Helping employers build stronger teams through strategic employee benefits since 2017.
Benton Oakfield was founded in 2017 with one simple goal: to offer employee benefits with purpose and passion. We believe that benefits aren't just numbers on a spreadsheet—they're the backbone of your business and a reflection of your values.
Our founder, Thomas Hart, is a second-generation employee benefits broker who began his career in the insurance industry in 1996. With decades of experience, Thomas brings a deep understanding of both the business and human sides of benefits planning.
At Benton Oakfield, we combine this legacy of expertise with a modern, relationship-driven approach. We partner with employers of all sizes to craft benefit strategies that attract talent, support employees, and align with long-term goals.
Employee benefits are what we do. But helping people—that's who we are.
Working in a supportive environment is essential, and our benefits solutions ensure your employees feel valued and engaged. Accessing our resources has never been easier.
We specialize in alternative funding strategies that can potentially reduce costs by 15-40% for qualifying employers while enhancing coverage. These approaches, traditionally available only to large corporations, are now accessible to organizations with as few as 20 employees.
Get the benefits you need, when and where you need them.
