Strategic Benefit Advisors specializes in providing strategic health and welfare benefit advisory services to employers. We have built a reputation for our client focus, thought leadership and responsiveness. The primary goal of the firm is to partner with employers to realize the maximum return on investment for their benefits-related expense.

Strategic Benefit Advisors was founded in 2002 by Mark A. Abate and J. Michael (Mike) Deneen. Our decision to create our own firm is in response to the marketplace demand for more affordable, strategic level health and welfare plan advisory services. The market is crowded with insurance brokers who lack the true technical expertise to support employers' health and welfare strategies, and consulting firms that possess the technical expertise but levy a significant access charge. We combine the intellectual talent of the consulting firms with the economics of a local broker.

Between us, we have thirty years of experience in the employee benefits field, twenty of which were at Mercer Human Resource Consulting, a preeminent, global human resource consulting firm. We have provided strategic consulting services to many of the leading employers in the region, including many of the area's Fortune 500 companies.

We have spent our careers helping companies develop competitive health and welfare benefit programs based on their unique business needs.

The guiding principal of our service delivery model is to consistently support our clients' business priorities, including:

	Maximize benefit value and minimize benefit cost
	Attract and retain valued employees
	Understand the benefit program cost drivers and know how to address them
	Ensure the competitiveness of the benefit programs in the marketplace
	Manage day-to-day benefit operations and vendor relationships
	Address compliance with federal and state laws and regulations
	Manage the company's risk efficiently

We have delivered on this promise for our clients, which include The Gillette Company, Tufts-New England Medical Center, Brown University and Waters Technologies Corporation.
