About Us
Mission – Our Core Purpose
To deliver high touch HR services and benefits that bring peace of mind to business owners and employees.
PrestigePEO was founded by current partner and CEO Andrew “Andy” Lubash in 1998. Working as insurance brokers at the time, Andy and his partner noticed his clients needed more than just employee benefits – they needed full-service support to help them manage the process, and other HR operations, end-to-end.
Recognizing the market gap, Lubash went on to offer turnkey solutions tailored to each client’s specific needs, which led to greater demand as clients realized the value of this kind of comprehensive HR support. Andy partnered with brokers like himself to expand his business, eventually building out a robust team of experienced professionals to help his clients with all aspects of employee benefits and HR management.
As the business grew, Prestige Employee Administrators evolved into the full-service PEO it is now. PrestigePEO provides integrated, end-to-end outsourced solutions to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) for managing all integral benefits and human resources operations. This includes support for employee benefits management, payroll administration, workers’ compensation, compliance, and HR guidance, among other areas. PrestigePEO’s full spectrum of solutions helps SMBs lower employee benefit costs, reduce administrative workloads, and manage critical HR functions. And since we’re a PEO founded by brokers, we remain committed to expanding our broker partnerships as well.
You started your business because you had a great idea.
We started ours to take care of the rest.
PrestigePEO is among only 1% of PEOs accredited by the Employer Services Assurance Corporation (ESAC), certified (CI) through Workers Comp Risk Management and classified as a Certified Professional Employer Organization (CPEO) by the IRS – demonstrating financial stability and strict adherence with a diverse range of regulatory and security standards. This level of accreditation ensures full financial protection for each of our clients.
PrestigePEO is ranked #13 out of over 523 PEOs nationwide and licensed to support clients in all 50 states.
