Favorite Thing About Working With Clients

“It is a wonderful feeling to know that when we make recommendations to our plan sponsor clients about plan design, fees, investments, wellness programs, and employee advice solutions, we are making a positive impact on the financial success of thousands of people.”

My Philosophy On Client Service

“We are in the service business, and I have always used the expression ‘ask the next question’ to understand a client’s challenge or problem. Never settle for ‘let’s just get it fixed.’ When a client has an issue, it is our responsibility to do three things: 1) fix the problem, 2) determine the reason for the error, and 3) implement procedures to ensure it does not happen again.”

The 2024 PLANADVISER Top Retirement Plan Advisers recognition recognizes the top retirement plan advisers in the industry based on quantitative measures from the year prior. To be listed, advisers had to have a minimum requirement of 50 plan clients or retirement plan assets under advisement of $400 million or more. After meeting the minimum plan or asset count, advisers are also highlighted if they meet the following categories: meaning, 91% – 100% of clients that are 401(k) plan sponsors, or 10 or more 403(b), 457, nonqualified, DB, cash balance, SEP, SIMPLE or MEP/PEP plan clients.
