A group retirement plan works best when the structure fits the company and the employees using it. We check workforce size, budget, match strategy, plan type, recordkeeper fit, compliance needs, and rollout timing.
Then we compare what affects real value: employer cost, employee participation, vesting, investment menu quality, fees, payroll setup, and how the plan supports retention as the company grows over time.
The right choice usually comes from a short list of strong options, not the cheapest fee line. We help you compare total value, avoid weak fund menus, and choose with confidence before anything is launched.
From first employer conversation to plan launch, we compare, verify, and support you.

No additional fee for our employer guidance under our standard engagement. Recordkeeper fees, fund expenses, and plan administration costs are separate from advisory services.
Employer contributions are generally tax-deductible as a business expense. Rules vary by plan type, contribution structure, and company situation. We help you understand the framework and can coordinate with your tax advisor for specifics.
Plan design matters: auto-enrollment, auto-escalation, and clear communication dramatically improve participation. We help you design for engagement, not just compliance.
Requirements vary by plan type. 401(k) plans need annual testing (or safe harbor), Form 5500 filing, and plan document maintenance. SIMPLE and SEP plans have lighter requirements. We map the compliance calendar before you launch so nothing is a surprise.
A safe harbor plan design satisfies certain nondiscrimination tests automatically, in exchange for mandatory employer contributions. It simplifies compliance and is popular with companies where owner/HCE participation would otherwise fail testing. We model the cost so you can decide if it fits.
