How does BRG Advisory Group work, and what does it not do?
The short answer
BRG Advisory Group is a broker and advisory practice for PEO and ASO decisions. The employer is never charged: BRG is compensated by the provider that wins the business at the end of a competitive process, and the fee is set by the client’s own decision-making team. BRG is vendor-neutral on PEO and ASO, and on HCM it represents one platform partner, which it discloses in the first conversation.
This page states BRG’s own positions. It is general information, not legal, tax or benefits advice.
How BRG is paid
The employer pays nothing for guidance, market research or running the request for proposal, at any stage and whatever the outcome. BRG is compensated by the provider that wins the business, in the same way a PEO pays its own sales team. The fee is set by the client’s decision-making team rather than agreed privately with the provider.
If nothing put in front of the client meets its objectives, BRG is not compensated in any manner. A recommendation to stay where you are earns nothing, and the site says so.
What BRG is, and what it is not
BRG is a broker for PEO and ASO services and an advisory practice that runs a competitive process across the market and puts the responses on one basis before comparing them. It is not a PEO, not an ASO, not a software vendor and not a reseller. It does not sell or resell any product, and the client contracts directly with the provider.
Where BRG is vendor-neutral, and where it is not
On PEO and ASO, BRG is vendor-neutral and comparison-driven. On HCM and workforce management there is no placement to broker: BRG represents one vetted platform partner and holds a considered recommendation. These are different stances on purpose, and describing either as the other is wrong. The platform partner is not named publicly; it is disclosed in the first conversation.
What to check before you rely on us
Ask how BRG is paid in writing, ask which provider it represents on any given question, and ask for the comparison basis before you read a recommendation. If an answer is unclear, treat the lack of a clear answer as information and ask again. Have an attorney or a licensed advisor review any contract or benefits decision before you sign.
