Energy questions
Who is a fit?
A private U.S. employer with 20+ full-time W-2s, with the owner, CFO, or office manager reachable.
Who is not a fit?
Under 20 full-time, 1099-heavy shops sold as W-2, or a public district or state campus until FICA status is known.
How is the 15 minutes spent?
We confirm the business, hear which door matters, and explain what the specialist would review next.
Do you force both doors on one call?
No. Choose energy, Payroll & Benefits, or neither. One door is enough.
Who should attend?
Whoever controls payroll, plus whoever pays the utility bill for an energy review.
What does the specialist actually do?
The specialist presents the relevant review and says what information would be needed to assess a next step.
What is the 90 Second Energy Audit?
The 90 Second Energy Audit is a free, no-obligation first read on a building's energy. You answer what you know and skip what you don't; the specialist researches the rest and sends back a high-level read on where power may be wasted. It is a screen, not a survey, and there is no site visit or paperwork.
Do you install equipment?
No. Bouldin I/O sets the meeting. If the conversation proceeds, the energy specialist does the work.
Section B / Door 2
§125 plan questions
Do you administer a plan or run payroll?
No. An independent administrator presents a §125 tax-advantaged benefits review. We do not administer the plan or run payroll codes.
What is the CPA's role?
Your CPA is the gate. The specialist runs the payroll analysis; you decide with your CPA.
What does the benefits program actually include for employees?
It offers 24/7 virtual primary and urgent care, unlimited virtual counseling, and access to generic medications. It also includes dental and vision discounts, discounted labs, imaging and procedures, plus wellness coaching, nutrition, and stress-management support.
Does this replace our existing health plan?
No. Existing benefits stay in place, and existing major medical stays alongside the program.
Do we have to wait for open enrollment?
No. The program does not require waiting for an open enrollment window.
Do we have to change brokers?
No. The employer keeps their existing broker.
Who handles enrollment and compliance?
The benefits program handles enrollment, communication, and compliance for the employer.
What does the employer have to do?
The employer decides with their CPA and provides what the specialist needs for the payroll analysis. Enrollment, communication, and compliance are handled for them.
Does the employer's existing major medical stay in place?
Yes. The benefits program is presented to sit alongside existing major medical.
Is virtual care real care, or just a phone line?
It includes 24/7 virtual primary and urgent care, plus unlimited virtual counseling. It is care access outside a clinic visit.
Are these benefits available to employees' families?
Yes. The program offers this access to employees and their families.
What happens after the 15-minute call?
The specialist explains the next information needed, and you decide with your CPA whether to continue. The call does not commit you to a next step.
The fit
Know before you book.
Fit is: private US employer with 20+ full-time W-2s (sweet spot under 200), where we can reach whoever controls payroll — owner, CFO, or office manager — on a building that still treats utilities as the bill. Not a fit: under 20 full-time, 1099-heavy shops sold as W-2, or a public district or state campus until FICA status is known.
