About Us

What We Do For You

Whether you are a company looking to enhance the retirement program for your employees or an individual preparing for retirement, our mission is simple, helping you create the best retirement plan possible. As an independent firm we operate exclusively on your behalf, offering advice based on your best interests, and are under no obligation to recommend specific products. This allows us to be free from the constraints present at many major wire house firms due to product quotas and directives.

What We Do
Corporate Retirement Plan Clients

We understand that operating a retirement plan for your employees comes with a variety of challenges. Many employers are overwhelmed by what they either know, or don’t know, leaving them with questions and concerns.

  • Is our plan still competitive in the marketplace and priced correctly?
  • Are the investment options selected and monitored correctly?
  • Are we following the processes and procedures in our plan document?
  • How much is our vendor/advisor being paid and what are they doing for us?
  • Are we personally liable for any unintended mismanagement of the plan?
  • Do our employees have access to help with their retirement planning needs?


Unsure of the answers? 

It might be time to take another look at your plan. 

Small employers, generally those under 250 employees and plan assets under $12 million, often have plans that are overpriced and underserviced.  Although sometimes necessary, you do not need to change vendors to improve this.


HOW WE HELP
