"Stephanie's role will be multi-faceted with responsibilities in key account management, operations, technology, and business development. Her varied background in financial services gives Stephanie an excellent perspective and knowledge base. We very much look forward to utilizing her expertise to further enhance the service model at ARP and to reinforce the firm’s reputation as a leading retirement plan advisory firm in the South."

Atlanta Retirement Partners (ARP) serves more than fifty institutional retirement plans for various governmental, private and tax-exempt organizations. The firm’s service philosophy is that “people come first.” The success of an employee retirement program is measured by individual employee retirement outcomes. This focus, which permeates ARP’s approach, makes Stephanie an excellent addition to the team.
In recent years, qualified plan administration has grown increasing complex, both for the plan sponsor and the participant. Atlanta Retirement Partners works with retirement plan sponsors to create and follow a process that seeks to both fulfill fiduciary responsibility and drive positive retirement outcomes. ARP and founder, David Griffin, have been recognized for working directly with plan participants as well as plan sponsors, seeking input from both to develop retirement programs that address the needs of both. These efforts have helped promote more successful retirement programs, where employees better understand their retirement plan, their personal goals, and how today’s decisions will impact their retirement. “That’s why we take a very hands-on approach to employee education”, Griffin notes, and it is one reason why David Griffin has been recognized by the National Association of Plan Advisors as one of 2016’s “Top 50 under 40”[1] and has been named to the 2015 Financial Times “Top 401 Retirement Plan Advisors”[2] list.
