ABOUT SE INSURANCE SERVICES

​​

Founded in 2013, SE Insurance Services is an independent consulting firm specializing in healthcare, employee benefits, and HR infrastructure solutions for small businesses across the United States.
 

​We serve organizations ranging from 2 to 100+ employees across a broad range of industries — from white-collar sectors such as financial services, professional services (accounting, law, consulting, real estate, technology, marketing), and nonprofits, to blue- and gray-collar businesses in staffing, recruiting, transportation, and hospitality.

​

Our role is straightforward: helping employers make informed, cost-effective decisions around benefits, HR, and compliance — without bias, pressure, or unnecessary complexity.

​​​​​

UNBIASED ACCESS TO ALL MAJOR PEOs & OPEN-MARKET BENEFITS

​

SE Insurance Services works with all major Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) as well as the traditional open (small-group) market, giving clients access to the full spectrum of employee benefits and HR solutions.

​

This allows us to recommend what truly fits your organization — financially, operationally, and culturally — rather than what is easiest to place or most profitable to sell.

​

We are not a PEO and are not tied to any single provider. Our sole role is to act as an independent advisor and advocate on behalf of our clients.

​

COMPREHENSIVE BENEFITS & HR INFRASTRUCTURE​

​

In addition to PEO consulting, we work with leading payroll and HRIS platforms to streamline employee data management and HR processes.

​

We also provide a full suite of open-market benefits beyond healthcare, including:

​

  • Dental and vision insurance

  • Workers’ compensation

  • Short- and long-term disability

  • Group life insurance

  • Ancillary and supplemental benefits

​​​​

MEET STEVE EDNEY — PRESIDENT

 

Steve Edney is the President of SE Insurance Services and a licensed Life, Accident & Health Insurance Broker. With over 14 years of experience in the PEO, healthcare, and employee benefits sectors, Steve has held leadership roles at firms including TriNet, PrestigePEO, and USI Insurance Services.

​

The firm’s mission is simple: to help small businesses simplify and optimize employee benefits, HR, and compliance strategies while reducing administrative burden. Whether through a PEO partnership or independent market solutions, SE Insurance Services is committed to identifying the right fit for each client.

 

Leveraging long-standing relationships with leading PEOs — including ExtensisHR, PrestigePEO, Justworks, VensureHR, Engage PEO, ADP TotalSource, Insperity, TriNet, CoAdvantage, InfinityHR, and G&A Partners — as well as strategic partnerships such as Emerson Rogers, Steve delivers tailored solutions aligned with each client’s operational and financial objectives.

​

Whether your organization is seeking competitive healthcare pricing, scalable HR infrastructure, or long-term benefits strategy, SE Insurance Services provides solutions designed to improve efficiency, stability, and financial outcomes.

​

WHY CHOOSE SE INSURANCE SERVICES?

​

SE Insurance Services is not a PEO. We are your independent advisor, focused on identifying the best-fit solution — whether through a PEO model or the open market. Our independence ensures recommendations that are objective, strategic, and client-focused.

​

What Sets Us Apart:

​

No Client Fees
Our consulting services are fully compensated by the selected PEO or insurance carrier — never by our clients.

 

Negotiation Leverage & Pricing Discipline
With deep knowledge of PEO underwriting mechanics, established carrier relationships, and disciplined negotiation strategy, we consistently secure stronger pricing and terms than employers typically obtain directly.

 

Strategic Guidance
Every PEO differs in technology, service structure, fees, compliance support, and renewal methodology. We simplify the comparison process and provide clarity around long-term cost implications.

 

Aligned Interests
Our success is directly tied to placing clients in the right solution. When our clients win, we win.

​​​​​​​​​

AVOID RETAIL PRICING

​​

Comparing PEOs independently can be time-consuming and difficult. Each provider structures quotes differently, often making it challenging to evaluate costs and benefits consistently.

​

SE Insurance Services:

​

  • Simplifies the evaluation process

  • Clarifies line-item cost structures

  • Protects against renewal surprises

  • Negotiates strategically on your behalf

  • Ensures you receive the right solution at the right structure

​​

Avoid retail pricing. Leverage independent advisory expertise.
