What Makes Us Different

Our company’s founding principle is to do the right thing at all times; for our clients, our employees, our families and ourselves.  We are fortunate in that we do not have the pressures of the large firms to improve financial performance in order to increase shareholder value.  This way, we can focus 100% of our energy on what we are in business to do  . . . which is to provide practical advice and unparalleled service to help our clients maximize the value of their benefits expenditures. 

We believe the following attributes set SBA apart from other firms:

Integrity 
Every recommendation we give to will be in your organization’s best interests, not ours. 

Service Model 
Having worked for a consulting firm where almost everything is fee-for-service, we understand the value that is expected of us and we intend to earn the revenue that we receive.

Experience and Proven Track Record
We have worked – and continue to work – with many large employers.  During our careers as consultants, we have helped these groups avoid millions of dollars of health care plan expenditures through our innovation and creativity. 

Financial Analysis Acumen
Many of our SBA staff members were large group medical underwriters before entering consulting.   

Operational Acumen
Several staff members have significant corporate benefits experience.  We are able to effectively act as an extension of your benefits operations.

Experience with Funding Arrangements
We have deep expertise with all health plan funding alternatives.  Our analyses strongly consider both market and business dynamics can as well as your specific risk/reward tolerances. 

Clients
We believe that we have a very impressive client roster for a firm of our size and age.  Among our clients are some of the most prestigious companies, institutions of higher learning and health care providers in the country. Our work with many of them has them has exposed us to leading-edge cost management techniques and continues to provide us with substantial leverage with the marketplace.
