When an employer decides to leave a single-vendor, bundled services plan, its is typically because the quality of services is so variable across the different components – even though the company has been writing one check, its already like dealing with separate companies for benefits, payroll, HR, plan administration, etc. With SMARTsource companies can expect consistency of service across the areas of payroll, retirement, HR, and Employee Benefits plus local accountability and access to best practice solution providers; fee transparency; ability to reduce time now spent on process oversight and reinvest that time and money in activities that will directly grow the business. Ashbrook-Clevidence, Inc., MCL Financial Group, HR Alternatives, and Pay Bridge have teamed up to offer you a platform to better serve your employee benefits, human resource, 401(k), and payroll needs. The members of SMARTsource have worked together for years, so there is a very high degree of coordination as needed to provide complete solutions set. SMARTsource clients can work with members of SMARTsource as a team, or can engage the SMARTsource companies individually as needed. SMARTsource members bring a high degree of customization, is solutions proposed, and are not locked into “box solutions” – this is particularly important in areas requiring consultative expertise: HR matters, 401(k) plan design, investment advice.
