Paychex, Inc. (Nasdaq: PAYX), an industry-leading human capital management (HCM) company, today introduced Participant Event Notifications, an AI-powered wealth management solution for financial advisors. This pioneering new advisor plan management tool leverages both payroll and plan level data to alert advisors through real-time notifications within the Paychex Flex® Advisor Console when retirement plan participants reach key data milestones and have work or life events—enabling proactive engagement to assist participants with their financial planning needs, ultimately driving better retirement outcomes and uncovering new investment opportunities.

As financial advisors increasingly integrate retirement and wealth management strategies, Participant Event Notifications proactively make advisors aware any time there’s an opportunity to engage and support the participant. Advisors receive notifications when participants reach certain age or status thresholds, change retirement or employment status, or when a newly eligible employee has yet to enroll. These customizable insights enable advisors to proactively engage participants at pivotal moments, enhancing client relationships, improving retirement outcomes, and expanding advisors’ books of business.

“Paychex is deeply committed to helping Americans secure their financial futures,” said Scott Buffington, vice president and general manager of retirement at Paychex. “As the 401(k) recordkeeper for 124,000 plans, we feel a great deal of responsibility to provide plan sponsors and financial advisors with innovative tools that enable proactive, personalized participant support. Participant Event Notifications deliver critical data—at no additional charge—so advisors can make smarter, more timely recommendations that meet participants where they are on their financial journey.”
