Multiemployer and Public Sector Plan Solutions

Plan Design Analysis
We keep cost/benefit optimization up to date with current benchmarks, peer comparisons and emerging industry thinking.

Modeling
A key part of our financial management service is looking forward at the impact of current or potential plan design.

Cash Flow Projection
We provide a roadmap to understanding if the plan meets your goals—both short and long term.

Bargaining Assistance
Collective bargaining support is one of our strengths. We provide all the data and support you need to negotiate the most beneficial outcomes possible.

Performance above and beyond: Retiree Health

We consult on all types of Health & Welfare plans, as well as Retirement and countless other programs. So do many others. We also consult on both defined benefit and defined contribution retirement plans. A few others do that too. But what makes us unique is that we maintain a dedicated team strictly for performing the Other Post-Employment Benefit (OPEB) valuations—also known as "Retiree Health" thus providing greater synergy in addressing active and retiree health plan solutions.
Required Reports for OPEB
You can stop stressing about compliance with required OPEB actuarial valuations right now. We have your back for all of it:
