History

Established in 1974.

After building a successful CPA practice, Kent Ahlswede recognized a pattern among business owners. All of them loved their business, but seemed so frustrated with having employees, dealing with payroll, and having to focus on matters that didn’t directly relate to generating revenue. After hearing about the Professional Employer Organization (PEO) industry, where business owners could essentially outsource all of these things to one company, Kent had an «aha» moment. He decided to open his own PEO, and in 1974, Staff Resources was born.

Given our history in the PEO industry, human resource management and payroll is in our DNA. We are proud to still be a family-​owned business. This allows us to make decisions and take actions that benefit our clients without having to answer to shareholders. And we remain committed to being your best business decision with our goal of providing «Peace of Mind».

Business Owner

Kent founded Staff Resources, Inc. in 1974 (now known as Allevity HR & Payroll) after devoting twenty years to his successful CPA practice. As a CPA, Kent recognized small to mid-​size employers faced payroll, personnel and compliance liabilities that detracted from their ability to effectively manage their businesses. Consequently, SRI was conceptualized and formed. Over the last twenty-​five years, he has been instrumental in developing both the California and National Organization, formerly known as the National Staff Leasing Association. Kent has been and continues to be highly active in the development of legislation and regulatory practices on both the state and federal levels.
