What is an Actuary?

Actuaries analyze the potential cost of uncertainty, mostly to mitigate risk and minimize loss. Using statistical and mathematical models, they predict and quantify outcomes for insurance companies, financial institutions, and many other entities. Among other benefits, Actuaries help to determine rates, capital requirements, reserves to pay claim obligations, cash flow projections, return on investment, and actuarial certification of reserves.

With a long list of clients that stretches across the country, we have over 16 years of service under the current ownership of Roger Burton, our President and Managing Consultant.
