Professional Team
Working in unison, our Advisors, support staff, Third Party Administrators and Plan Platform companies, work with the Plan Sponsor to design and implement a plan focused on helping pursue the goals and objectives of the business owner.
Retirement Plan Services
Key to our services is our assessment and analysis of the specific goals as outlined by the Plan Sponsor. Great care is put into the Plan design helping ensure goals are met, Owner's contributions are maximized, taxes minimized, and costs measured and balanced. Whether starting a new Plan or converting from an existing one, our focus remains the same.
Benchmarking / Fee Analysis
Benchmarking is a vital and necessary component in managing a Plan. Employing independent benchmarking services and tools, we generate reports allowing the Plan Sponsor to review expenses, comparing them against industry trends and other similar Plans, positioning the Sponsor on the path to meeting his/her fiduciary responsibilities.
