We help CFOs and PE sponsors identify, quantify, and control hidden payroll exposure before it surfaces in financials, due diligence, or litigation — using the proprietary Payroll Stability Index™.
Most payroll failures aren't caused by careless teams — they stem from misaligned governance, outdated systems, and complexity that multiplies faster than oversight.
A single tax misclassification, wage-and-hour exposure, or reporting gap can trigger regulatory action, back-pay liability, or a valuation haircut at the worst possible moment: during diligence or at exit.
Our proprietary PSI scoring model rapidly pinpoints exposure across all five governance pillars — giving you a board-ready risk picture before issues become crises.
A proprietary 0–100 risk scoring model that delivers a board-ready heatmap across five governance pillars — so leadership can see, own, and act on payroll exposure.
Institutional-grade payroll governance delivered across three core engagements — each anchored to the PSI framework.
In one recent PSI diagnostic on a 1,200-employee PE-backed portfolio company, we uncovered $3.5 million in previously unrecognized liabilities — fully remediated within 60 days, ahead of a planned exit process.
