With contribution holidays now a distant memory, many employers despair about the cost and complexity of running a final salary scheme. ARC works with employers to manage strategy, structure and cost in a way which allows a scheme to be seen as an asset of the business, rather than as a liability.

How We Help Employers to Manage their Schemes
- clear and directive advice
We focus on solutions, not options. That's what clients expect from us, so that's what we do.
- agreed scope and costs
We will discuss this with you at outset and, should any revisions be needed, these will be agreed with you. You will not face any nasty surprises.
- experience
We have many years' experience in accounting and M & A work, including several years within a "Big Four" accounting firm.
- agreed deadlines
Project work for corporates is a core business for us. We are "light on our feet" and able to provide swift and effective responses.
- links to other advisers
We operate entirely independently. We do not, however, operate in a vacuum. We are well-networked with accountants, venture capitalists, IFAs, solicitors and administrators.
