Experience
Steven J. Cochlan has been serving executives and directors of companies, large and small, in diversified industries since 1983. Regarded as a pioneer in the design, implementation and financing of nonqualified executive benefit plans, Steve founded The Cochlan Group, Inc. in 1998 and serves as its President and Chief Executive Officer. TCG was created to focus specialized expertise on the executive benefit needs of public and private corporations, as well as not-for-profit institutions.
Integrity
Relationships are the foundation of our business. We know that worthwhile relationships cannot be built and will not withstand the test of time without a firm commitment to honesty and integrity in all of our dealings with clients, vendors, associates and everyone else associated with us.
Innovation
At TCG, we do not believe in a “one plan fits all” approach. Our services are tailored to meet your specific needs and expectations. Too many firms try to fit the client’s needs into a pre-existing template. Our goal is to listen and learn about our clients, their people and their collective needs and then, design a solution tailored specifically to meet those needs.
Technology
BCG uses proprietary, state-of-the-art technology to model and administer nonqualified benefit plans. This technology allows BCG to develop faster, more efficient transaction processes and plan administration services, saving plan sponsors considerable amounts of time and cost, and providing plan participants many benefits not seen with other systems. No other system in the entire nonqualified plan industry offers the combined strengths of so many powerful capabilities and options.
