About Us

We are a privately-held consulting firm that is a driving force in the financial services industry. We develop strategies that enhance and maximize the value of our clients’ benefits, pension, retirement, and wealth management programs. We invite you to benefit from our strategies.

Founded in 1985, The Consulting House Inc. is a boutique consulting firm based in Toronto, Ontario. We’re independent, privately held, and dedicated to serving clients across the Greater Toronto area, Ontario, throughout Canada, and the United States. We develop innovative and timely solutions to help meet the needs of our clients. We’re focused on enhancing your group benefits, retirement, wealth management, and insurance solutions.

We help you spend your group benefit dollars wisely.

The Consulting House was founded after recognizing the large gap in expertise and service between large corporations and small- to medium-sized companies in their employee benefits programs. We believe that every company, big or small, deserves superior service and the maximum return on their benefit dollars.

We’ll develop the right strategy for your specific requirements.

Today, our consultants, associates, and advisors have more than 150 years of collective experience in benefits, retirement, and insurance services. Our Founder, Simon Sabat, has instilled in the team his core belief that the client comes first. The solutions and recommendations are based on an understanding of the issues, challenges, and specific needs of our clients.

A diverse clientele means that clients often face unique situations. It is at times like these where we look beyond traditional methods to formulate proprietary strategies to address these unique obstacles that our clients have faced.

We look forward to becoming an extension of your team and invite you to Benefit from Our Strategies.

Our Core Values

Our passion is helping businesses attract, retain & protect great people.

Trustworthy

Trust is the foundation of any successful relationship, and it starts with being honest and transparent. We strive to earn the trust of our clients, partners, and colleagues by doing what we say we will do, and by holding ourselves to the highest ethical standards.

Client First

We are in the business of providing advice, and our success depends on our ability to meet the needs and exceed the expectations of our clients. Whether we are developing new strategies, solving client challenges, or just responding to a customer inquiry, we always put the client first.

Responsiveness

Is key to our success. We understand that in today’s fast-paced world, time is of the essence. We strive to be responsive to our clients, partners, and colleagues, and to deliver results quickly and efficiently.

Creative

We believe that innovation and creativity are key to staying ahead of the curve and providing the best solutions for our clients. We encourage our team to think outside the box, challenge conventional wisdom, and take calculated risks in pursuit of breakthrough ideas.

Continuous Improvement

We are always looking for ways to get better. We never settle for mediocrity. We are committed to continuous learning and growth, and we embrace change as a means to achieve excellence.

What We Offer

Our clients know that we deliver sound advice, exceptional service and results in the implementation and management of their employee benefits, retirement and insurance programs.

Group Benefits and Retirement Programs to Attract and Retain Key Employees

Attracting and retaining a strong workforce is vital to profitability and success. Employees no longer look at salary alone when considering a career move. A comprehensive benefits and retirement program illustrates your commitment to your employees, and to the success and stability of your organization.

Innovative and Timely Solutions for wherever your Business is Headed

As a driving force in our industry, we push forward with innovative and timely solutions. Our strategies help our clients cope with the rising cost and diminishing returns on their benefit programs. Our first proprietary strategy focused on the short-term disability benefit is still relevant today despite first being profiled in Benefits Canada magazine in 1987 and more recently in the June 2001 issue (‘Is it time to scrap STD?’).

Benefit Solutions that Meet Your Needs and Save you Money

We’re committed to helping you deliver a benefits and retirement program that will work successfully within your organization.

We guarantee our new clients a minimum 10% savings for the same or an enhanced benefits program. To get a more accurate estimate of projected savings based on our strategies, please contact us for a quick, customized, assessment.
