“What a mess we had… Great job sorting through it all. Thank you for all of your hard work on our Form 5500 filing and plan document.
“I have worked with Benefits Compliance Consultants for about 18 months now. They made it so easy for me to learn about Form 5500’s so that I in turn could educate my clients about this important part of our industry. From the very first client they impressed not only us at Ameriflex, but our clients, with their expertise. I have been able to use their Form 5500 filing services product as a stepping stone to sell other products. While initially I acted as a middle man between their company and our client, I quickly built so much trust in them that I now refer people directly to them without hesitation. Just recently, they bent over backwards to assist one of my brokers out (during the busy season, no less), and it helped this client get out of a really tight spot. As the complexities and Form 5500 filing fees mounted for this client, they made sure that all parties were kept abreast of exactly what was going on with everything. Bottom line: I would recommend anyone to Benefits Compliance Consultants for help with their or their clients’ ERISA needs.
