NAPEO
As I sit in chilly Kansas during this holiday season, I’m reminded of why we celebrate this time of year.
Thanksgiving is celebrated to remind us to give thanks for our many blessings. No matter where we are in our lives, we have to take the time to look back and remind ourselves how lucky we are to live in a country that is founded on the principles of freedom. There is plenty wrong in the world today, but those of us who have been fortunate enough to be born or raised in this country have the responsibility to be thankful for having had the opportunity to make a difference in the world around us.
Christmas is the season of giving. Rather than being thankful for what we have received, this season flips the script to focus on giving. As I grow older, there is no greater satisfaction than the giving of our resources to those around us to help make their lives better. Let us never forget that it is a privilege to give and a responsibility to do so generously.
As I ponder all of the great friendships I have developed within the PEO industry over 25 years, I am grateful. Grateful for the many people early in my career who helped me so much, asking nothing in return. And grateful for the numerous times I have had the privilege to pay it forward to many new friends who just needed a little help and encouragement to grow.
Many holiday blessing to all of you and may 2026 bear the fruit of your efforts of the past year. Great things will happen to all who persevere…bigger, better and faster!

CLIENT-LEVEL FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
If you asked someone in the PEO space what he or she thought of actuarial science a positive response might be reserve analyses or accruals. A negative response might be collateral calls or rate increases. Naturally, the varied reactions stem from whether there is positive or negative news coming from the work of the actuary. Yet, one of the most helpful projects an actuary can perform for a PEO, eliciting either positive and negative reactions, is a client-level financial analysis.
