Get the humans & the resources you need to grow your portfolio companies

We've been in business for over 20 years, and although we've come to understand that technology is now a crucial part of human resources, the human element is simply irreplaceable. That's why we're here to provide you with certified HR professionals, as well as the technology you need to make your portfolio companies thrive. We'll help the business leaders of these companies who are in need of an HR team or human resources professionals who need more support.

For the past 10 years we have enjoyed a successful partnership with Stratus HR. Over this time we grew from a wireless retail business with 35 locations, 170 employees and $20M annual revenue to 140 locations, 1,200+ employees, and $100M in revenue. Stratus.hr’s expertise in areas of HR, benefits, payroll, taxes, legal matters and training have been integral part of our business operations."

Jeff, CFO & Co-owner Wireless retail, 1200+ Employees
There’s no way we could have grown in the way we have—and as quickly—without the help and support we’ve received from them. We just didn't have the resources in-house to seamlessly onboard 50 to 100 people at a time."

Chuck, HR Director Recovery Company, 400+ Employees
There’s a profile of clients that are going to do quite well in the PEO structure, those that need professional-level support and don't want to invest in the internal headcount to manage a full HR team. As an HR service provider, Stratus is a great solution. I would say they’re the best PEO that I've experienced."

David, Head of HR Manufacturing Company, 250+ Employees
We love Stratus! All of the staff is extremely responsive, thoughtful and educated. We love to think of Stratus as an extension of our HR team and all of you do a great job. We are so grateful to have you!"

Alarica, Owner Property management and hardware retail, 95 Employees
As a CPA firm, we have the necessary knowledge and resources to do our own payroll, but have found that outsourcing these services has freed our professional staff of administrative duties and lets them focus on client work. Our payroll processing with Stratus HR has been essentially seamless."

Farrell, Accountant CPA firm, 10 Employees
My employer has been with Stratus HR since I joined back in Oct 2020. Amazinggggg HR company, 10/10. Highly recommended, if you own a business… looking for a payroll department that you can trust. Stratus is your answer if you ask me. Keep it up, Stratus!"
