Apply for Accreditation

Ready to get started?
Any PEO or PEO Group is eligible to apply for accreditation. ESAC will hold information submitted by an applicant and the fact that an applicant has applied in strict confidence as provided by ESAC's procedures and agreements.
 
ESAC's step-by-step online application along with ongoing staff assistance will help make your accreditation process convenient and efficient.
 
 

Here's how to get your application underway

Step 1

Contact Jane McCoggins for an overview of services and the application process. We'll schedule a conversation with your PEO's management team to ensure everyone is familiar with ESAC's services and requirements.
Step 2

Submit a list of responsible persons and required financial information for a confidential evaluation. We’ll discuss what is needed during our initial call.
Step 3

Sign an application agreement and submit it to ESAC along with your $5,000 application fee, which will be credited to your first-year accreditation/bond fees upon accreditation.
Step 4

Work with your independent CPA to provide the required online verification of your PEO's tax and benefits payments for the most recent calendar quarter. During our call, we can discuss the agreed-upon procedures to be provided to your CPA for this verification process.
Step 5

Complete ESAC's online accreditation application and upload the required supporting documents. ESAC’s team will guide and support you throughout the entire process.

ESAC's review and approval process will take about 4-6 weeks once your application has been fully completed.

What does accreditation cost?

ESAC's accreditation and bond fee expenses can be significantly offset through use of ESAC's regulatory and bonding services.
