Acquisition expansion Rael & Letson grew through strategic acquisition by acquiring Aukema & Associates, expanding capabilities in communications and strategic consulting alongside actuarial and benefits work. This suggests a receptivity to integrating specialized partners and cross-selling advisory services.

Expanded footprint With offices in San Mateo, San Diego, Seattle, and Honolulu and a multi-state presence, there are opportunities to cross-sell to a broader client base and leverage regional relationships to win new multiemployer plans and health benefits engagements.

Scale and stability Estimated revenue of 100M–250M and a workforce of 51–200 indicate a mid-market firm with established processes, enabling scalable solutions in retirement, health, and pharmacy benefits that can be offered to similar plan sponsors and unions.

Tech-enabled services Use of modern tech stack (Open Graph, SharePoint, Mailchimp, React, reCAPTCHA, HTTP/3, SEO tools) supports digital engagement, data analytics, and streamlined communications—prospects include firms seeking enhanced analytics, participant engagement, and compliance in benefits programs.

Strategic opportunities Recent acquisition signals openness to strategic partnerships and expanded services; sales conversations can emphasize integrated actuarial, health, pharmacy, and communications consulting for larger retirement and health plans, with potential for cross-sell to existing clients and Aukema’s network.
