A New and Better Way to Apply Compliance Expertise
In over a decade of working in benefits compliance, we've learned that compliance training isn't organized in a way that best helps producers and account managers operate as effectively and profitably as they can on a day-to-day basis.
BCS Transform takes the practical knowledge of how benefits compliance experts become experts, and brings it to life in a revolutionary way: with short, easily understandable lessons designed around how a benefits agency actually works.

Meet your instructor
Sarah Borders is a veteran of the benefits industry and one of the nation's leading experts on the subject of benefits compliance.
She began her career close to 20 years ago on the administrative side of employee benefits agencies - giving her an intimate knowledge to the inner workings of a benefits business and the immense demands on producers, account managers, and account executives.
Her shift in focus on compliance started with the passage of the Affordable Care Act, leading to multiple compliance leadership positions at both small, and large agencies. She has helped hundreds of employers get compliant, eliminating millions of dollars in compliance exposure in the process.
In 2019, she co-founded Benefits Compliance Solutions to fill a gap she saw missing from benefits businesses: training design, employer assistance, and a completeness in compliance approaches.
BCS Transform is the pinnacle of her career's work: a truly transformative program for agency owners, producers, and administrative staff.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
I don't have much of a budget for complianceInvesting in compliance is a big decision, and we recommend that any investment consider the business upside to determine whether it makes sense. With a typical 200-life group commission over $75k, efforts to land or keep such accounts can make or break a firm’s goals. When you focus on the upside, you make decisions that drive your business forward. That’s why you see the largest brokerages investing heavily in compliance. It makes business sense.
-
I use another compliance tool - how is this different?Most compliance services focus on do-it-yourself checklists, question and answer databases, or cookie-cutter software solutions. There’s little in terms of hands-on assistance with complex subjects, and if there is a hands-on solution (as with an ERISA attorney), the responses are often purposefully vague, or are hard to understand, rather than a response that answers the question “What do I do?” Not only are we experts in compliance, but we are also experts in the business and administrative side of benefits - which means we have deep experience in putting compliance to work within traditional agency operations.
-
Won't uncovering compliance problems make us look bad?In most scenarios, the answer is no. We’ve found that the employers’ expectations of brokers are usually high in the realm of insurance products, features, and administration, but generally lower when it comes to the finest details of compliance. As a result, we’ve found the response of employers is much more frequently one of gratitude – a response brokers seek when interacting with their groups.
-
I only have small group accountsSmall groups have compliance needs as well. Remember that these are the groups that can least afford to receive a fine, penalty, or lawsuit. It’s often forgotten that most ERISA requirements, many ACA requirements, many State-level requirements and filings apply to small groups.
-
I don't have time to deal with compliance right now - I'm busy with renewals, etc.While certain seasons are busier than others in the benefits industry, there are no seasons where compliance is irrelevant. Your competition doesn’t stop calling on your key groups, looking for what you're missing just because it's busy season.The IRS, DOL, HHS, and other enforcement bodies don’t take a break either. We strongly feel that if you’re not confident with compliance, the best time to do something about it is now.
-
We’re going to hire someone full-time to handle complianceThat’s great - you obviously see it as a priority. What you may not recognize is how hard or expensive it is to find an expert. Most recs for full-time compliance positions take many months (or a year) to fill, cost $150-$200k/year, and have a long ramp-up period. Partnering with BCS, on the other hand, is fast, painless, uses a proven process from day one, and costs a fraction of a full-time hire.
-
We already have someone on staff who handles complianceMost of our clients do as well. What we’ve found is that the supplemental help and unique processes and perspectives of BCS make these existing resources far more productive, and provide an even greater level of care for your employer groups.
-
I can’t stand compliance - don’t want to mess with itWe get it. On a scale of 1-10, compliance usually scores a negative on the fun scale. That doesn’t mean it isn’t vital for your business. It’s easy to imagine a 6-figure revenue client leaving because you missed something important - and we see it all the time. Often the most important efforts in your business are the ones you least want to tackle - but you’re always happy that you did. Our human approach, administrative background, and process remove more pain from compliance than you might think.
-
We don’t need the help - we’re referral only and most of our accounts have been with us foreverWe're glad for your success - but the benefits business is changing. Even in smaller markets, HR professionals are getting more technical and more aware of the compliance responsibilities for employers. Combine this with new products and approaches to group plans and we’re seeing even the well-established agencies losing long-standing accounts to those providing new insight and approaches. The only constant in business is change - and benefits business is in the middle of a renaissance.
