Yes. PEO Consulting Partners is an independent PEO broker for employers in Arlington, VA, at no cost to you. Which PEO actually fits a Arlington business depends on your workers' compensation class codes, which here run heavily to defense & government contracting, technology and financial services, on the Virginia employment rules that apply locally, and on whether you run payroll in more than one state.

Compliance note: Arlington's federal contractors must navigate complex FAR compliance requirements alongside Virginia's employment laws. Amazon's presence has also raised the bar for competitive benefits.

PEOs we compare for Arlington businesses
Free, no-obligation comparison. We follow up same day.
The default for Northern VA federal contractors and mid-market multi-state employers; deepest compliance bench.
High-touch pick for Virginia professional services firms with federal contracting overlay.
Strong fit for Richmond and NoVA growth-stage tech and biotech.
Attorney-on-staff model fits Virginia's compliance-intensive federal contracting environment.
We place clients across Virginia, including Northern Virginia (Arlington/Alexandria/Fairfax), Richmond, Hampton Roads (Virginia Beach/Norfolk), Charlottesville. The right PEO often varies by metro because of regional service-team coverage.
Some PEOs handle it well; many do not. ADP TotalSource has the deepest SCA, DBA, AAP, and OFCCP experience. Diligence this specifically during evaluation, ask the PEO sales rep to walk you through their SCA wage determination workflow.
Competent PEOs apply VFMLA's 5-employee threshold automatically (vs. federal FMLA's 50-employee threshold), administer protected leave, coordinate with short-term disability, and maintain the documentation a Virginia employer needs.
Yes, but security clearance and DCAA compliance considerations narrow the list. ADP TotalSource has the most NoVA defense-contractor experience. Vensure handles some defense-supply-chain clients.
There is no Virginia rate to quote you. A 25 to 75 employee Virginia SMB is priced on headcount, states, workers' compensation class codes and the benefits census, and federal contracting compliance adds work that shows up in the quote. Only two PEOs on our panel publish a rate on their own website, Justworks (PEO Basic $79, PEO Plus $124 per employee per month) and Deel PEO (starting at $125); everyone else quotes per client. Compare several quotes on the same census with the admin fee, medical and workers comp separated.
