About Current HR

Current HR, LLC is a Fort Wright, Kentucky-based Professional Employer Organization launched in January 2021 by CEO Charlie Vance and COO Megan O Brien, both veterans of the regional HR and PEO industry. The company was formed alongside partners from DBL Law and Blue and Co., an accounting and consulting firm with offices across Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana, giving Current HR direct legal and accounting expertise built into its founding team. Current HR is ESAC accredited and serves employers across Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, with services spanning HR administration, employee benefits, workers compensation, payroll processing, and a self-service HR technology platform with mobile access. Clients cited in company materials include organizations in medical wholesale distribution, post-secondary education, and nonprofit child services, reflecting a client base weighted toward the Tri-State Ohio Valley region. As a newer entrant compared with legacy regional PEOs, Current HR positions itself around direct access to its founding HR, legal, and accounting leadership rather than call-center-style support.

Certifications

ESAC Accredited PEO

Current HR holds ESAC accreditation — a distinction held by roughly 10% of PEOs in the United States.

Financial Assurance
ESAC backs accredited PEOs like Current HR with over $15 million in surety bond coverage, protecting clients, employees, and taxing authorities.
Independent Audits
Accredited PEOs submit quarterly independent verifications of tax, benefit, and payroll obligations to maintain their accreditation.

Pros & Cons

+
Pros
Experienced founding team
Led by HR and PEO industry veterans with legal and accounting firm partnerships built into the launch.
ESAC accredited
Meets ESAC bonding, insurance, and compliance standards as a relatively young company.
Regional focus
Concentrated coverage of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana rather than spreading thin across many states.
Modern HR technology
Offers a mobile-accessible, self-service HR platform for day-to-day administration.
Cons
No IRS CPEO certification
Does not currently carry the added federal tax liability protections of CPEO status.
Shorter track record
Launched in 2021, so it has a much shorter operating history than most established regional PEOs.
Limited geographic reach
Coverage is limited to a three-state Tri-State region, not a fit for multi-state employers outside that footprint.
PEO Authority Editorial Note

Current HR is a newer regional PEO built by experienced HR, legal, and accounting professionals rather than a startup entering the industry cold. Its 2021 launch means it does not have the multi-decade track record of older regional competitors, but its ESAC accreditation and the legal and accounting partnerships built into its founding team are meaningful signals of operational rigor for a young company. Current HR does not currently hold IRS CPEO certification. Best for: small and mid-sized employers in the Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana Tri-State region that want a regionally focused PEO with direct access to experienced leadership.
