Dimov Tax Reviews & Testimonials
Tax Preparation Review from Parhum Moshki
Dimov Tax was exceptionally helpful and fair-priced when assisting my family with complex tax questions that involved cross-border considerations. They made sure all of our filings strictly adhered to IRS regulations while maintaining the highest standard of quality. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing everything was handled professionally and completely by the book!
Tax Preparation Review from Gerald Triplett
Working with the team at Dimov Tax has been a fantastic experience. I have relied on them for my filings over the last four tax years, and I always feel confident knowing they genuinely look out for my best interests. They are dedicated, reliable, and consistently advocate for their clients!
Tax Preparation Review from Рубен Газарян
This is easily the finest tax firm I have ever worked with. As a long-term client who grew up outside the United States, I find the American tax system incredibly complex and confusing. However, Kirill Solntsev and George Dimov made my highly complicated 2025 tax return feel completely manageable. Kirill’s exceptional professional support, patience, and meticulous attention to detail were incredible throughout the entire process. They offer top-tier individual tax planning and filing services at a great price point. I wish them continued success and look forward to remaining a loyal client for many years to come!

Hiring Guide: How to Choose the Best HR Outsourcing Services in the US
How do I choose the right company for my business?
To choose the right outsourcing company for your business, consider these steps:
- Define your needs
Map out the exact HR functions you want to delegate, your specific requirements and business policies, budget, and engagement timeframe. - Shortlist experts
Look for HR outsourcing providers with sector-specific knowledge, ask for client references in your industry, and review case studies showing measurable results. - Evaluate provider credentials
Assess client and employee reviews, list of awards and recognitions, and necessary certifications to confirm the company’s reliability and credibility. - Send a request for proposal (RFP)
Provide your top candidates with a detailed project brief together with your budget and time constraints, so they can work within your requirements. - Schedule an interview
Meet the team working with you, and ask about compliance, security, and scalability. Prioritize those who can expand with you without requiring a complete platform change. - Choose your provider
Take time to compare at least three providers, examining their technology platforms, service level agreements, and pricing models before committing.
Need help finding an HR outsource provider for your business? Visit our Marketplace and tell us what you need. We'll curate a list of the top companies for free!
What should I prepare before contacting an HR outsourcing provider?
Start with your current employee headcount and projected growth over the next 12-24 months.
Document all locations where you have employees, because each state or country adds compliance complexity that affects pricing.
Gather your existing payroll structure, including pay frequencies, overtime policies, and any special compensation arrangements like commissions or bonuses.
List your current benefits offerings and note whether you want the provider to source new plans or administer existing ones.
Compile your compliance requirements. Are you subject to industry-specific regulations? Do you have government contracts requiring certain HR practices? Have you faced any compliance issues or audits recently? Understanding your risk profile helps providers recommend appropriate service levels.
Finally, establish your budget expectations and decision timeline. Providers appreciate knowing whether you're exploring options or ready to move quickly.
According to a 2025 Paychex study, 64% of companies spend 570 hours annually on HR administration, so quantify your own time investment to understand your potential ROI from outsourcing.
When does HR outsourcing make more sense than building an in-house HR team?
While both HR outsourcing and building an in-house team bring their own advantages, the decision will depend on your specific business needs.
According to Deloitte's Global Outsourcing Survey, these are the top reasons why businesses are outsourcing functions, including HR:
- Improved access to talent: 42%
- Spend optimization: 34%
- Improved quality/performance: 33%
- Adoption of global delivery model: 33%
- Better alignment to business strategy and operating model shifts: 27%
- Need for flexible and scalable talent model: 23%
In other words, HR outsourcing makes more sense when:
- HR operations are detracting you from core business functions
- Building a full-time, in-house HR team is too expensive
- You’re experiencing high employee dissatisfaction and churn rates
- You need specialized expertise
- You need help navigating labor laws and sector-specific regulations, especially for multi-state and international operations
How involved does management need to be when using these types of services?
Outsourcing HR doesn't mean eliminating internal people management, but it means redirecting your focus from administration to strategy.
Your leadership team remains responsible for organizational culture, performance expectations, hiring decisions, and employee development priorities.
The HR outsourcing provider handles execution, compliance, and day-to-day administration.
Expect regular check-ins with your provider. Most start with weekly or biweekly touchpoints during the first few months, transitioning to monthly reviews once processes stabilize.
You'll approve payroll runs, review compliance reports, and make final decisions on employee relations matters.
The provider brings expertise and recommendations; you make the calls, ensuring that everything aligns with your company's values and goals.
How do I measure whether HR outsourcing is delivering value?
To measure if the HR outsourcing company is delivering value to your business, start by defining your expectations and service level agreement (SLAs).
This includes your measurable business objectives, performance metrics, and current benchmarks.
Here are some of the most common HR outsourcing benchmarks to consider:
- Time to complete: Average time it takes for the provider to complete a task, such as filling in a position or processing payroll
- Employee satisfaction: Assesses how employees feel about HR services and can be tracked via turnover rates, exit interview feedback, and employee surveys
- Payroll accuracy rate: Monitors the percentage of error-free payroll transactions filed by the provider and determines their reliability
- Administrative time savings: Calculates the time previously spent on HR functions that are now being outsourced
- Cost savings: Measures the amount of money saved by outsourcing HR functions
Small companies with 25 employees and a monthly HRO cost of $120-$200 can expect an average return on investment (ROI) of 150%.
Mid-sized businesses with around 100 employees and a monthly HRO of $430-$500, on the other hand, can experience an ROI of 175%.
For large enterprises with over 500 employees and an HRO of $2,000-$3,000 per month, the average ROI is 191%.

Frequently Asked Questions About HR Outsourcing Services
What services do most of these companies typically offer?
They typically provide a comprehensive menu of services covering the full employee lifecycle.
According to industry research, these are the most frequently outsourced HR services:
- Payroll outsourcing (70%): Processing employee salaries and ensuring that they comply with contract agreements, labor laws, and tax regulations.
- Recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) (28%): Sourcing, screening, interviewing, and onboarding talent required by an organization.
- Multi-process HRO (26%): Delegating multiple HR operations to a single third-party provider, such as payroll processing, onboarding and training, and compliance.
- Benefits administration (18%): Managing an organization’s benefits programs for employees, such as health insurance, paid time off, and retirement plans.
- Learning services (14%): Overseeing an organization’s training and development programs, helping employees upskill or reskill.
Beyond these core offerings, these companies also cover performance management, time and attendance tracking, and compliance management.
How much does HR outsourcing cost?
HR outsourcing costs start at $50-$200 per employee per month and can go beyond $1,500 per employee per month. The final rate will depend on the type of HR sourcing service, engagement model, company size and structure, industry, and compliance requirements.
Here’s a pricing breakdown per service type:
- Payroll processing: Base fee of $150-$350 per month for a company with under 20 employees
- Compliance management: $500-$5,000 per month, depending on scope and requirements
- Employer record services (EOR): $200-$1,500 per month per employee
- Training and development: $50-$300 per employee per module, and can be exclusive of trainer compensation, event space, and training materials.
- Recruitment and talent acquisition: 15%-30% of the talent’s first-year salary or $5,000-$20,000+ per month, with more premium rates for more specialized or niche expertise
What is the difference between HR outsourcing and a PEO?
While both HR outsourcing companies and PEOs (professional employer organizations) help organizations hire and manage their employees, they have different functions.
Mainly, an HRO serves as an external vendor, while a PEO operates through a co-employment model. Below are more details:
| HR Outsourcing | PEO | |
| Function | Third-party vendor | Co-employer |
| Legal Liability | Client | Shares responsibility with the client |
| Services | Provides the service as needed | Controls the entire HR operations |
| Payroll, taxes, and filings | Provider handles the service, but the client remains the employer | Provider is the co-employer and administers the entire process |
| Benefits |
|
|
What questions should I ask before hiring?
Ask these questions before hiring an HR outsourcing company:
Relevant Background
- What HR functions do you cover, and what is your expertise?
- Can you provide case studies or references for companies similar to our business size, industry, and complexity?
- What is your compliance coverage per state and per country?
