About InTandem Human Resources

InTandem HR is a Denver, Colorado-based IRS CPEO certified Professional Employer Organization founded in 2010 by Monica Denler, President and CEO. One of the first PEOs in the country to receive IRS CPEO certification, InTandem HR positions itself as the "HR team down the street" — a local, personalized alternative to large national PEOs. The company serves small and mid-sized businesses across all 50 states with payroll, employee benefits, HR administration, workers' compensation, and compliance. InTandem HR is particularly known for its community commitment: the company established the InTandem HR Foundation in 2017 to advocate for women, children, and healthcare organizations in the Denver community, and provides two paid volunteer days per year to all staff. The company also works with nonprofit clients at significantly reduced service fees.

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. InTandem Human Resources holds CPEO status — a distinction held by fewer than 15% of PEOs in the United States.

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