Employee benefits and actuarial consulting for public, corporate, and nonprofit sectors
Bolton is a 40+ year-old benefits consulting firm built almost entirely on the Microsoft stack—Microsoft 365, Azure, Power Platform, and Dynamics 365—with heavy reliance on Excel and Power BI for actuarial and financial modeling. The tech-stack shape (enterprise SaaS + Office productivity tools) reflects a professional-services model where consultants work with client data in standardized formats rather than custom software. Current projects center on Power BI dashboards, Power Automate workflows, and Intune device compliance, indicating internal digital modernization alongside client delivery.
Bolton provides employee benefits, actuarial, investment, compensation, and HR consulting services to public-sector agencies, corporate employers, nonprofit organizations, and federal clients. Founded in 1981, the firm has built its practice around pension actuarial analysis, health and welfare plan design, investment advisory, and regulatory compliance consulting. The company operates from Baltimore and maintains a consulting model that combines actuarial expertise with technology enablement through the Microsoft ecosystem. Active projects span benefit program implementations, voluntary enrollment platforms, retirement plan design, and client-facing reporting infrastructure.
Microsoft 365, Azure, Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI), Dynamics 365, Dataverse, Excel, Business Central, and Adobe Acrobat. The stack is exclusively Microsoft enterprise software with no third-party SaaS vendors in the primary toolset.
Current projects include benefit program implementations, voluntary benefits enrollment systems, custom Power BI dashboards, Power Automate workflow automation, Intune device compliance policies, retirement plan implementations, and marketing systems integration.
