Process & Philosophy
Mission Statement
We exist to relentlessly hunt for opportunities to turn operational expense into strategic capital.
Guiding Principles
-
Creative – Conventional tactics win conventional results; we color outside the lines.
-
Resourceful – Rolodex of seasoned underwriters, ERISA counsel, and HR technologists on speed-dial.
-
Comprehensive – “Leave no stone unturned” is not marketing fluff; it’s our project plan template. No Gatekeeping here!
deep dive
diagnostics
We dissect payroll, workers’ comp, benefits, admin fees, and HR workflows to expose the true cost of your current set-up—before we ever approach the market.
unbiased market procurement
With 500+ PEOs in the U.S., picking one on price alone is a gamble. We build models that compare total cost of ownership, culture fit, service ratios, and compliance posture so you can sign with confidence.
no stone left
unturned
Our curiosity knows no bounds. Rethink OPEX will procure all strategies, services, and providers to help you reduce your OPEX including PEOs, ICHRAs, Section 125c Health management plans and much more

PEO Benchmark & Switch | Service fatigue, rate creep, rapid growth | Benchmarking of incumbent provider VS current market conditions. Measurable metrics. |
PEO Exit & Re-internalize | M&A integration, cost realignment | Detailed unwind plan, vendor replacements, internal controls checklist |
"I have had the pleasure of working with Harry Glazer while I was the CFO for a general contractor in Ontario, CA. Our transition to Harry’s company was not a process I took lightly. We interviewed many providers and found ourselves with an obvious choice. Harry made the process comfortable and made sure to help coach us through some critical decisions and helped ensure that our implementation experience was top notch".
Trevor Walker, CA
Principal at MarshMcLennan Agency
"I had the pleasure of working with Harry recently, and I cannot express how grateful I am for the experience. From the moment we started working together, Harry displayed exceptional professionalism, expertise, and a genuine passion for his work. His commitment to excellence was evident in every task he undertook and as a result, he consistently delivered high-quality results that exceeded expectations."
Our 3-Step Method
Discovery Workshop & Root-Cause Analysis
A 'brutally honest' look at what's working, what's not without consideration for internal politics, 'how we've always done things', or typical progress stoppers. Let's first be honest about what is happening - no judgement or bias.
Now that we we agree on the "What", let's focus on the "Why". Identify systems leaks, redundant fees, and other causes to the less-than-desirable results.
Strategic Procurement
We gather and your data for a strategic RFP process across a curated slate of vendors. No meeting with various sales people, no back-and-forth with data requests. The only vendors that are invited to provide proposals have passed our multi-point criteria set or 'table stakes' set by Rethink OPEX. All proposals are carefully evaluated and considered to ensure they can solve the root cause identified previously, are transparent and free of any hidden fees, and are competitively positioned.
​
Only then, an executive summary is prepared and one recommended solution is presented.
Contract and Implementation Oversight
Now that we have found a "Winner", Rethink OPEX will help guide you through the complex contract negotiation including fee adherence, expectation and service guarantees, and contract exit friendliness.
​
After contract, comes Implementation. Full support in data migration, configuration support and first payroll/invoice audit. Also, full support for all employee-facing education, support, and enrollment.
