April 30, 2024 HOUSTON – G&A Partners, a leading national professional employer organization (PEO) and human resources outsourcing (HRO) provider, announced today the acquisition of Teamworks Group, a prominent PEO and HR outsourcing provider based in Provo, Utah.

Founded by David McDougal, Teamworks Group has been providing exceptional customer service and strategic HR solutions to small businesses since 1996. The PEO has experienced substantial growth under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Morgan Taylor and Chief Operating Officer Marshall Paxson who, prior to joining Teamworks Group, founded Docent HR. Teamworks Group and Docent HR merged in January 2020.

“Teamworks represents our fifth acquisition in the growing Utah market,” said G&A president and CEO John W. Allen, who has strong roots in Utah. Allen spent most of his childhood in Utah, then returned to attend the University of Utah and Brigham Young University. “Our first acquisition in Utah was Core Innovative Solutions almost 14 years ago, followed by Focus Management, AscendHR, and Pay Pros. Together we now serve over 730 clients and 14,000 worksite employees from offices in South Jordan and Provo. This gives us the purchasing power to offer our small-business clients competitive employee benefits, robust retirement plans, and state-of-the-art technology. This, in turn, gives them the time and resources to grow.”

Teamworks Group Chairman of the Board Travis Hansen, who played collegiate basketball with G&A Chief Revenue Officer John G. Allen at BYU, had followed G&A’s journey over the years and shared a passion for HR with his former teammate.

“We’re both pretty passionate about the HR space and bringing great service and products to the customers,” says Travis, who also owns EddyHR, an administrative services organization based in Provo, Utah. “John and his dad [John W. Allen] are full of integrity, hardworking, kind and honest, and incredible at what they do.”

Though Hansen will be focused on EddyHR and other business endeavors, EddyHR will refer clients who are in need of PEO services to G&A. Taylor and Paxson will continue to support the Teamworks Group staff and clients.

“We are thrilled to embark on this journey as we join forces with G&A Partners,” Taylor said. “Together, we will expand our reach, which opens new possibilities and allows us to leverage our combined strengths to deliver unparalleled solutions and support to our clients. I am immensely proud of what we have achieved thus far, and I cannot wait to see the incredible impact we will make together as one unified team.”

This acquisition will expand G&A Partners’ presence in Utah County and will add local resources and relationships that will benefit current and future clients in this region of the state.
