Company Overview

Tompkins Consulting Companies, Inc. is the parent organization for two distinctly different consulting practices. We are privately held companies located in Portland, Oregon, and have been in existence since 1995.

Tompkins Benefit Group, Inc. provides employee benefit plan consultation and service for employers in the Pacific Northwest ranging in size from 10 to 2,000 employees. Providing customized brokerage and consulting services means designing, implementing, and managing your employee benefit plans. It also means indepth consultative services in light of compliance with federal and state health reform legislation.

We understand how plans work, how to be good stewards of your company’s benefit dollars, and how to design a plan customized to your culture and affordable for both you and your employees. We also understand that you expect us to put your best interest at heart and park the sales mentality at the door.

We provide competitive market analysis, financial analysis using actuaries and benefit benchmarking to best design the plan suited for your organization’s needs and that of your employees. To say it as succinctly as possible, we give you choices.

Once the plan has been implemented it is time to take care of those employees and dependents insured under the plan. Tompkins Benefit Group, Inc. provides strong advocacy on behalf of your organization and your employees and their families. All with an eye for confidentiality and one-on-one service.

Tompkins HR Group, Inc. provides human resources consultative services to similarly situated employers domiciled in the Pacific Northwesp. Organizations can achieve significant advantages from outsourcing HR functions. Businesses can reduce operating costs, mitigate risk, increase focus on core competencies, not to mention freeing your employees to spend more time on strategic issues and less time on administrative issues.

Following the assessment, we take the steps with you to address issues of concern to ensure you have a comfort level in your own compliance efforts.

Our Philosophy Towards Compensation

Our philosophy is simple: first and foremost, our loyalty is to our clients. If we operate on a consulting basis, we do not accept commissions of any kind. If we operate on a commission basis, we do not accept consulting fees of any kind.

We also do not accept contingent commissions, broker awards, trips, production bonuses or any other form of compensation from the insurance carriers that would be deemed above and beyond the regular commission or consulting fees received. We even turn down all of those Beaver and Duck football tickets!

Stewardship

We believe we have a responsibility to give back to our community. This means that as our company continues to be successful, we are bound to return a portion of that success to others in the form of time and/or financial contributions. A healthy, safe and caring community doesn't just happen — it is nurtured by the people who live and work there.

A list of those charitable organizations for which we provide support can be found in our book A Sense of Community.
