White-label actuarial support for accounting firms and TPAs
Finbryn provides white-label actuarial support for accounting firms and TPAs, preparing valuation workpapers, data checks and roll-forwards to your templates and assumption set during filing season. Finbryn's signing actuary signs accounting reports, an enrolled actuary signs the Schedule SB and other ERISA funding work, and Form 5500 for a calendar-year plan is due July 31.
What is included
- Census and asset data checks with a written exceptions list
- Valuation workpapers built to your firm's templates and assumption set
- Roll-forward calculations between full valuation dates
- A review file organized for the signing actuary
- Input labels showing what was client-supplied and what was prepared
- A working calendar tracked against your filing dates
The process
- 1.
Scope the batch and sign the data terms
List the plans, valuation dates and your filing calendar. Agree confidentiality and transfer terms in writing.
- 2.
Receive census and asset data
Data arrives in your intake format. Each field is logged as client-supplied.
- 3.
Run data checks
Compare against the prior year, flag duplicates, odd pay and missing dates, and return a written exceptions list.
- 4.
Build workpapers to your template
Calculations follow your assumption set. Roll-forwards run where a full valuation is not due.
- 5.
Deliver the review file
Exceptions first, then results, then support schedules, in the folder layout the signing actuary uses.
- 6.
The signing actuary reviews and signs
The signing actuary decides assumptions and reliance and signs the accounting or reserve report. An enrolled actuary signs Schedule SB and other ERISA funding work, and the engagement letter confirms who signs any filing. Your firm delivers the work to its client.
- 7.
Auditor or regulator receives the signed work
Actuarial questions from the auditor go to the signing actuary. Finbryn answers follow-up data questions through you.
