Employee Benefit Plans | Grant Thornton

Guidance to benefit your company and employees

While the daily operations of benefit plans are handled by internal departments and third-party providers, the fiduciary responsibilities must be carried out by plan officers who often need assistance with the complexities. We can be your guides. Along with high-quality, efficient audits, we offer assessments and perspectives for recognizing opportunities and avoiding risk.

In serving our clients, we dedicate ourselves to learning about their business, and our services are tailored to address unique as well as common industry challenges.

Employees strive to shape work

Our State of Work in America survey shows employers the issues that matter to employees so they can hire the best people — and keep them on board.

We are members of the AICPA Employee Benefit Plan Audit Quality Center (EBPAQC), and our people have served in prominent roles in the profession, including as chair of the EBPAQC Executive Committee. These audits require procedures that are distinct from other engagements, and our people have the experience to deliver the highest quality when we perform them.
