Employee benefits plans

We ensure plan sponsors meet their fiduciary requirements and the demands of the marketplace.
Backed by years of hands-on experience providing companies with tailored plan blueprints and assistance with plan execution, we work closely with our clients to streamline the entire benefits process, from integration after a merger or acquisition to plan design and ongoing administration.

Providing assistance that adds value to our clients.

There are many factors to consider when putting an employee benefits plan in place and when maintaining that plan over time. Our Employee Benefit Plan Group understands that, as costs associated with benefits rise, our clients continue to seek out ways to provide their employees with a plan that offers the greatest coverage in the most cost-effective manner. Complex government regulation and constantly changing legislation make employee benefits plan administration a complicated and time-consuming function within any organization.
