Employee Benefits for Professional Services Employers in Jackson Hole
Law · Accounting · Architecture · Engineering · Design · Consulting — across Teton County and the Wyoming–Idaho line.
Group health and employee benefits for the firms that advise, design and engineer Jackson Hole — 2,796 Teton County jobs across professional, financial, real estate and management firms. Over 20 carriers compared instead of one, built around small headcounts and a year-round roster, with one named team that stays with you through every renewal.
Compensation varies by carrier and placement structure; any client-paid broker or service fee is disclosed before you move forward.
Benefits built around a steady, high-wage roster
Teton County’s office economy, measured on the most recent quarter in the public record. Each number below changes something specific in a benefits plan, and the second half of each card says what.
2,796 jobs, and about seven and a half per employer
In the fourth quarter of 2025 Teton County carried 1,260 jobs in professional, scientific and technical services, 864 in real estate, rental and leasing, 570 in finance and insurance and 102 in management of companies — 2,796 in all, slightly more than the 2,776 in construction. Across the whole county, 2,979 employing units carried 22,440 jobs, an average of about seven and a half jobs each.
That is the small-group market at its smallest, where participation minimums and the employer contribution decide whether a plan can be written at all. We settle the participation and contribution question first, then shop it.
The season moves this sector 0.2%
Professional and technical services went from 1,262 jobs in the third quarter of 2025 to 1,260 in the fourth — a change of two jobs, or 0.2%. Over the same two quarters the county as a whole shed 17.2% of its jobs and accommodation and food service shed 29.9%.
A roster that steady takes measurement periods and variable-hour tracking out of the picture entirely. The renewal work moves to plan tiers, deductible and HSA design, and how much of the premium the firm carries for dependants.
$3,785 a week, in the highest-income county in the country
Professional and technical services averaged $3,785 a week in Teton County in the fourth quarter of 2025, against $1,819 for the county and $1,297 statewide. Securities and investment firms averaged $12,844 a week and management of companies $12,734. Teton County’s per capita personal income was $532,903 in 2024, the highest of any county in the United States, with 77.2% of it coming from dividends, interest and rent.
Wages at that level change which plan designs make sense: a high-deductible plan paired with a health savings account, a richer buy-up tier for partners and senior staff, and network breadth for people who travel. For a roster paid like that the plan works more as a retention tool than a cost line, and it is worth designing it that way.
One hospital, and clients who expect an answer
St. John’s Health is the sole health system in Jackson Hole — 48 acute care beds, more than 150 providers, and a partnership with University of Utah Health signed in 2013 that routes cancer care, neurology, pulmonology and other specialties to Salt Lake City when a case calls for it. Sage Living adds 56 long-term care beds.
A firm whose people are the product cannot afford a benefits question to eat a billable afternoon. We read the network against those exact locations, and we take the carrier calls, the census updates and the renewal timeline off your team.
Firms with staff over the state line change which carriers make sense. Huhn Insurance is licensed in Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, California and Texas, so every side your people work on gets compared.
