Employee Benefit Cost Strategy for Mid-Market CEOs: Consulting Services Expanded

AKP Business Advisors has expanded its consulting services, helping mid-market CEOs identify overlooked payroll and benefits opportunities to reduce costs and improve workforce retention.

Farmers Branch, United States, September 14, 2026 /PressCable/ -- AKP Business Advisors has announced an expansion of its consulting services focused on employee benefit cost strategy, providing mid-market CEOs with structured reviews of payroll structures and employee benefit eligibility.

According to research data from Mercer, employer health benefit costs per employee are expected to rise 6.5 percent on average in 2026, the highest increase in 15 years, even after employers apply planned cost-reduction measures. Against this backdrop, AKP Business Advisors has announced its consulting services designed to help employers manage rising costs while maintaining employee benefits for their workforce.

The offering centers on a structured Cash Flow & Benefits Review, which examines a company's payroll structure, employee eligibility, and current benefit plans to surface cash-flow opportunities that the company says traditional advisory firms often miss. For qualifying employers, this includes identifying pre-tax payroll adjustments that can lower FICA tax exposure and, in some cases, reduce workers' compensation premiums, subject to plan documentation and compliance review.

On the employee side, the consulting services aim to give staff access to a low-cost 'first-dollar' layer of care, such as virtual primary care, pharmacy, and supplemental health benefits, that the company says employees can more easily afford to use, with the overall program described by the company as cost-neutral for the employer. According to a consultancy representative, the stated goal is to improve access to everyday care while supporting employee satisfaction and reducing absenteeism, though actual results vary by employee census and participation.

The AKP Business Advisors spokesperson adds that the services also include workforce retention and recruiting support intended to strengthen morale, loyalty, and recruiting appeal through employee-centered strategies. Separately, the company offers AI-based automation support for functions such as follow-up and lead qualification.

AKP Business Advisors works directly with business owners as well as through referral partnerships with CPAs, fractional CFOs, insurance brokers, and other advisors, serving as an additional resource within those existing client relationships.
