LENEXA, KS - Axcet HR Solutions (Axcet) has been awarded Certified PEO (CPEO) status by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Axcet is honored to be among the first 84 professional employer organizations to receive this designation.
The IRS established this voluntary certification program for PEOs as part of the Small Business Efficiency Act (SBEA) of 2014. To be certified under the new program, Certified PEOs must have a documented history of federal, state, and local tax compliance, financial responsibility, as well as organizational integrity. The voluntary, yet rigorous, the certification process is aimed at identifying the PEOs that meet the high standards for compliance set by the IRS.
