Where Opportunity Meets Talent

Most acquisitions focus on systems, contracts, and growth metrics. At Questco, we look first at people. Our M&A strategy is rooted in recognizing talent, creating opportunity, and building long-term career pathways. Kelly, Casey, and Mark are just a few examples of how Questco unlocks potential within every organization we acquire.

Kelly's Story

Kelly ran the day-to-day operations for a PEO Questco acquired in Colorado Springs in 2020. Her attention to detail and exceptional acumen for compliance-related matters were evident from the start. Since joining Questco, she has been promoted multiple times and now serves as National Director of Compliance, acting as a key resource for client-specific compliance matters across more than 35,000 worksite employees.

Casey's Story

Casey worked in the local office of a PEO Questco acquired in Arizona in 2019, supporting HR services, payroll processing, and local office operations. Through Questco, she was able to relocate to her home state of Montana and now serves as one of three Regional Directors of Client Services. In this role, she provides executive-level support throughout the Mountain West and supervises a team of five certified client service professionals.

 

Mark's Story

Mark was the sole salesperson for a PEO in Maine that Questco acquired in 2024. Recognizing his strong business acumen and leadership potential, Questco established Mark as VP of Growth – New England Markets. He is currently building and managing a sales team that will grow to approximately 10 producers by mid-2026.
