Who we are

A fiduciary-minded approach to employee benefits.

Optimus Group Consulting was built on a simple principle: put the client first, even if we make less. Led by consultants with over 35 years of experience, we help employers relieve the financial strain of their benefit plans through independent analysis and innovative solutions.

What employee benefits consulting means here

Most benefit plans are not broken. They are typically operated by those with a big financial reason to keep them expensive. There are solutions that will lower benefit costs, but most don’t take the time to review or understand them. So, the cycle continues. Healthcare costs increase based on “trend” or other made-up information. Shop carriers, administrators and pharmacy benefit managers, and you get a cost increase of 14% down to 10%, and everyone thinks you have somehow won. But the cost quietly outruns the budget.

Optimus Group benefits consulting stops the merry-go-round. We take the plan apart, look at each piece individually and what it actually delivers, and put it back together in a shape your organization can afford.

Our recommendations start with your organization, not a carrier's agenda. We show you what each option means for your costs and your people, so you can make an informed decision.

How we work

Simple language, plain numbers, no agenda.

Anyone who enrolls in benefits should be able to understand what they are getting. If we cannot explain it clearly, we have not finished the work.

No agenda but yours

We are not aligned with any carrier. Our fees are disclosed up front.

Your goals shape the plan

We start with your people and your budget, then compare the options and explain the trade-offs.

We say the hard things early

If your plan is fine, we tell you. If it cannot be fixed the way you hope, we say that before you spend money on it.
