Shepherd-Knapp-Appleton, Inc. was founded by B. Shepherd, B.F Knapp, and G.C. Appleton in 1889. To respond to today’s market demands, we have evolved into two complementary divisions: SKA Financial Services and SKA Employer Solutions. 

 

Generations of talented professionals have created a culture built on a deep-seated drive to search beyond the perceived boundaries of how people solve problems.

It takes critical thinking, judgment built on long experience, inspiration and a willingness to go far beyond the extra mile.
