What Houghton Financial Can Offer You
Crafting a well-designed executive benefits package is paramount in attracting top-tier talent. The team at Houghton Financial Partners offers executive benefits consulting for companies specific to their goals and needs of rewarding and retaining their top talent.
Through our executive benefits consulting we help design, implement, and oversee executive benefits plans that enable you to reward both your executives and your business. Our goal at Houghton is to find a plan that helps show executives in your business that you value them, while also keeping the company in mind. We offer cost-effective solutions that can do both.
Using a standard group benefit package may leave your executives missing out on key differentiators. Options such as phantom stock plans, stock appreciation, deferred compensation, performance pay, and supplemental executive retirement plans allow room for your executives to hit their goals while working for you.
Executive Benefits Planning
As an executive benefit plan consultant, we offer plans that can have a significant impact on executive recruitment and performance. Many traditional retirement plans discriminate against top earners with caps on income, benefits, and yield; adding on non-qualified plan options for executives supports these individuals in planning for retirement.
If you are looking to motivate your executive team in an ongoing way, there is significant value in tying that executive’s compensation or bonus directly to the performance of the company. There are steps you can take to invest in the future of your company by retaining and incentivizing your key players.
Executive Benefit Customization
When working with clients, we look at the big picture. That means taking into account the goals of your business – increasing earnings, maximizing sales, cutting costs, improving productivity, meeting deadlines – and the goals of your employees – financial wellbeing, and wealth accumulation. Then we design a plan to align with those objectives.
At Houghton, we understand that there is no one-size-fits-all solution, so each plan we create is designed with the unique needs of your company and employees in mind. Houghton is independent, so our recommendations are based on the evaluation of client needs, not on a pre-existing relationship with the benefit carrier. As part of our plan design process, Houghton can provide benchmarking services to review any existing executive benefit plans, which can help you compare plans as you consider other options.
