We adhere to the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct.
These standards are how Pension CFO gains and keeps the confidence of our clients. We recognize that trust is only possible when our values and behavior consistently reflect these standards. Pension CFO puts you first.
Pension CFO works with companies that have old-style Defined Benefit Pension plans. Typically, our clients are small to medium size companies, both public and private, who offered pensions to their employees in the past. Companies who made this honorable agreement with their employees are now struggling with the complexity, uncertainty, risk, and cost of these obligations. The year-end actuarial report can have a significant financial impact on the company by requiring large unexpected changes on the balance sheet and requiring additional funds to be paid into the plan to meet legal obligations.
Overseeing financial operations, including analyzing company financial strength and weakness, is why Pension CFO works directly with our client CFO to create a plan that will mitigate the actuarial requirements of funding the pension plan while stabilizing corporate profitability.
