We advise companies or trustees on every aspect of pensions and associated benefits, except pensions law advice.

The big issues of today relate to deficits, executive pensions and opportunities to save costs. By looking at the big picture we combine the skills of actuarial and pensions management with accounting, tax, and corporate finance to deliver solutions that enhance shareholder value, improve employee relations, reduce risk and meet executive needs.

How we can support you
More about this service

Potential issues

  • You are dealing with big deficits which are causing problems for employees and shareholders and with the rating agencies
  • You need to keep executives happy and motivated in the light of the new HMRC proposals for simplifying the tax regime for pensions
  • You want to identify opportunities for saving costs in relation to pensions.

How we can support you

  • By looking at the big picture we provide broad-based solutions which other firms could miss due to their narrower skill base
  • Our skill base combines actuarial and pension management services with accounting, tax and corporate finance. We work with lawyers in order to look at the big picture
  • We are independent from trustees’ advisers – in our view independent advice to the company is essential given the potential for conflict.

PwC’s retirement, benefits & actuarial services include

  • Independent holistic advice to organisations on how to deal with deficits. This is designed to deliver and enhance shareholder value, improve employee relations, reduce risk and lead to greater business focus
  • Advice to organisations and to individual executives on communications, solutions and scenario modelling. This advice may look either at pensions by themselves or the full reward perspective in relation to the new rules, taking account of needs, pensions rules and options, tax, PFP and the various reward mechanisms available
  • Assistance in planning and implementing a mechanism to save National Insurance contributions through a redesign of pension structure without impairing benefits or cost – and which delivers value for both the employer and employees alike.
