For the Long-Term Success of Your Defined Benefit Plan
Employers who offer defined benefit plans, such as pensions, typically enjoy better employee retention and loyalty. But if those plans aren't implemented correctly, they can be very costly to the employers.
For an expert analysis of your company's defined benefit plan that comes backed by over 60 years of combined experience, turn to Tax Solutions Consultants. Our team of professionals will make sure your plan is set up to work in your favor for years to come.
Identifying Ways to Reduce Your Tax Liability
Many employers find that they are limited in what they can contribute to their defined benefit plans. These limitations can hurt an employer's ability to adequately fund their retirement plans and increase the amount of taxes they owe.
But with Tax Solutions Consultants on your side, you may be able to take advantage of new tax law changes that you may not have known were available. You can rely on us to thoroughly analyze your defined benefit plan and then identify ways to reduce your tax liability while increasing the retirement contributions you can make.
Why Benchmark Your Company 401(k) Plan?
Welcome to Uncovering the Truth: Benchmarking Your Company's 401(k) Plan.
Benchmarking is simply the process of organizing, reviewing, and then evaluating to learn if your plan is competitive and provides an objective look at your 401(k) as a whole. See how your company 401(k) compares with other companies' 401(k) plans by using retirement plan benchmarking. The Benchmarking report will help you discover why making the right decisions for your company's 401(k) plan shouldn't be guesswork.
For people responsible for managing their company's 401(k) plan, those individuals who sign the 5500 form for ERISA, benchmarking is more relevant than ever between avoiding lawsuits, hiring and retaining employees, and contending with budgetary and investment pressures. Unfortunately, many 401(k) sponsors are unaware of how vital this information is to prove they have met the Fiduciary obligations. These reports are proof that you have met these standards. To receive further information regarding Benchmarking your Companies 401(k), please fill in the request form or give us a call at (248) 566 3362 & (248) 509 2218
A little bit about us, we provide ongoing educational services and customized support for 401(k) plan managers and offer comprehensive plan services that are designed to help employees optimize their retirement savings while easing the company's risk and administrative burden.
