Qualified Retirement Plans
Getting The Most Out Of Your Plan
Compare and contrast your plan to optimize its potential. The following are common concerns that we can help address when it comes to designing your plan.
- Enrollment lagging? We can demonstrate how automatic enrollment might improve participation.
- Need to improve contribution rates? A matching contribution, however modest, can provide the incentive your employees need to join the plan. We can help you find the ideal formula for your budget.
- Want to save more for your retirement each year? Our first priority is to design the plan to get your elective deferrals up to the maximum, then layer on a possible match and a profit sharing contribution. We will design the optimal solution around your company’s demographics and your goals.
- Still not enough to meet your retirement goals? We can discuss layering on a second plan. Whether you are a large or small business or even a non-profit, there are options that may be worth considering.
- Turnover problems? A vesting schedule on employer contribution accounts can provide an incentive for your employees to stay with you.
- Recruitment challenges? Allowing entry into the plan for new hires after a short waiting period is a hot button for candidates. Any employer contributions are an added benefit to the compensation package you can offer.

- Late 5500 filings

We do this by getting to know you and your company’s demographics, when you want your employees to become eligible for the plan, distribution options including whether or not to add loans or hardship withdrawals, and options for employer contributions – minimums and maximums, matching contributions or profit sharing, vested over time or not. The bottom line is, we focus on you. What do you want out of the plan for yourself, your family, your key employees, and your staff.

Why A Retirement Plan Makes Sense
Providing your employees with an opportunity to save for their future is an under-rated responsibility of a business owner. By offering a retirement plan to your employees, you are bringing to them the opportunity for financial success. Strong candidates for key roles in your company expect the opportunity to participate in a retirement plan. You want your employees to be able to retire comfortably so you can allow the next generation to move into responsible roles.
As a business owner, your retirement account is important too. It provides you with some diversification and ERISA protection of your investments outside of your business. In funding your retirement account, you are able to pull money out of your business on a tax-favored basis while you are in control of the company. Building successful outcomes for both you and your employees with a retirement plan is another example of a win-win.
