Bari Baumgardner
Founder, SAGE Event Management
As somewhat of an "accidental entrepreneur", I knew what I was good at, I knew what I loved doing, I knew the value I created, but as we grew, I was less confident in how to support a small team who wanted (and deserved) big company benefits and HR support. I hired Tilson early on. They freed me to focus on my zone of genius (which has undoubtedly led to more dollars in my business) but they also made me a stronger leader and a less stressed, more competitive employer. As a small business owner you quickly learn the value of ROI. This investment is a non-negotiable in our business.
Tom Britt
CEO, the Towne Post Network
As you get more and more employees, unless you have a system, unless you've got a partner or you've got HR nailed down, growing can be very very difficult for an internal staff but also a company will be held back because you don't have the structure in place to grow. Being able to partner with Tilson and have them as our outsourced HR allowed us to take that HR component off of our plate and let us focus on growing the business.
TJ Sponsel
Managing Shareholder, McGuire Sponsel
As our business grew to managing staff in multiple states and office locations, we decided we needed to look for an HR provider. And like we always do, being accountants and engineers, we like to vet our opportunities. That's how we came across Tilson. We talked to Tilson and two other providers and frankly, Tilson made a connection with us. We felt that our business was in great hands with them and it allowed us to continue to focus on the things we enjoy doing, serving our clients, developing our people, and letting a firm like Tilson handle the rest.

Founder/CEO, Bottleless Nation
When we decided to start the business, I told my business partner, the first thing you have to do is go see Brent. I wanted to focus on what I’m good at… I didn't want to handle some of this backend stuff I knew Tilson could handle. I'm a big PEO fan and have referred a lot of business to Tilson HR.
Entrepreneurs need to make sure their payroll taxes are paid. They need to make sure that they’ve got good benefits for their people. They need to make sure that they're focusing on their core business and let Tilson take care of the things that are critically important.
John Gottschall
CFO, Delta Zeta
Our human resources and payroll functions are complex — as our employees are nationwide, and operate in locations in multiple states. Tilson has exceeded our expectations.
Jason Williams
Vice President, Director of Operations, CPM Construction Planning & Management
Tilson has been an invaluable partner in navigating through the uncertainty of COVID-19. Our Tilson representative has been easy to contact, quick to reply and instrumental in all our responses related to the pandemic. Tilson has been essential in guiding us through establishing precautions, changing to work-from-home procedures and discussing how to phase employees back into the office environment when able. Their knowledge and demeanor have brought us comfort in knowing that we are making the correct decisions for our employees.
Cheryl Buffo
Program Manager, ASAP - Alliance for Substance Abuse Progress
As a new organization whose mission is to lead the effort to develop solutions to the substance abuse crisis in our community, it is critical that we focus our time and energy where we can have the greatest impact. Partnering with Tilson allows us to move forward with confidence, knowing that our HR and payroll needs are in the hands of experts.
Jeff Wuslich
Co-Founder and President, Cardinal Spirits
Tilson lets me sleep easier at night. Not only do I know that I'm compliant with various state and federal laws, but I also know that I have caring and invested experts checking my work. The team at Tilson is smart, passionate, and true partners.
Frank Kasnick
President and CEO, Independent Welding Distributors Coop
We look at Tilson as a true business partner. We focus on driving success in our industry for our cooperative on behalf of our Member owners and leave things we aren't big enough to handle internally to Tilson. HR matters, testing/screening candidates, 401K plan management, federal guidelines, medical plans to name a few are not in our core competencies but are certainly in Tilson's.
Scott Sego
CEO, End 2 End Managed Services
During this time of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Tilson HR staff and management have been paramount in our efforts to make the best decisions for our employees, company, and customers. The web series regarding the Paycheck Protection Program was fundamentally helpful in my decision to keep all of my team members working during this time.
At Tilson, we offer HR expertise for a full range of clients across the continental U.S. We understand that every business and industry is different, so we take an individualized approach to serving our clients. The following is a partial list of the industries that we serve.
As a small business is getting up and running, the employees and owners are “all hands on deck,” putting in the time and effort needed to grow the company. By partnering with Tilson you get access to a modern, integrated HR solution, access to Fortune 500-type benefits and big company HR resources and expertise at a fraction of the cost of doing it yourself.
Mid-sized companies have grown to a point where organizational structure becomes more important, they have multiple layers of management, and employee relations issues become more frequent and complex. The business evolves to adopt new policies and procedures to address the growth of the organization. Tilson provides the HR expertise, experience and solutions to help push your business through its next stage of growth.
When the business becomes larger, organizational structure is a necessity, attracting and retaining top talent is critical and becoming more operationally effective and efficient is a priority. Tilson provides the managed service solution to handle these complexities with our technology platform and HR professionals for today and as you grow into the future.
President and Founder of Alderson Commercial Group with 20+ employees, Tony Alderson, wanted to optimize time spent on payroll and all other human resource issues and focus on his core business. To solve this problem, Alderson hired Tilson in 2007.
