About

Many employers are struggling with rising benefits costs, renewal surprises, and plans that no longer fit their teams. I help businesses in Kingston and surrounding areas build smarter group benefits and retirement programs that support both employers and employees. As an independent advisor with Michael R. Smith & Associates Inc., I work with business owners, HR leaders, and finance teams to design plans that balance cost, coverage, and long-term sustainability — without losing the personal, local support employers value. I typically work with: - Growing businesses of 10-150 employees - Family-owned companies planning for the future - Organizations that are frustrated with renewal volatility, while wanting to build stronger employee retention strategies
