Nextep Adds A Second Office in Houston

Plano 009 Resized

As a part of our commitment to growth, we’ve expanded our presence in the Houston market. We are doubling our efforts and workforce in the area with the addition of a second Houston office.

“Houston is a great place for our company to grow,” said Brian Fayak, Nextep’s founder and CEO. “As a technology-forward and business-friendly community, Houston is our ideal market. Our expansion allows us to partner with even more small and medium-sized businesses.”

There’s no denying our Texas roots — since Nextep’s start, reaching Texas markets has been a priority. The growth of the state paired with our innovative technology for small businesses makes for the perfect partnership.

Our technology platform allows clients to manage their human resources, benefits, and payroll needs in one place. With the launch of the My Nextep mobile app this year, our clients can now manage their info anytime, anywhere, on any device. We are committed to bringing HR where you are through innovative technology and humanized customer support.

With an already successful office in Houston, our team is knowledgeable and invested in the community. Mathew Sparkman, our new regional sales manager in Houston, moved from Oklahoma to lead the new team.

“When we received the expansion announcement, I was immediately excited about the opportunity,” said Sparkman. “Houston is such a great community for Nextep to expand its footprint and grow. I look forward to building the newest Nextep team in Houston.”

Nextep is the second-longest tenured PEO in Texas, serving clients since the company began in 1997. With the growth of businesses in Houston, our leadership knew opening a second office would allow Nextep to better serve Houston’s people.
