About Genesis HR Solutions

Genesis HR Solutions is a Burlington, Massachusetts-based IRS CPEO certified and ESAC accredited Professional Employer Organization founded in 1991. New England's largest PEO for over three decades, Genesis was among the first PEOs in the country to receive IRS CPEO certification in 2017 and has maintained ESAC accreditation continuously since 1996. In November 2022, Genesis HR Solutions was acquired by Engage PEO, expanding Engage's New England presence while allowing Genesis to retain its brand name and Burlington headquarters as a joint center of New England operations. The combined entity serves small and mid-sized businesses across all 50 states with payroll, benefits, HR compliance, workers' compensation, and risk management, with particularly deep expertise in Massachusetts employment law and the New England business environment.

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. Genesis HR Solutions holds CPEO status — a distinction held by fewer than 15% of PEOs in the United States.

Federal Tax Liability
As a CPEO, Genesis HR Solutions 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
Genesis HR Solutions files employment taxes under their own EIN as CPEO, simplifying your year-end tax obligations and eliminating duplicate filings.
