ABOUT CHARON PLANNING
Our History

Charon Planning's history is a story of experience, growth and entrepreneurial spirit that continues to this day.

Charon Planning has been helping employers find cost-effective benefit solutions since 1993. Under the leadership of the organization’s owners, J. Lawrence Hager and Christopher Gavigan, Charon Planning quickly evolved into a growing, full service benefit consulting organization.  By 1999 Charon Planning had achieved regional and national recognition, earning a spot on the fastest growing privately held companies lists of Inc. Magazine and The Philadelphia Business Journal.

In 2000 Charon Planning was sold to National Financial Partners (NFP), an NYSE listed firm that distributes financial and consulting services to companies and high net worth individuals. Simultaneous to the sale, Charon Planning's owners formed Charon Management LLC, thereby retaining all management responsibility and authority for Charon Planning.

The sale provided Charon Planning with access to capital markets and the means to boost employee commitment and reward through stock ownership. NFP's national presence also expanded Charon Planning's exposure and ability to serve clients across the country.

"The whole Charon team does such an outstanding job for us - phenomenal customer service and a can-do spirit. They are just incredible."
