– Family History
Rooted in Values.
Built for the Long Term.
Hunnex & Shoemaker began in 1977 as a small, family-run firm with a clear mission: to help business owners offer retirement benefits that truly support their people and their goals. That mission still drives us today. We’ve grown into a trusted regional provider with our headquarters in Seattle, a team of over 40 professionals across the West Coast, and a reputation for being responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in our clients’ success.
We specialize in retirement plan consulting and administration that’s tailored to each client’s needs. From plan design and compliance to participant support and annual reporting, we take the burden off employers so they can focus on running their business—while knowing their employees’ futures are in good hands.
Whether you're a financial advisor, CPA, or employer, we serve as your partner behind the plan—offering clarity, care, and decades of experience.
Tailored Plans. Trusted Support.
