In 2013, a Paris-based advertising technology firm engaged ACS to design and implement a competitive U.S. employee benefits program to attract and retain top talent. At the time, the company had just five U.S. employees, but rapid expansion led to a workforce of over 150 employees by 2016 and more than 250 by 2023, with offices in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Denver, and Chicago.

To support this growth, ACS implemented a self-service online payroll and HR management system, streamlining administrative processes and significantly reducing the in-house workload. As the business evolved, ACS continuously adapted the firm’s property and liability coverages, ensuring that directors, officers, and employees remained protected against emerging risks.

Delivering a Premier Employee Benefits Experience

Operating in a highly competitive industry, the firm has built an competitive benefits program with ACS’s guidance, offering:

• 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance, making it one of the most attractive packages in the industry.
• A 401(k) retirement plan with a generous company match, encouraging long-term financial security for employees.
• Personal financial planning support through the company-sponsored Employee Financial Wellness Program, giving employees direct access to ACS advisors for individualized guidance.

To further enhance engagement, ACS facilitates employee-led committees focused on benefits feedback and workplace initiatives, ensuring that programs continue to align with employee needs and preferences.

Navigating Mergers & Acquisitions with Seamless Benefits Integration

As the company expanded through mergers and acquisitions, ACS played a crucial role in harmonizing benefits programs across newly integrated teams, ensuring consistency, cost-efficiency, and positive employee experiences. By streamlining policies and aligning benefits structures, ACS helped create a seamless transition for employees while maintaining financial sustainability for the firm.

Today, ACS remains a strategic partner, continuously optimizing the company’s benefits, risk management, and HR strategies to support ongoing growth and industry leadership.
