focused on the lower end of the SMB market than INVO. Represents the modern, software-led direction the broader PEO category is moving toward.

Regional players

• FrankCrum: FrankCrum is a PEO headquartered in Florida serving SMBs across the southeastern U.S. with payroll, benefits and HR outsourcing. Comparable mid-tier PEO with similar service mix and SMB focus, competing regionally with INVO's Tennessee base.
