Employee Benefits Management & Consulting
Managing benefits is key to retaining good talent, but it also can be a difficult and complex process. That’s why we oversee a wide array of group-related employee health benefits portfolios for companies. This includes medical, dental, short- and long-term disability, vision, life, HR-benefit administration systems, flexible spending accounts, claim analysis, and disease-management programs.
We can either become an extension of your Human Resources Department or serve as your “Sub-HR’ partner. We build a long-term plan with your company so you can achieve your goals and be prepared for the future.

Business Succession and Sustainability Plans
We can protect your assets from a tragic or life-changing event. If your business partner dies, what is your plan? Many partners are not properly set up in their ownership, operating and distribution agreements. Stock buyouts are often muddy, and the time to figure out your valuation process and all the rest is not at the time of sickness, disability, or retirement.
If you set up an operation agreement five years ago when the company was worth only $250,000—but today is worth $5 million—did you remember to reevaluate your agreement and address the company growth?
Obviously, you cannot do this once and then call it a day. These are things we look for so that you are protected. We think of the issues you are too busy to think about. We provide workable solutions for a myriad of situations.
