TIAA Financial Planning for University Faculty
Scott was employed by TIAA in the mid-90’s and is proud to say that he knows the ins and outs of a complex and unique Company better than anyone! With great respect for what was the biggest monopoly in “owning” the Higher Education market, much is a mystery to participants and outsiders.
For over 25 years, we have customized services to many “Key employees” (professors) of Institutions that for many years only had a customer service 800 number to call. We complement the TIAA participant experience with services that differentiate our services with TIAA. And most other financial services companies.
