The support your workforce needs, without changing your structure.
An Administrative Services Organization (ASO) is a flexible partnership that helps businesses manage critical administrative functions like payroll, HR, compliance, and tax filings while you remain the sole employer of record. You maintain full control of your workforce and existing structure, with added support to enhance how your operations run day to day.
At Pinnacle Employee Services, we work alongside your team to provide expert guidance, streamlined processes, and responsive support. Our ASO model is designed to strengthen your infrastructure, improve efficiency, and reduce administrative burden without changing how your business is set up.

Support that strengthens your team, without changing your structure.
You Lead
You remain the employer of record, maintaining full control over your workforce, policies, and decisions.
We Advise & Support
We consult your team on HR and compliance matters, helping you build customized handbooks and policies.
We’re here as a resource for questions around unemployment, leave of absence, and day-to-day workforce challenges.
We Execute Payroll
We process your payroll accurately and efficiently every cycle, including tax filings and reporting.
If you’re ready for a more hands-on approach, a PEO may be the right next step.
With a PEO, Pinnacle Employee Services takes on a greater role in managing your workforce. Through a co-employment model, we help reduce your exposure to risk, provide access to competitive benefits, and handle more of the day-to-day HR administration for you.
When It Makes Sense:
- You want to reduce compliance and employment-related risk
- You need access to stronger benefits options
- Your team is stretched and needs more support
- You’re ready to offload HR administration
