About
PEO Support Built Around People
J. Gregory PEO helps employers manage payroll, human resources, employee benefits, workers’ compensation, and compliance responsibilities through one hands-on relationship.
But the real strength of our company is not a list of services. It is the people at J. Gregory PEO—and the care, experience, and determination they bring to every client relationship.
We listen first. We work to understand what each business needs. Then we bring the right people together to help reduce administrative burden, improve efficiency, and create an experience that makes clients say, “WOW.”
Why J. Gregory PEO Was Founded
Before founding J. Gregory PEO, Greg Howard spent years working in sales and the professional employer organization industry. He saw firsthand the value a strong PEO relationship could bring to a business. He also saw what happened when leadership changed, promises were not kept, or the service clients received did not match the experience they had been promised.
Greg wanted more control over that experience. He wanted the ability to build a company the right way, surround himself with the right people, and stand behind the service clients received.
That idea became J. Gregory PEO.
The company planted its roots in 2020, during a period of tremendous uncertainty for employers. Starting in that environment reinforced principles that still guide us today: stay steady, listen before reacting, take care of people, and keep improving.
J. Gregory PEO was created to give capable business owners and decision-makers an experienced partner—one that handles important employer responsibilities with professionalism, empathy, and personal attention.
Building a Company Like a Team
Greg’s approach to leadership was shaped in part by his years as a youth football coach.
A strong team does not come together by accident. You find the right players, put them in positions where they can contribute, help them develop, and establish a standard everyone is committed to meeting.
That same thinking guides J. Gregory PEO.
We look for people who care about doing good work. People who listen, take ownership, learn from mistakes, and want to be better than they were yesterday. We give them opportunities to grow and trust them to bring their judgment and experience to the businesses we serve.
Not every person plays the same role, but every role matters. When the right people work together, clients feel the difference.
The People at J. Gregory PEO
Ask what makes J. Gregory PEO different, and the answer always comes back to our people.
Our team understands that payroll, HR, benefits, workers’ compensation, and compliance are not isolated administrative functions. They affect real employees, business decisions, workplace relationships, and the confidence an employer has in moving forward.
That is why we take the time to listen.
Clients often come to us with an issue that needs thoughtful attention—a process that could be more efficient, an employee matter that requires experienced HR guidance, a workers’ compensation claim that needs coordination, or employer responsibilities they would prefer to manage through a more connected PEO relationship.
Our job is to understand what is happening, bring the right people into the conversation, and handle our part with care and professionalism.
We may use technology and AI behind the scenes to work more efficiently, but J. Gregory PEO will remain a hands-on company. Technology should help our people serve clients better. It should never replace the human relationship at the center of the work.
What Does “WOW” Mean at J. Gregory PEO?
“WOW” is Greg’s shorthand for an experience that exceeds expectations.
Sometimes it is the relief a client feels when a difficult issue has been handled well. Sometimes it is a fast, thoughtful response at the moment it matters most. It may be the professionalism of the team, the clarity of the communication, or the realization that the people supporting the business genuinely care about the outcome.
For us, “WOW” is not a slogan. It is a standard.
We want clients to feel heard, supported, and confident in the people working beside them. That trust is earned through the way we respond, the way we solve problems, and the way we follow through.

Compliance Support
Experienced support that helps employers keep important processes and documentation organized as requirements and business needs evolve.
Competitive for the Right Reasons
We are competitive, but not simply for the sake of being bigger.
We want to improve. We want to serve clients better than we did yesterday. We want our employees to grow, take pride in their work, and carry what they learn into other parts of their lives.
Growth matters because it gives us the opportunity to help more businesses and more people. At the same time, growth cannot come at the expense of the personal service that brought us here.
Our goal is not to become a large, impersonal provider. It is to build a strong company that can grow while staying close to its clients, developing its people, and protecting the service experience that makes J. Gregory PEO different.
