OVERVIEW
Your clients expect sharp work. Your employees expect benefits that match what the big firms offer.
You’re competing for skilled talent across the Atlanta metro and North Georgia markets. You’re managing benefit expectations from employees who know exactly what large firms offer. And you’re doing it while trying to run your practice.
Most firm principals carry all of this alone. They overpay for health insurance because they don’t have the headcount to get real group rates. They spend hours on HR paperwork that has nothing to do with billing clients.
OneSource PEO changes that. We handle payroll, HR, benefits, and compliance so you can focus on clients. We have served Georgia’s professional services firms since 1997.
CHALLENGES
The four biggest HR problems for professional services firms in Georgia
PROBLEM 01
Talent retention is a real competitive issue.
Your best CPAs, attorneys, and engineers are fielding offers from larger firms. Benefits are a primary reason people stay or leave. OneSource pools thousands of employees so your firm can offer group health, dental, vision, and 401(k) plans that compete with anyone.
PROBLEM 02
Payroll for billable professionals is not simple.
Salaried partners, hourly associates, bonus structures, contractor payments; professional services payroll has layers. OneSource handles the complexity accurately and on time, every pay cycle.
PROBLEM 03
Georgia employment law creates exposure for growing firms.
As firms grow past 15, 50, or 100 employees, new compliance obligations kick in. Misclassified contractors, outdated handbooks, and missing documentation are the most common triggers for costly disputes. OneSource keeps your HR foundation solid.
PROBLEM 04
HR administration pulls you away from billable work.
Every hour a partner spends on onboarding paperwork or a payroll issue is a billable hour lost.
SERVICES
What OneSource PEO provides for Professional Services Firms
Workers’ Compensation
Professional services firms carry lower comp rates than field-based industries, but coverage is still required and claims still happen. We handle your policy with pay-as-you-go administration and active claims management.
Payroll and HCM Technology
Accurate, on-time payroll for salaried professionals, hourly staff, and partners. Our platform handles complex pay structures including bonus calculations, multi-state payroll for remote employees, and garnishments.
Employee Benefits Pooling
Your firm accesses group health, dental, vision, and 401(k) plans at rates that rival large regional employers. You keep your best people without overpaying for coverage.
HR and Compliance
Employee handbook development, onboarding documentation, contractor classification guidance, and ongoing support for Georgia and federal employment law. When regulations change, we tell you what it means for your firm.
Dedicated Support
You get a real person who knows your account. When a benefits question comes up during a new associate’s first week, you reach someone who already knows your firm.

FAQs
Questions from Georgia professional services employers
We have a mix of salaried partners and hourly staff. Can you handle both in the same system?
Yes. Our payroll platform supports multiple pay types, pay frequencies, and employee classifications in a single system. You get accurate processing for everyone without managing separate payroll runs.
We use independent contractors as well as employees. Does a PEO still make sense?
Yes. A PEO manages your W-2 employees. OneSource also helps you review contractor classification to reduce misclassification exposure, one of the most common audit triggers for growing professional services firms.
Some of our employees work remotely in other states. Can you handle multi-state payroll?
Yes. We support multi-state payroll with the correct tax withholding, unemployment insurance, and compliance requirements for each state where your employees work. This is increasingly common for Georgia firms with remote staff.
How competitive are the benefits you offer compared to what large firms provide?
Very competitive. Because we pool thousands of employees across our client base, your firm accesses the same group rates that large regional employers negotiate. Health, dental, vision, and 401(k) plans unavailable to a 10-person firm, become accessible.
Georgia firms competing for skilled talent need more than a payroll vendor.
