About Braden Monaco

Over the past 18 years I’ve dedicated my career and now my firm to turn the traditional sales-centric approach to benefits on its head with an entirely new model driven by working in true partnership with clients. Our new-breed concierge service platform adapts to each client’s needs and wants. It combines nimble, proactive management and client communication with state-of-the-art technology tools. We are much more than benefits consultants; rather, we become integral to our clients\' business operations to give them a competitive edge. To us – and our clients – this benefits partnership model represents the future of our profession. Our role in this industry has certainly progressed and evolved over the last few years. No longer are we simply looked to as \"brokers.\" We are now more aligned with the strategic mission of our clients. Our role is now one of a strategic partner than simply a broker. Our knowledge and expertise expands well beyond what benefits plans are in the market - we are now looked to as a strategic resources for Human Resources, a sounding board for overall business strategy as well as a proactive (and in this market sometimes reactive) compliance expert.Specialties: Alternative Funding Arrangements, self-Funding,Consumer Driven Healthcare Plans/Human Resource Information Systems/ACA Compliance, Education
