About First Actuarial:

First Actuarial has been around since 2004, when a small group of like-minded actuaries came together to bring fresh thinking to pensions consultancy.

Two decades later, we're heading for 20% revenue growth this year, employing around 425 people across five locations.

We're still an independent business with no chargeable hours targets, giving our people the time to deliver their best work and excel.

We shape our high-quality services by listening closely to our clients' needs. And we price those services fairly.

As we develop our business, prospects for our people grow. Our Basingstoke, Leeds, Manchester, Peterborough and Tonbridge offices provide supportive work environments where everyone can make a difference. We enjoy work and celebrate our successes. And we provide support and helpful feedback so we all learn and improve.

We love numbers, but we love people more. Staff wellbeing and work-life balance have always been core values. Beyond the firm, we're known for our integrity. We're happy to challenge conventional thinking and speak up.
