FuturePlan is the nation’s largest third-party administrator (TPA) of retirement plans, partnering with advisors in all 50 states. FuturePlan delivers the best of both worlds: high-touch personalized service from local TPAs backed by the strength and security of a large national firm, Ascensus. Our roots go back decades, with nearly 30 outstanding legacy firms now joined together to deliver unmatched levels of service, innovation and expertise to a fast-growing client base from coast to coast. The FuturePlan team includes more than 500 credentialed plan professionals, 60 actuaries, and one of the industry’s largest in-house ERISA teams. Learn more at FuturePlan.com.

Being an actuary requires a unique blend of aptitude for detail-oriented analysis, high-level problem solving, and healthy communication skills.

At FuturePlan by Ascensus, we consult on Defined Benefit and Healthcare plans. Both require a great deal of effort and knowledge to administer. Each plan is unique and can have thousands of participants, each with individual data and needs.

Ascensus is dedicated to maximizing the potential of our greatest asset - our employees. Our summer internship program is designed to allow you to experience your prospective career path. You will be involved in the same projects as our actuaries. You will learn actuarial techniques, how to best communicate your work to others, how to research various issues related to the industry, and other skills needed to begin a successful actuarial career.
