You may have noticed some changes around here, so please allow us to introduce you to 4C Advising, your partner for risk management, compliance, HR, and employee care solutions. We created 4C Advising as a complementary brand to Fusco Orsini & Associates because we know we can do more for our clients. 4C encompasses what I needed and wished I had as a co-founder myself. 

Three years into starting Fusco Orsini & Associates (FOA), I realized that we had to spend money to grow our business. What’s that age-old saying…it costs money to make money?

I noticed we were missing support in key business areas, including HR, employee care, and compliance. Our larger competitors had the means to hire support in these areas, but we didn’t have the funds to do so. 10 years later (we are now going into our 14th year), it STILL makes sense for FOA to outsource many of these services, especially in risk management and compliance. 

I was frustrated and couldn’t yet hire a full C-suite or an expensive roster of consultants, so I looked at solutions that allowed us to scale the business without breaking the bank.

Talking to my clients daily, I know I am not alone with these challenges. Most businesses, especially small-to-medium businesses, face risk management, compliance, HR, and employee care issues. 

Enter 4C Advising.

When we work with clients (and I can’t believe we’ve worked with more than 20,000 of them to date!), we don’t just address surface-level needs but instead look into the nitty gritty details. Why? Because we truly want our clients to succeed. There’s no reason not to want to support good people doing good work. But, over the past couple of years, I was starting to feel like our ability to help people was limited because our identity was limited to insurance.

4C was waiting…asking to be born. Its solutions go hand-in-hand with everything we do at FOA. And it is a new way for us to support our clients’ success—clients who are going through the same growing pains we’ve gone through.

If you’re feeling understaffed or under-resourced and aren’t able to pay for a full c-suite or roster of expensive consultants, you’re not alone. 75% of businesses are understaffed. The good news is we can help. And we want to help.

So, how does this all work?

After you share your most pressing needs via the below intake form, you will meet 1:1 with a 4C advisor who will build custom recommendations for your business. You can then select the services that will help you safeguard your assets today. We will check in regularly to ensure everything is running smoothly and keep business resources at your fingertips in your client portal.

We’ve witnessed how detrimental it can be to “table” these solutions in your business for later (again, I wish I had implemented some of these solutions sooner in my company). And we’re glad to have found a way to come alongside clients as their highly communicative right-hand advisors. 

Let’s foresee your vulnerabilities, safeguard your assets, and ensure your growth together. I’m ready to go all in, are you?
