Texas-based mid-market PEO peer to G&A
Questco is an IRS-certified PEO that quotes companies of 10 to 250 employees, most often Texas and Sun Belt SMBs (10 to 250 employees). Texas-rooted mid-market PEO with deep local relationships and Houston Business Journal 'Best Places to Work' recognition. CPEO yes but no ESAC accreditation, a credential gap vs. peers like G&A Partners that's worth flagging for compliance-sensitive buyers.
Our take
Questco is a credible Texas mid-market alternative to G&A Partners for buyers in Houston, DFW, Austin, and San Antonio. They typically come in at competitive pricing and the Texas local relationships are real. The ESAC gap is worth flagging: if your CFO or auditor specifically asks about ESAC, G&A or another ESAC-accredited option may be the better recommendation.
