YCO & Associates, Inc.

YCO & Associates, Inc. Is a Cape Coral, Florida-based Professional Employer Organization (PEO) and HR outsourcing firm that gives small and mid-size businesses a practical way to offload the administrative burden of managing a workforce. By handling payroll, insurance, benefits, and compliance on their behalf, YCO lets business owners put more time and energy into running their core operations. Founded in 1999 as a family-owned company, YCO provides a full range of back-office HR services: payroll processing, workers' compensation insurance, employee benefits administration, risk management, claims management, safety training, and HR compliance support including company manuals and handbooks. PEO services are delivered through YCO's sister company, 3J & Associates, giving clients a single point of contact for all their workforce administration and outsourcing needs. YCO serves businesses across Florida, Georgia, Missouri, and Indiana, and is licensed to operate in all four states with AM Best A-Rated insurance carriers. Clients that have turned over their HR administration to YCO report reclaiming up to 45% of their time. According to NAPEO data, businesses that use a PEO for at least one full calendar year are 50% less likely to fail, and they experience 14% less annual employee turnover compared to companies that handle HR in-house. Operationally, YCO takes a hands-on approach. The team speaks English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole, a practical asset for businesses with multilingual workforces. Clients work directly with staff rather than navigating automated phone systems, and the company holds active memberships in chambers of commerce across Florida, Georgia, and Missouri. YCO is also a member of NAPEO, the leading national trade association for the PEO industry. For businesses spending too much time on payroll paperwork and HR compliance and not enough on growth, YCO & Associates offers a free consultation.
