Compensation & Benefits

Work with the Best

Your company’s compensation and benefits package is vital to retaining your best employees and attracting top talent. The challenge isn’t simple: How can you best reward your employees while delivering the most value from your benefits dollars? And how will you measure the attractiveness of your offerings in an increasingly competitive marketplace?

Aside from striking a balance between the cost and competitiveness of your benefit options, you’ll need to tackle complexity at many levels—from understanding executive compensation plans, employee benefit programs, and health care offerings to navigating the cross-disciplinary web of rules and requirements that govern them.

The task can be daunting, but our dedicated professionals can help. We offer a full range of related services, from tax compliance and related payroll consulting to integrated plan design assistance and review of qualified retirement plans, tax-favored retirement plans, health and welfare plans, and nonqualified deferred compensation plans. And we’re able to provide these services to organizations both public and private, from small to Fortune 1000 and across industries.

Key Service Areas

Executive Compensation and Benefits

Your top executives play a critical role in developing strategy, driving growth, and, ultimately, determining your company’s success. You want to compensate them in a way that accurately expresses their value to your company and encourages them to stay for many years.

As you consider what type of compensation structure is best for your company, we can provide insight on fringe benefits, employer stock programs, and nonqualified deferred compensation plans for your executives, managers, sales professionals, and others. In the meantime we’ll help you comply with relevant regulations—such as IRC Section 409A—and steer clear of penalties.

Health and Welfare Benefits

Changing health care laws have generated an array of complex decisions that will affect the competitiveness and cost-effectiveness of your employee health and welfare plans. We’re at the forefront of understanding health care reform and can provide innovative solutions that include:

Our services include:

  • Plan design and implementation
