Experience

Harper Danesh provides big-firm expertise with individualized service. We bring over five decades of experience advising on the design, compliance, administration and exit strategies for defined benefit, defined contribution, and post-retirement medical plans.

Service

We’re not your typical actuaries. Successful management of pension plans is not just numbers-related. We bring strong communications, writing, and teaching skills and translate industry jargon into a language your executives and your participants will understand.

Value

We believe that today’s pension landscape demands a different way of thinking about fees. Each client’s needs are different, and we customize an approach to fit your objectives and budget.

We make your needs our top priority. We take pride in our service and expertise with the design and financial analysis of defined benefit, defined contribution, and other post-employment benefit (OPEB) plans. This includes a focus on ongoing plan administration and compliance, as well as derisking strategies and plan terminations.
