Group Benefits & Brokerage Services

Our Expertise

In a war for talent, make your benefits your differentiator

We understand that a strong employee benefits program can be the key to attracting and retaining top talent. That’s why Plante Moran Group Benefit Advisors helps organizations optimize their benefits program while managing costs, ensuring compliance, and creating unique features their staff will be excited about.

We don’t operate like others — and we’re proud of that. You’ll find that our partnerships with organizations such as Pareto Health, Meritain Health, Quantum Health, and SmithRx give you access to enterprise-level solutions not usually available to small or midsized organizations. And, unlike insurance brokers, we’re not tied to specific carriers or vendors and avoid “preferred status” relationships involving commissions, overrides, and bonuses that could infringe on independent advice.

Most importantly, we believe in full transparency and disclose all payment arrangements that affect the cost, financing, and administration of your plans. In fact, when it comes to compensation, we allow you to select the method that’s best for you — whether it’s commission-based, fee-based, or a combination of the two.

The Plante Moran team is incredible. I started at Plante Moran, I know what it's like to be a “Plante Moran person,” and it is definitely client-first ... I can tell that they still have that same attitude toward me, their client. I know that they put me first in all things.

My experience working with Plante Moran … has been the most pleasurable experience of my career. I've been in the human resources field for almost 25 years and Plante Moran is by far the best broker and provider that I work with.
