You may also make additional contributions. Our 401(k) plan is administered through Fidelity, a leader in retirement planning.

Health Insurance (ICHRA)

We offer flexibility and choice through an Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA). With ICHRA, Rios Partners contributes tax-free dollars toward your health insurance premiums, allowing you to select the plan that fits your needs rather than being restricted to a one-size-fits-all group plan.

• Additional paid time off for life events such as bereavement, jury duty, and voting

Parental Leave (Maternity, Paternity, and Adoption)

Welcoming a child is a major life milestone, and we’re here to support you. Eligible employees receive 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave for birth, adoption, or foster care placements. This benefit is available to team members who have been employed full-time for at least 12 months and are in good standing.

Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

Your well-being matters. Our EAP, provided through Health Advocate, offers confidential support for personal and professional challenges—including mental health counseling, substance abuse, parenting support, grief counseling, and more.

Training and Development

Rios Partners is committed to helping you achieve your highest potential. Our personal view is that this is best accomplished through a combination of client engagements, opportunities to take on new roles within the team, and internal (team) / external (expert) training.
