Corporate Financial Planning

Your employees are your best asset

So it makes sense to protect them. We build and run employee benefit packages, from group life and income protection to company pension schemes, for multinationals and local SMEs alike.

Advice your staff can use

Independent financial advice available to your employees on request, plus regular on site presentations.

Multinational or SME

The same care either way. The package is built around your workforce, not a standard template.

Allowable against tax

Group income protection premiums paid by the employer qualify as a business expense against corporation tax.

Why a scheme pays for itself
“Over the lifetime of an average pension, you can reduce your tax bill by €43,200 making basic contributions to a pension scheme.”

An illustration rather than a quotation. What a scheme saves depends on contribution levels, the employee’s tax position and how long the plan runs.

Corporate and employee benefits

Getting staff to care about a pension

We know the challenge involved in engaging employees with their retirement fund. Most people do not think that far ahead, and pensions are not really a conversation for the canteen. So we run a range of interactions designed to get employees interested and to show them what their pension is actually worth.

Working in partnership with you and your staff, we make setting up and managing employee benefits seamless, efficient and worthwhile. Whether it is a large multinational or a local SME, we build a package that works for both sides.

Your staff have independent financial advice available to them the moment they ask for it, and we run regular on site presentations to keep everyone up to speed.

Company pension scheme

The benefit that keeps people where they are

A company pension scheme is one of the most important benefits an employer can provide. It helps make sure your employees are financially secure in retirement, it attracts new staff, and in a challenging labour market it is one of the more reliable ways of holding on to the people you already have.

A strong employee benefits package is a key tool in attracting and retaining top talent. The best way to protect the business from an unexpected liability attached to that package is to insure the risk.
Group income protection

An income that keeps arriving

Group income protection pays your employees a monthly income if they cannot work for a prolonged period because of long term illness or injury. It is sometimes called permanent health insurance or disability cover.

Premiums are paid by the employer and qualify as a business expense that can be offset against corporation tax. The employer can also elect to have pension contributions covered under the plan.

When a claim is made, the income benefit is paid to the employer, who passes it to the employee through payroll with the relevant deductions such as tax and USC.

Keep Talented Employees with a Corporate Financial Plan

What the cover does for the business

Claims paid with minimal fuss

The health and wellbeing of your staff matters. We aim to pay valid claims quickly and without a fight.

Absence management support

We step in early to try to prevent long term sick leave, and in some cases fund treatment that helps someone back to work.

Attract and retain top talent

Offering the cover signals that the employer is committed to its people, which makes it a better place to work.

Tailored to your business

Every business is different. We work out the requirements with you and build the plan to suit them.

Pension contributions covered

The employer can elect to keep pension contributions running while an employee is out of work.

Offset against corporation tax

Employer paid premiums qualify as a business expense, so the cover is more affordable than it first appears.

Group life insurance

Death in service cover

Group life insurance gives employees the peace of mind that their dependants will be supported financially if something happens to them. It is now seen as an essential part of the benefits package for most employers.
