All Associated
Consulting Group programs are tailored
individually for each client. We use the following
steps to help clients achieve their objectives: |
Before designing a program, Associated Consulting
Group works closely
with each client to understand business needs and
objectives. Short-term and long-term financial goals and
obligations are examined. We consider the needs of
executives and other key employees and evaluate the impact
of legislation and tax laws on the business.
|
|
We review each client's existing programs to determine if they
are consistent with corporate goals and competitive with
other industry programs. Frequently, we can increase the
value of benefit programs without increasing cost.
Associated Consulting Group programs and investments are designed and
modified to meet each client's particular needs and goals.
When a program is developed to our satisfaction, we prepare a
detailed written proposal and present it to our client for review.

files for plan administration, and develops plan
descriptions for participants. Our comprehensive orientation
program enrolls employees and educates them about their
programs.

Our years in the financial service industry have given us
the opportunity to work with hundreds of small and
medium-sized businesses. We have served almost every
industry, and helped companies that range in size from 1
to 1000 employees. While or clients vary in company size and
industry, they often ask similar questions: |
|
- How can I attract and keep top-caliber people?
- Do our benefits programs offer us the best value for
investment?
- Is our retirement plan as effective as it can be?
- How can I minimize taxes?
- Have I planned properly for the future of my business?
|
|
|
Businesses with fewer than 1000 employees rarely need
full-time staffs to answer these questions. Still, they need
expert guidance to develop employee benefit programs and
retirement plans, to make profitable investments, and to do
estate planning.

services to businesses that need outside expertise. Our
objectives? To design programs that attract, motivate, and
reward your employees. To develop investment strategies that
