Considering today’s factors, it is impossible to be efficient in this specialized field without an extended knowledge of:
-
Tax rules;
-
Legislative requirements;
-
Methods use by insurers to set their rates;
-
social and government plans
Professionals performing in this sector must be sensitive to this reality.
We offer creative alternatives to relieve rate increases often requested by insurers. To recap, our role is to ensure your safety as well as your employees and to be present in case of major claims and in the daily management of your program.
Group Insurance
A dynamic brokerage service
ACRV conducts a thorough analysis of your needs by considering your expectations first and then we make recommendations. We conduct the market study, negotiate financial arrangements and prepare a renewal projection report based on historical claims from previous years of your group. Once your choice is made, we set up the implementation of the plan to ensure proper operation and remain available to you throughout the year to vouch the quality of service.
When setting up the program, employees can receive a detailed presentation in which are explained the operation and benefits of the chosen program if you wish. In addition, periodic follow-ups with the employer and the members are always available.
A second professional opinion of your program
ACRV offers a second professional opinion service of your program. Business leaders have every reason to enjoy this service even if they only get a confirmation that their structure of program is appropriate. They also get an alternative in case of difficulties with the broker involved in their file.
This option may be used at any time during the year since the renewal date of their policy is simply a rating revision date. In fact, your policy is renewed from month to month. It demands no more than twenty minutes for the client to prepare documentation required to execute this study.

Group Retirement Services
Your best access to products on the market
Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP): Employees receive the full benefits of an individual RRSP, while enjoying the gains from the collective administration.
Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (DPSP): The employer distributes a portion of its profits by contributing to the account of its employees. The employer contributions can be tailored to each participant and they do not suffer from the "payroll taxes".
Retirement plan contribution plans, traditional or simplified: The employer pays its employees a plan contribution that was predetermined, and not a variable fee based retirement benefits. Known for its simplicity, the simplified pension plan (SIPP) is ideal for small businesses.
Individual Pension Plan (IPP): A shareholder owner or member of senior management's interest to have its own IPPs. We're here to help realize tax savings for his company and for himself and his family.
Voluntary Retirement Savings Plans (VRSP): Quebec’s Government wants to encourage Quebecers to save more for their retirement while making it easier to access user-friendly and affordable savings programs. That’s why it adopted a law in December 2013 that will gradually require all employers who have a business in Quebec with five or more employees to offer a group retirement savings program for their staff. Employers will be required to choose a voluntary retirement savings plan (VRSP) provider, based on certain terms and conditions.
