Group Retirement 101

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.

FAQs

Q

Can Employees Choose Investments?

In most 401(k) and SIMPLE IRA plans, yes. Employees select from the investment menu the plan offers. Your plan's investment professional selects the investment menu. ABC explains the insurance and annuity options it offers.

Q

Do We Need A Third-Party Admin?

For 401(k) plans, usually yes�TPAs handle compliance testing, plan documents, and annual filings. For SIMPLE and SEP IRAs, administration is lighter and may not require a TPA. We help you understand what level of support your plan needs.

Q

Does Your Team Cost Anything Extra?

No additional fee for our employer guidance under our standard engagement. Recordkeeper fees, fund expenses, and plan administration costs are separate from advisory services.

Q

How Do Contributions Affect Taxes?

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.

Q

How Do We Drive Participation?

Plan design matters: auto-enrollment, auto-escalation, and clear communication dramatically improve participation. We help you design for engagement, not just compliance.

Q

What Are Compliance Requirements?

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.

Q

What Is A Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan?

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.
