What Does an Actuary Do & What Are Actuarial Services?

Before we dive into what sets CBIZ Actuarial Consulting Services apart, we want to address a common question we often receive: What does an actuary do  and what are actuarial services?

Ultimately, an actuary’s job is to analyze the financial costs of risk and uncertainty. In fact, actuaries specialize in risk. They bring with them deep industry knowledge, business acumen and strong analytical skills, all of which come together to help organizations understand the risk of potential events and minimize the cost associated with those risks.

How Can an Actuary Help Reduce Benefits Costs?

Our Actuarial Consulting Services team, led by Dave Rubadue, FSA, MAAA, CLU, National Director of Health Care Actuarial Services, offers a variety of services and solutions intended to help employers control benefits costs while maximizing their employees’ wellbeing.

By applying methodologies that follow the standards enacted by the American Academy of Actuaries, our team makes data-driven decisions to help your organization successfully manage your employee benefits program, achieve sustainable growth and profit, improve health care coverage for your employees and maintain compliance.

We leverage sophisticated data analytics and a deep understanding of the health care industry to perform statistical and financial analyses, offer growth-oriented solutions, provide compliance recommendations and deliver pricing and product development guidance.
