“The acquisition of StaffLink Outsourcing marks another opportunity for PrestigePEO to expand throughout the country. StaffLink Outsourcing and PrestigePEO are extremely complementary entities and well-aligned for success. We are each entrepreneur founded and led, which is reflected in our management styles and corporate cultures. I have known Abram for many years, and we remained connected, most specifically through our involvement with the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations (NAPEO). I have always admired his management prowess, operational acumen, and the well-run organization he has built. We look forward to the impact the combined organization will have on SMBs nationwide,” noted Andrew Lubash, PrestigePEO founder and chief executive officer.

Coming on the heels of our recent acquisition of PathGoal, a PEO based in Raleigh, N.C., this merger further solidifies PrestigePEO’s leadership role in the growing PEO space, in particular its presence along the Eastern seaboard. We will work closely with management to continue identifying other strategic acquisition candidates to strengthen PrestigePEO’s offerings and extend its services geographically.”
