Serving Independent Professionals since 1997
Since our inception, we’ve offered contractors, freelancers and consultants higher earnings, exceptional back-office support and access to corporate level benefits normally out of reach for independent professionals.
Born from Personal Experience
Our late CEO, James R. Ziegler, Ph.D., had a novel idea to provide independent-minded solo professionals, like himself, with a transparent, low-cost, employer-ofrecord service. In 1997, he teamed up with his daughter, current CEO Sara Wilkison, to make it happen. Decades later, our company has helped countless professionals make more money and get better benefits.
All Women-owned and Operated
Today, Solo Workforce is an all-women owned and operated business. With two sisters as owners, we remain a family business with the same values of transparency, affordability, flexibility, and exceptional
benefits and service that has guided us from the beginning.
The Evolution of Solo Workforce
We began as the Professional Association of Contract Employees (P.A.C.E.), with an innovative business model offering contractors, freelancers and consultants higher tax-advantaged earnings, exceptional back-office support, and a comprehensive employee benefits package.
In 2007, we rebranded the company as Solo W-2, Inc., reflecting our continued commitment to provide exceptional employer-of-record services for independent-minded contract professionals.
Recognizing our services benefit all the stakeholders in the solo workforce, we became Solo Workforce in 2013. While our name has changed over the years, our commitment to providing unparalleled service and value remains the same.
