Daybright Financial

What Daybright Financial does

Daybright Financial, formerly U.S. Retirement & Benefits Partners (USRBP), is a privately held national benefits and retirement planning solutions firm founded in 2008 and headquartered in Iselin, New Jersey. The company operates across 40 US office locations and serves 22,000+ employer clients covering 3.6 million plan participants, with $900M+ in premiums under management and $125B+ in assets under administration/management. Daybright rebranded from USRBP to Daybright Financial in March 2025 to signal a broader mission spanning health and financial wellness, and operates as a roll-up of more than a dozen acquired regional partner firms whose brands are typically retained post-acquisition.

Daybright's product surface spans benefits consulting and plan design, benefits administration (medical, dental, vision, HSA/FSA/HRA, voluntary worksite and other healthcare coverage), retirement plan services (401(k), 403(b), 457(b), 401(a) design, administration, recordkeeping, actuarial and investment advisory support), compliance services (ACA/HR consulting, DOL notices, 5500 preparation, audit support, leave administration), and individual financial planning (retirement, investment, and insurance planning). In October 2025 the company launched a multilingual suite of AI-powered employee benefits education, communications, and enrollment decision support tools that integrate natively with major HRIS platforms (ADP, Workday, UKG). The technical architecture pairs domain-specialized AI content generation with HRIS integration and an enhanced Compliance Data Center for regulatory tracking and audit support.

Revenue derives from professional services (consulting, plan design, administration, recordkeeping), managed services (TPA and compliance), and asset/participant-based fees tied to $125B+ AUM/AUA across 3.6M participants, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales (public sector employers including K-12 districts and municipalities, private sector employers, and non-profits), distribution through a network of regional partner firms and benefits brokers/PEOs, and HRIS-embedded delivery through technology integrations. The company has executed three 2025 acquisitions — Spectrum Pension Consultants (July 2025), Hessel & Associates (August 2025), and The Platinum 401k (September 2025) — to expand pension consulting and MEP/PEP capabilities in Illinois and Florida.
