Nextep

Nextep is an industry-leading, IRS-certified Professional Employer Organization (PEO) dedicated to assisting small and medium-sized businesses across the United States. Founded in 1997 by Brian Fayak, the company was established with the vision of providing smaller companies with the same level of benefits and advanced technology typically available only to large corporations, while still delivering the personal service and flexibility of a smaller organization. Nextep specializes in a comprehensive suite of HR solutions, including payroll and tax administration, employee benefits management, human resources consulting, workers' compensation, and risk and compliance management. By partnering with Nextep, businesses can offload these complex administrative tasks, allowing them to focus on their core operations and growth.

The company's mission is to provide exceptional service through a commitment to integrity, technology, and its people. This philosophy drives every aspect of their operations, from client interactions to employee development. Nextep prides itself on its technology-driven platform, which includes the 'Elevate by Nextep' mobile app, designed to give employees and administrators easy access to manage HR and benefits information on the go. This commitment to innovation and a people-first approach has earned Nextep numerous accolades, including being recognized as a Best Place to Work in Oklahoma and receiving the 2025 Best of HR Services Award for service excellence. Headquartered in Norman, Oklahoma, Nextep serves clients in all 50 states, supported by a team that is committed to elevating the employment experience and enriching people's lives.
