Less time on HR. More time focused on your clients.
When you run a business like a law firm, CPA practice, consulting company, or medical office, your value is in your expertise—not in managing payroll, benefits paperwork, and HR compliance. But the administrative side of running your business doesn't go away just because it isn't what you do.
FrankCrum is a professional employer organization (PEO) built to handle the back-office complexity of running a professional business, so your team can focus on delivering results for your clients.

Industry Highlights
Accurate payroll for every pay structure, every pay period.
Professional services firms often have a mix of salaried professionals, hourly support staff, and varying pay structures. Add in remote workers and partners with different compensation arrangements, and payroll gets complicated fast. FrankCrum handles it accurately every pay period.
- Process payroll for salaried professionals, hourly staff, and mixed pay structures
- Federal, state, and local payroll taxes filed correctly with every payroll run
- Combine expert payroll support with easy-to-use technology
- Let employees check their own pay stubs, W-2s, and PTO balances in the HR platform, MyFrankCrum
- Manage multistate payroll and tax filings for firms operating across state lines
Enterprise-level benefits. Without the enterprise headcount.
In a knowledge-based industry where people are the product, keeping top talent is critical. A weak benefits package isn't just a recruiting problem; it's a retention risk. FrankCrum gives your company access to Fortune 500-level benefits through our large-group purchasing power.
- National health plans with major carriers
- Offer dental, vision, life, disability, and critical care that makes your package competitive
- Build long-term retention with 401(k) options for your team
- Give employees self-service access to their health benefits with the support of AskEmma, an AI-supported guide
Laws change. Your HR support stays consistent.
Even companies with experienced HR professionals can't keep up with everything. Employment law changes, multistate compliance requirements, and employee relations issues don't slow down because you're busy. FrankAdvice gives your firm direct access to experienced HR professionals who can help you handle it correctly.
- Get real HR guidance through FrankAdvice—not a generic help desk

Get new hires up and running without getting buried in paperwork.
When you land a new hire, a slow onboarding process creates a poor first impression and delays productivity. FrankCrum streamlines the process so your new team members can start contributing, not filling out forms.
- New hires complete their own tax forms, direct deposit, and employment verification online—no paper, no back-and-forth
- Complete onboarding paperwork digitally before day one, from any device
- Background check services available to support hiring due diligence
Better coverage. Less hassle.
Workers' comp may not be top of mind for a professional services firm, but it's often a legal requirement and an area where costs can be managed more effectively than most firms realize. FrankCrum's affiliated carrier, Frank Winston Crum Insurance, gives us direct control over your coverage—no third-party middleman, better rates, and faster claims handling.
- Pay-as-you-go premiums and no year-end audits
- Access FrankCrum's group workers' comp program for better rates
- Faster claims processing through our affiliated carrier
- One company for payroll, HR, and workers’ comp

Frequently Asked Questions
Does FrankCrum have experience working with professional services firms?
Yes. FrankCrum works with law firms, CPA practices, financial advisory firms, consulting companies, technology service providers, and medical offices. We understand that professional services businesses have a mix of credentialed professionals and support staff, often across multiple locations, and our services are aligned to support them.
How does co-employment work when my staff already have professional licenses or credentials?
Co-employment is purely administrative. FrankCrum handles payroll, benefits, and compliance. Your licensed professionals remain under your supervision and direction. Their credentials, client relationships, and professional standing aren't affected in any way by the co-employment arrangement.
We already have an HR person on staff. Why would we need a PEO?
A PEO isn't a replacement for internal HR; it's a force multiplier. Your HR person stops spending time on payroll processing, benefits administration, and compliance paperwork, and can focus on the strategic work that actually moves your business forward.
What happens to our benefits and payroll if we grow quickly or add a new office?
FrankCrum's platform scales with you. Adding employees or a new location doesn't require starting over. Your existing payroll, benefits, and HR structure carries forward as your firm grows.
Can we keep our existing benefits plans if we already have ones we like?
Sure. We can also administer your existing plan for a nominal fee. Please speak to a FrankCrum representative for details.
What if we already tried a PEO and it wasn't a good experience?
That's more common than you'd think. A lot of professional services firms have had experiences with PEOs that felt impersonal—a call center instead of a real contact, slow response times, or a platform that wasn't built for their business’s needs. FrankCrum's model is built around dedicated service relationships, not ticket queues.
