IRS Certification

IRS Certified PEO (CPEO)
Certification active · Verified by PEO Authority
Certified ✓

The IRS Certified PEO (CPEO) designation is awarded by the Internal Revenue Service to PEO companies that meet rigorous standards for financial health, tax compliance, and operational integrity. America's Back Office holds CPEO status — a distinction held by fewer than 15% of PEOs in the United States.

Federal Tax Liability
As a CPEO, America's Back Office assumes sole liability for federal employment taxes on wages paid — protecting your business from tax exposure.
Annual Financial Audits
CPEOs undergo independent CPA audits annually and must maintain a surety bond, ensuring fiscal accountability and solvency.
IRS Reporting
America's Back Office files employment taxes under their own EIN as CPEO, simplifying your year-end tax obligations and eliminating duplicate filings.

Pros & Cons

+
Pros
Only Michigan-Based IRS CPEO
As the only IRS-certified PEO headquartered in Michigan, ABO offers Michigan businesses a unique combination: CPEO-level federal tax compliance and assurance with local market knowledge, accessible account teams, and in-person service availability.
True 50-State and Territory Coverage
ABO serves clients in all 50 states plus Virgin Islands, Guam, and Puerto Rico - making it one of the few independent CPEOs with genuine national coverage. Companies with employees in territories or remote locations can consolidate HR under a single provider.
Deep Leadership Team Experience
Over 300 combined years of HR expertise across the ABO director and leadership team means clients have access to seasoned professionals who have worked through industry cycles, regulatory changes, and diverse client scenarios over decades.
Cons
Smaller Firm Relative to National PEOs
As an independent PEO rather than a division of a major payroll or financial services company, ABO operates at a smaller scale. Benefit plan variety and technology investment may not match providers like ADP TotalSource or Insperity.
Lower Brand Recognition
Unlike nationally marketed PEOs, ABO operates with a lower public profile outside of Michigan. Businesses that rely on broad market validation when selecting a vendor may find fewer third-party reviews and case studies available for comparison.
PEO Authority Editorial Note

Americas Back Office (ABO) is the only IRS-certified PEO headquartered in Michigan, giving it a distinct advantage for businesses in that state seeking CPEO-level compliance assurance. Founded in 1998 in Sterling Heights, the company serves clients across all 50 states and US territories, combining its national reach with the personalized service ethos of a Michigan-based independent operation.
