Global Hub for Actuarial Excellence
Graeme Group draws on a global network of credentialed actuaries, each selected for demonstrated expertise in their specialty. The same vetted bench supplies both contractor placements and consulting teams.
Why Work With Us
Our reverence for the actuarial profession seeps into everything we do.
Graeme Group was founded and is run by actuaries. That shows in how work is scoped, staffed and reviewed: engagements align with the client's wider actuarial strategy, and the issues behind a request are understood before the work begins.
Why Engage Graeme Group
-
Scale with the cycle

Read details: Scale with the cycle
- Contract actuaries and project teams are available when you need them most, such as valuation or bid review cycles.
- They roll off when the peak passes.
- Your actuarial workforce expands or contracts with demand, without permanent hiring decisions.
-
Bring in expertise you do not have yet
Bring specialist expertise into your team and retain the knowledge.
Read details: Bring in expertise you do not have yet
- Consultants and contractors with niche skill sets close a knowledge gap or stand up a new service area in its initial phase.
- They work alongside your team so the knowledge is shared and retained after they leave.
- No headcount adjustments are needed once the build phase ends.
-
Lower total cost
Pay for the expertise you need, for the period you need it.
Read details: Lower total cost
- A lean operating model removes non-essential overhead while preserving actuarial depth and analytical rigor.
- Contractors cover their own materials and benefits, such as pension and health insurance.
- Contractors are engaged only for the period their services are needed.
- Contractors do not need to be actively managed.
- Over the long run this is typically significantly cheaper than hiring permanent actuarial employees.
-
Fast to start, responsive throughout
Short interviews, flexible start dates, and delivery at your pace.
Read details: Fast to start, responsive throughout
- Contractor interviews are significantly shorter than for permanent placements.
- Notice periods are usually less than 2 weeks, sometimes immediate.
- Onboarding partners complete employment status and compliance checks, timesheet approval and invoicing quickly.
- Consulting deliverables are aligned to the client’s pace, structure and decision cycles, including projects that need rapid results.
-
Professional standards
Actuarial standards, data security, and procurement controls built in.
Read details: Professional standards
- Work is performed in line with ASOPs and American Academy of Actuaries guidance.
- Strict AML and data security protocols apply.
- The controls a procurement team asks for are already in place, which shortens vendor onboarding and reduces third-party risk.
-
Layered quality assurance
Multi-stage review and qualified peer checks before delivery.
Read details: Layered quality assurance
- Consulting deliverables pass structured, multi-stage internal review.
- Qualified peers cross-check every deliverable before it is issued.
- This matters most where outputs feed board or regulatory processes.
-
Test permanent employees before hiring them
Confirm fit through a contract engagement before making a permanent hire.
Read details: Test permanent employees before hiring them
- Take on a prospective hire as a contractor first and confirm fit before committing to a permanent role.
- This benefits the organization and the contractor equally.
Controls behind every engagement
Graeme Group LLC operates with full transparency and independence, free from external ownership structures, offshore entities, private equity firms, or financial institutions that could exert undue influence, compromise our commitment to clients’ best interests, or obscure accountability.
Insurance in force. General liability, workers compensation, cyber, and professional liability (errors and omissions). Certificates are available on request.
Background checks. Every contractor is screened before an engagement starts: criminal record and global watchlist screening, identity and education verification, and international screening where the contractor is based outside the US.
"I provided actuarial contracting services to one of Graeme Group's Big 4 US clients between 12/2022 and 01/2024. Graeme Group did a fantastic job in finding me top-tier actuarial work at above-market rates, supporting my onboarding/administrative enrollment, ensuring my contract was executed upon in a stable and predictable manner, responding with urgency to all my questions (both actuarial and administrative), and embodying the highest degree of professionalism I've seen in my career. Highly recommend utilizing their services!"
