A Balanced Approach

FICC’s compensation plans are rich enough to entice talented prospects, yet affordable and easily maintained over the long-term. We emphasize shareholder value by weaving cost-effective elements into each plan and we select informal funding vehicles which bring positive financial performance for the institution, often in the very first year of the program.

Individualized Attention

FICC takes great pride in providing customized solutions for the clients we serve. Our recommendations are always based on an extensive review of the particular needs and circumstances of your institution. Whether your plan has five participants or five hundred, we’ll share the options that will work best for you.

Comprehensive Administration Services

One of the most unique aspects of FICC’s service is that of ongoing and comprehensive plan administration. We don’t expect our clients to be experts in the regulatory, tax and accounting implications of executive compensation plans. That’s our job and we have employed some of the top experts in the industry to assist you.

In-Depth Contractual Analysis

We know that you’ll need to make informed decisions about your compensation offerings. That’s why we provide you with an extensive review of your plan’s performance. With accuracy of information, technical proficiency and attention to detail, we’ll provide you with everything you need to secure the financial integrity of your plan.

Skilled & Professional Staff

Employee compensation is a closely regulated business, so it’s important to work with people you trust. FICC has established a team of highly skilled professionals, including certified public accountants, attorneys and financial analysts who specialize in serving the banking industry. We stay on top of the latest research and trends and we make sure that our client plans are closely monitored and tracked for performance.

Unsurpassed Security

In a competitive environment of mergers and acquisitions, FICC clients can rest easy knowing that their plan is being administered by an experienced firm with more than twenty years of service. We offer the tightest benefit security available and thoroughly review every plan to ensure the right outcomes for our clients.

Innovative Solutions

Since our inception more than twenty years ago, FICC has been on the cutting edge of practices that have now become mainstream, including utilization of BOLIs, phantom conversion plans and comprehensive plan administration.

"The key (to the FICC programs) is that we can reward the people who have helped the company grow and prosper - and we can do so without cost to the institution.  The FICC plan has helped us retain people, and it recently helped us recruit a senior officer."
