Guest Bio:
Stephanie Neault’s career began in special education and took a winding path through the world of finance before landing in the retirement industry. Since 2019, she’s been part of Pension Assurance LLP, where she started as an auditor and now also leads as the firm’s Recruiting Manager. Stephanie thrives on being part of projects that help others—whether in the thick of multiple 401(k) audits or guiding future accountants through their next big step. Her mission remains constant: to bring transparency, integrity, and standout communication to every role she takes on.
If she wanted to brag, she could say that she holds an MBA from California Lutheran University and is a board member of Western Pension and Benefits Council—Portland Chapter. In 2018, she finished the L.A marathon. Voted “best wife” by her husband in 2023 and 2024. Overall, actions speak louder than anything that goes on your resume.
Off the clock, Stephanie is an adventure-loving traveler, always planning the next trip with her husband (already checked off 24 countries). She lives for new memories, unfamiliar cities, and food that tells a story. Equal parts grounded and whimsical, she can crush a deadline, plan a flawless spreadsheet, and host a dreamy tea party all in the same week. Most at home when surrounded by great books, dogs, and her favorite people, Stephanie believes life gets slightly easier when you reach outside your comfort zone, ignore your fears, and try a new solution to an old problem.
