Financial wellbeing for your team. A return you can measure.
Money worries quietly drain focus, attendance and loyalty, and it shows up in your numbers.
We help smaller UK businesses ease that pressure with three simple things: a review of the benefits you already pay for, practical financial education for your people, and access to a hub of independent wellbeing partners.

No cost. No obligation until you decide to proceed.
The numbers behind a recent engagement
Behind every absence figure is a person putting off opening a bill. When that worry eases, they bring their focus back to work, and they feel better for it.
Figures from a single 85-employee engagement. Every organisation is different. The types of return are consistent.
The Workplace Review
A four-step process. No cost or commitment until you decide to proceed.Every engagement begins the same way. Four short steps, light on your time, with full visibility at each point. Nothing is recommended, costed, or committed to until you have seen exactly what we propose and why. Most clients reach the proposal step within four to six weeks.
Initial conversation
Getting to know your business
A short introductory call, supported by a brief pre-meeting questionnaire that focuses the time.
Discovery
Identifying where the pressure sits
A deeper conversation that identifies where financial pressure may be affecting performance, and what is already in place to support your people.
Options
Shaping the right approach together
We review and discuss options together, designed for your size, practical to implement, and built around your situation.
Proposal
Where you decide whether to proceed
A written proposal setting out exactly what is recommended, the costs, and the expected return. This is the first point at which commitment is invited.
No cost · No obligation until proposal stage · Full programme from £140–£165 per employee per year · See fees
One programme. Three parts. Plus support that keeps it working.
The Workplace Review identifies whether action is needed. Where financial wellbeing is a driver, a three-part programme addresses the root cause: a benefits review, education and resilience, and the wellbeing hub, all held together by ongoing support. Each part is introduced only where it earns its place.
Benefits Review
Understanding what you have
A review of pensions, benefits, and financial support, identifying gaps, inefficiencies, and spend that is not performing. Employees start to understand and value what is already in place.
Education and Resilience
Helping employees feel financially in control
Practical financial education for employees (covering budgeting, debt, pensions, and planning), designed to feel achievable, not overwhelming. One-to-one guidance available where needed.
The Wellbeing Hub
Everything in one place
Access, through our independent partners, to real help with everyday money life: saving for a first home, getting on top of debt, making the household budget go further. Introduced at no additional employer cost and managed on your behalf.
"We knew something needed to change, but we did not know where to start. The improvements to the pension alone justified the engagement many times over."
Senior leader, Bristol-based organisation
"One workshop and I finally understood my pension. I sleep better knowing where I stand."

The pressures are similar. The context is different.
The underlying challenge is the same across sectors, but what works, what fits, and what is commercially justifiable differs between a limited company, an LLP, and a larger corporate.
SMEs and mid-sized businesses
For business owners and leadership teams who see the cost but have limited appetite for overhead. Every engagement begins with the Workplace Review. Nothing is introduced without it.
For limited companiesLaw firms, accountancy practices and professional services
When support staff are financially stressed, the cost falls on your fee-earners, in management time, talent loss, and client relationship risk. We address it without adding overhead to the partnership.
For LLPs and professional practicesBuilt for smaller businesses, not big corporates.
Most wellbeing and benefits solutions are designed for large corporate employers. They rely on broad platforms, generic content, and the assumption that employees will engage independently. Uptake is low. Impact is hard to measure. The organisation is left wondering whether any of it made a difference. In a smaller business, the stakes are higher.
Commercially grounded, not sentiment-led
Every recommendation has a commercial rationale. If the numbers do not justify it, we say so. Fees are presented alongside the savings we identify.
Managed on your behalf throughout
Aetas coordinates delivery, handles employee communications, and oversees implementation. You retain full visibility without managing providers yourself.
The next step is a short conversation. No cost, no obligation.
Book a call directly with Matthew Steiner, or join one of our upcoming sessions to hear the thinking first. Both are provided at no cost and carry no obligation.
