The Yaffe Difference is based on expert personal service that uses a strategic and customized approach to meet the challenging and ever-changing governance needs of our clients.

"I want to again thank you for your thoughtful guidance throughout the years. I have especially appreciated those occasions when you have found it necessary to express frank observations in a professional manner when it may not have been in your firm's best interest. It has been a pleasure to work with you knowing that you would be certain that we complied with the spirit of the regulations while treating our leadership team fairly." Client Board Chair

Accountability

All of our services are performed on behalf of the board and its leadership.  Although we work closely and collaboratively with management, our accountability is to the board. 

 

Independence

We are privately owned and all of our shareholds work for the firm.  We do not sell insurance, annuities, mutual funds, or any other products needed to implement programs we recommend.  This independence allows us to strive to do only that which is in the best interest of our clients, without compromising our practice to meet the requirements of others.  In this way, clients can be assured of the integrity of our service.

 

Expertise

We are relationship driven, and providing personal service is the way we do business.  You work directly with a dedicated team of professionals, consisting of a Senior Consultant and a Client Manager, who understand your objectives.  Our Senior Consultants are a combination of past hospital CEOs and college presidents. They have a broad and comprehensive perspective that combines technical knowledge with industry expertise.

 

Compliance Driven

In our ever changing environment, organizations are increasingly subject to public and regulatory scrutiny. Our process ensures that the various IRS requirements for committee independence and "rebuttable presumption" are met. We consistantly review our process, and update our materials to continue to meeting all changing regulatory requirements.
