Independent workforce advisory
Advisory built for how workforce decisions actually get made.
Choosing a PEO, an ASO, or an HCM platform isn’t an HR errand — it’s an operating decision that shapes cost, compliance, and leadership capacity for years. We help you make it deliberately, and independently.
Independent. Considered. Grounded in what real operators need.
Workforce advisory, since 2013
Advising operators through the decisions that shape their people infrastructure.
Our conviction
One vetted HCM | WFM partner — a recommendation, not a bake-off.
What we do
Two decisions shape the cost, compliance, and capacity of a growing workforce: how you outsource employment administration, and which platform runs it. BRG advises on both — independently on the first, with hard-won conviction on the second.
PEO / ASO Advisory
Independent guidance on co-employment and administrative-services outsourcing — what fits, what doesn’t, and why.
Explore →HCM | Workforce Management Advisory Services
A single vetted platform partner, held with conviction. Not a broker. Not a bake-off. A considered recommendation, backed by conviction.

Built for the people who carry the decision.
We work with a small number of relationships over many years — not a funnel of one-time transactions. The sectors we know best and the areas we advise on are both set out in full.
Mid-market operators
CEOs, CFOs, and heads of HR at mid-market companies weighing a PEO / ASO move or an HCM platform decision — and the multi-state compliance exposure underneath both.
PE operating partners & sponsors
Operating partners standardizing workforce infrastructure across a portfolio, and diligence teams pressure-testing a target’s people systems before and after close.
Channel & referral partners
Benefits brokers, employment counsel, CPA firms, and advisors who need a workforce specialist they can hand a client to without risking the relationship.
We would rather be your second conversation and your right answer than your first conversation and your compromise.

Independent
No products to sell, no quotas to hit. Our only obligation is to the decision in front of you.
Considered
We do the evaluation work before you commit — and we tell you plainly what we think, and why.
Grounded
Decades of advising operators through payroll, compliance, benefits, and platform decisions that actually stick.
How we work
A conversation, then a considered answer.
No proposal on day one. We understand the situation first, do the analysis, and give you an answer we’re prepared to stand behind.
01
The live discussion
A direct, no-pressure conversation about your workforce and what you’re actually deciding. No pitch.
02
The evaluation
We work the model, the market, the fit, and the compliance exposure — from the real shape of your workforce, not a checklist.
03
The recommendation
A clear, defensible answer: vendor-neutral on PEO / ASO, a single considered partner on HCM | WFM.
04
Through the transition
Scoping, sequencing, implementation, and the optimization that follows — the same senior people, start to finish.
The long view
A relationship business, not a lead funnel.
Buying cycles in our segment run 6 to 24 months; referral relationships take years to mature. Everything here is built to compound trust over that horizon — and to reward the returning visitor as much as the first-time one.

In their words
A seat at the table.
We’ve worked with BRG for ten-plus years. They’ve been instrumental in our decision-making — helping us control costs, evaluate options, and become more streamlined operationally. Essentially, they have a seat at the table as a trusted partner.
They took the time to understand our organization and its culture, then built a benefits program that exceeded our expectations — cost-effective and genuinely good for our people.
