The Employer Faces Several Issues
All businesses face the challenges of attracting and retaining productive employees, remaining competitive in the marketplace, reducing income tax liabilities, managing employee benefit costs, and contending with changing tax laws. Those challenges are above and beyond the firm’s actual business.
How CCG Pensions Works
The answer to these challenges can be a properly designed employee benefit package. Such a package can help retain experienced employees, provide employees with long-term security, help in the company’s tax planning, manage employee benefit costs, and assure the company’s compliance with applicable regulations.
With such an array of tax and benefit planning needs, employers need professional service. CCG Pensions performs these employee benefit services on a fee only basis.
Analysis, Plan Design and Implementation Address Client’s Needs
CCG Pensions has built its name on the power of its Plan Design. The first step in the benefit planning process is the analysis of a client company’s objectives and priorities. As a firm with years of experience, CCG Pensions asks the right questions in order to design the right plan. CCG Pensions performs this analysis in conjunction with the business owner and his advisors.
Once the client’s objectives have been outlined, these needs are individually addressed by examining each of the employee benefit plans available. The CCG Pensions feasibility study distinguishes the advantages of each of the alternatives available to the client.
Together, CCG Pensions and the client choose from among the alternatives to design an appropriate employee benefit package.
After plan design, preparing trust documents and implementing the plan are the next steps. Again, CCG Pensions works with the client and his advisors to help put the plan to work. Implementation is the key to making plan design a reality. The successful ongoing administration of the plan is the key to the plan’s long-term success.
Pension Plan Implementation and Administration
CCG Pensions is unique in the benefits consulting world as we offer our clients an unrivalled two component service structure that enables full accountability.
