About NineTwo

There are many TPA’s in the NY Metro area, but just a handful are real competitors. Why so few? Too many firms in this industry work on volume, revenue sharing and provide the lowest common denominator in service. Is that really who you want to manage your retirement savings (one of your largest assets)? While most TPA’s position themselves as an employee benefit, they create plans for the employer. They work for business owners and their partners. Their typical client has between 2-50 employees. However, they can handle much larger organizations, and they serve clients across the US and internationally. The firm wants to work with clients who understand and appreciate our individualized approach. Creating leading-edge plans that work for each business owner’s unique needs --no cookie-cutter plans-- is our area of expertise!
