Michelle Skrip

Michelle Skrip, ERPA, QPA, is recognized by Continental Who’s Who among Pinnacle Professionals in the field of Financial Services. Michelle is a Partner with Qualified Pension Professionals, Inc. (QPPI).

Founded in 1999, Qualified Pension Professionals, Inc. is a full service third party administration firm specializing in 401(k) and profit sharing plans for retirement needs. Delivering first-class customer service, QPPI assists small to medium sized business owners meet their retirement savings goals and maintain compliance within their retirement plans. They want to ensure the plan is a positive benefit to the owners and their employees.

 In this capacity, Michelle’s areas of expertise include retirement plan administration of qualified 401(k), Profit Sharing, and Pension plans. She has almost fifteen years of experience in the industry, and holds certifications as a Qualified Pension Administrator (QPA) and Qualified 401(k) Administrator (QKA) through the American Society of Pension Professionals and Actuaries. She is also an Enrolled Retirement Plan Agent (ERPA) which allows her to represent clients in front of the IRS.

 

Michelle states her key to success is empathizing with business owners and HR personnel. She understands that this is not their main focus and keeping up with the ever changing regulations is a full time job itself. She also believes it’s important to take the time to do things right the first time because it is usually much more costly to make corrections after the fact. Her advice to those starting out in the industry is “don’t step on others to get ahead and never stop learning”. Additionally, Michelle maintains affiliation with the American Society of Pension Professionals and Actuaries (ASPPA), National Institute of Pension Administrators (NIPA), and National Association of Professional Women (NAPW). Outside of work she enjoys ballet and spending time with her husband and dog. Michelle is charitable toward organizations including the ASPCA and the Humane Society of America.
