Our team handles payroll administration, workers' comp, HR compliance, and benefits for employers in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky. Each service area page below covers state-specific regulatory context, local industry information, and the full scope of what FRM manages for employers in that region.

FRM at a Glance: Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, FRM serves ~500 clients and 10,000+ worksite employees across seven Southeast states. Our team brings 100+ years of combined industry experience in multi-state payroll, HR administration, workers' comp, and benefits.

Working with a Regional PEO

National PEO providers tend to apply the same processes regardless of state. That creates friction when you're dealing with the Kentucky Labor Cabinet, the Louisiana Workforce Commission, or North Carolina's NCDOL; agencies with their own filing requirements, deadlines, and enforcement priorities. FRM's team has direct experience navigating those agencies across each state we serve.

Our co-employment structure gives businesses of most sizes access to large-group workers' comp rates, Fortune 500 benefit plans, and automated payroll tax filing, without building a dedicated HR department internally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which states does FRM currently serve?

FRM currently serves employers in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky. Our multi-state payroll and HR platform is built to handle the unique compliance requirements of each Southeast state, including border state payroll situations where your workforce crosses state lines.

How does a PEO help with my company's cash flow?

Our "Pay-As-You-Go" workers' comp model and automated payroll tax administration mean you aren't tied up in large deposits or unexpected year-end audit adjustments. This keeps your capital free for investment and growth.

Can I keep my existing insurance agent?

In many cases, yes. We often work alongside your existing brokers to provide the administrative engine (payroll and HR) that powers your existing coverage, or we can provide a complete, integrated solution.

Protect your Southeast business and empower your workforce.

If you're an employer in any of our service areas and want to understand how a PEO arrangement works, or what FRM specifically handles, reach out and we'll walk you through it.
