Adviant offers employee benefit consulting services, employee compensation consulting services, and related human resource consulting services, as well as day-to-day administration of our client's compensation and benefits programs. Adviant differentiates itself from large consulting firms by tailoring its services and fee structure to be cost effective for mid-size employers, generally with 500 to 5,000 employees. Often described as a niche-player or boutique operation in our industry, Adviant is large enough to handle substantial assignments and small enough to easily flex with a client's changing needs. The Firm's clients are both public and private sector employers; they are local, national, and international in scope. Adviant was founded in 1998 and established as a privately held Texas corporation focused on employee benefits. Transparency and full disclosure of all revenue is a founding principle of our practice, and a contractual commitment to our clients. Adviant performs insurance and securities brokerage activities on an hourly fee basis, the same as our consulting and administration services. Replacing broker commissions with a reasonable hourly fee can reduce a client's annual benefits budget by 3-15% before contemplating any changes to current benefit programs. Adviant's approach to the employee benefits business eliminates waste and promotes client investments in new programs and technologies (which further reduces expenses and/or enhances the value of a client's compensation and benefits package). Adviant expanded its service offerings in 2007 to include employee compensation and related HR functions. Adviant's founder, Paul Bazell explains that "the industry has created silos of knowledge wherein employee compensation, benefits, HR, risk management and workplace safety are treated separately , by combining these disciplines, we help clients streamline the day-to-day administration of these programs and we generate new opportunities to align a client's compensation and benefits package with their business plan." Adviant colleagues are most commonly graduates of large consulting firms, major brokerage operations, or are tenured HR generalists. Clients draw from a variety of experience and talent as their needs dictate. Each Adviant colleague has day-to-day client accountability for producing measurable value in excess of their billable expense.
