About Sequent

Certification Status

Not IRS CPEO Certified

Sequent does not currently hold IRS CPEO certification. This does not necessarily indicate a problem — many reputable PEOs operate without it. We recommend verifying their financial stability, NAPEO membership, and state licensing directly.

Pros & Cons

+
Pros
✓
Midwest and Mid-Atlantic expertise
Deep knowledge of Ohio and surrounding state employment law, workers comp regulations, and compliance requirements that national providers may lack at the local level.
✓
Dedicated HR service model
Clients work with consistent HR professionals who develop deep familiarity with each business rather than being routed through a generic national support system.
✓
Full co-employment coverage
Comprehensive PEO services covering payroll, benefits, HR administration, and compliance support in a single co-employment arrangement.
✓
Regional carrier relationships
Established relationships with insurance carriers in Midwest markets provide competitive benefits access for businesses in their coverage area.
−
Cons
−
Regional footprint
Sequent is strongest in Ohio and the Midwest. Businesses with significant operations outside their core coverage area may find national PEOs better suited.
−
Smaller benefit pool
Regional scale means a smaller employee pool than national PEOs, which can affect competitiveness on certain health insurance plan pricing.
