Unlock Financial Advantages for Owners and Key Employees: The Power of Partnering with a Plan Advisor
By partnering with a plan advisor, you can streamline the management of your 401(k) plan, reduce stress, and focus on growing your business. A plan advisor provides specialized expertise, allowing you to offload complex tasks and ensure your employees enjoy a better retirement savings experience.
Everything outlined below is what any good plan advisor should do for you. But where we stand apart is our commitment to putting the business owner first. Unlike most advisors who focus heavily on employee benefits, we use a wealth management approach to dedicate significant time to identifying ways to maximize financial advantages for owners and key employees. The current system often favors employees unless you proactively work to shift the balance. Our goal is to help you navigate the rules and strategies that can tip the scales in favor of your business’s leadership, ensuring you get the most out of your 401(k) plan.
Here’s how a plan advisor can benefit you and your team:
Fiduciary Guidance: A plan advisor helps you navigate the complexities of fiduciary responsibilities, offering expert advice on selecting and monitoring investments while ensuring your plan complies with legal requirements. This guidance reduces your risk and provides peace of mind.
Investment Due Diligence: Conducting in-depth investment research can be overwhelming. A plan advisor simplifies this process, analyzing and recommending options that fit your plan’s goals and risk tolerance. Their expertise ensures a diversified investment lineup that benefits your employees.
Plan Design and Optimization: Your plan advisor works to optimize your 401(k) plan, aligning it with both your business objectives and employee needs. They help fine-tune features like contribution formulas and eligibility criteria to maximize participation and support retention.
Employee Education and Communication: A well-informed workforce is more likely to participate and succeed in your 401(k) plan. Your advisor will handle employee education by creating materials, hosting workshops, and offering personalized guidance, making it easier for your employees to make smart financial decisions.
Compliance Support: Staying compliant with ever-changing regulations is critical but can be time-consuming. Your advisor will manage compliance requirements such as disclosures, filings, and notices, helping you avoid penalties and keep your plan in good standing.
Benchmarking and Performance Monitoring: To ensure your plan remains competitive, your advisor regularly benchmarks its performance against industry standards. This process highlights opportunities for improvement and allows you to offer a 401(k) that truly benefits your employees.
Ongoing Plan Monitoring: Your plan advisor provides continuous monitoring and reporting, tracking key metrics like investment performance and employee engagement. This proactive approach allows you to stay informed while focusing on other priorities.
Partnering with a plan advisor provides you with the support and knowledge needed to manage your 401(k) plan effectively. By delegating complex tasks, you can reduce administrative burdens, improve outcomes, and offer a valuable retirement savings experience for your employees while focusing on maximizing benefits for you and your key team members.
