Pensions, Cash Balance, and Deferred Compensation
While the standard 401(k)'s are the most common, our teams experience really shines with more complex plans that include some form of pension plan, or even a non-Erisa plan component such as deferred compensation.
These tools allow us to truly create something tailor made for each individual companies needs.

Our Three Goals for Your Plan
When we consult on or review an existing plan, we always look for three core things that we try to improve upon:
1. Plan Efficacy
Will the plan as written allow for your employees to retire on time and for the participants to participate fully in the plan?
2. Service Model
Is there a way that we can help tweak or change the service model to help the plan work better for the participants and employer?
3. Plan Design
Are there structural changes that need to be made, are the various companies working on the plan in need of replacement, and are the fees in line with industry standards?
We find we do our best work with clients where we can help improve the participation in the plan, increase the service level, lower fees, and attract or retain high level talent for by adjusting their plan.
