S&A insures its position as a leader in the field by providing you with industry expertise you won’t find anywhere else. In addition to our more than 30 years of benefits administration experience, here’s how we maintain our status as your expert resource for employee benefits:
UNMATCHED Knowledge
Always on top of the latest industry news, S&A benefits experts maintain their education and industry knowledge as active members of the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans (IFEBP). All S&A employees participate in professional development opportunities, including seminars hosted by the IFEBP and the Employers Council on Flexible Compensation (ECFC). We stay current with State and Federal regulations, and we even share all our knowledge with you.
Accountants by Trade
We know that our clients need up-to-date, accurate financial information to make good decisions for their organizations. At S&A, we’re benefits experts and trained accountants. You will rarely run into this unique combination of expertise. Especially beneficial for unions, we can help to analyze financial statements. We understand the bottom line, and that means we can better understand you.
Modern Technology
At S&A, we use the most modern recordkeeping and software systems in the administration of your benefit plans. We regularly maintain our website so that plan participants have realtime access to the most current resources and forms. We use technology when it’s appropriate, but never in situations where a phone call or in-person meeting is more beneficial.
Old School Service
That’s right. Always expect outstanding service from S&A, the old school way. When you or your plan participants call our offices, you’ll talk to a person on the phone. You’ll receive an email from a real human being—nothing automated here. And when you stop by the office, you’ll be greeted by a smiling face. That’s how S&A has been successful over the years, and that’s how we’ve contributed to our clients’ success.
Out-of-the-box Thinking
Especially for unions, new ideas and out-of-the-box thinking is the only way to survive as benefits cost rise and legislation continues to change. S&A stays on top of the latest government changes and is leading the way with new programs and ideas for putting benefit plans to work in the most beneficial and cost-effective ways.
