In this monologue, the speaker calls out G&A Partners, a professional employer organization (PEO) that recently acquired GrowthForce. G&A claims to serve about 3,000 clients and to generate roughly $4 billion in revenue, which would imply an average of $2.5 million in revenue per client. The speaker argues that such a figure is implausible unless the company is improperly counting its clients' payroll and wages as its own revenue, suggesting a potentially shady reporting practice. The speaker also promises to define what "large" means for a PEO later in the video.

So what happened? G&A, who is a large PEO— now I'm going to get into the definition of large here in just a minute because they do something that infuriates me, but we'll come back to that— they acquired a group called GrowthForce. So who is G&A? G&A Partners is a PEO with about 3,000 clients. They use the sketchiest method of reporting revenue I have ever seen for a PEO. I found them self-reporting in a fastest-growing businesses list that they are a 7.5 $4 billion company. I've also seen them self-report that they have 3,000 customers. So if you do the math on that, they do $2.5 million in revenue per customer. Uh, no, that's not the way that works unless you are shady and you report all of your clients' wages and payroll as your revenue.
