Independent advice on schools and teachers’ pensions
Moore Kingston Smith Financial Advisers, through our acquisition of the Pilot Financial team in March 2023, provides specialist, independent advice on schools and teachers’ pensions, as well as other workplace pension schemes. More broadly, we offer consultancy on a wide range of employee benefits, working with governors, bursars, head teachers and management teams to design and implement attractive and cost-effective reward structures. Contact us to see how we can help you.
Our team of employee benefit consultants has been operating in the independent school sector for over a decade, and we act as pension and employee benefit advisers to schools of all types and sizes across the country.
Our services, either on a retained or project-specific basis, include:
- Workplace pension scheme reviews and ongoing scheme governance.
- Staff presentations and 1:1 retirement planning and financial wellbeing support.
- Group protection (life assurance, income protection and critical illness) and group healthcare advice and arrangement.
- Employee benefit reviews.
- Pension annual allowance planning for head teachers and other senior employees.
Given the steep increase in employers’ contributions to Teachers’ Pensions, we offer advice and impartial guidance on various strategic options. Where alternative solutions are being considered, we support schools through the planning, consultation and implementation phases of any proposed changes.
We also work directly with teachers, using our in-depth knowledge of Teachers’ Pensions and other workplace and personal pensions to provide a retirement guidance service.
