Retirement Planning Services
Defined contribution plans, such as the 401(k) and 403(b) options, face regulatory compliance challenges in many cases. Failing to be compliant can result in serious penalties, and a pension plan has its own set of rules to follow. Our approach helps you meet audit requirements with ease and efficiency.
Defined Benefit Plan Services
Defined benefit plans commonly let older participants generate sizable retirement assets in a short time frame. These work well for small business owners or sole proprietors who need bigger deductions past the limitations of profit-sharing plans. Cross-tested plans let employers decide the contribution levels for particular groups of employees, such as single- and multi-employer benefit plans.

Employee Benefit Plans FAQs
How much does a 401(k) audit cost?
The costs of a 401(k) audit can vary based on the scope of the audit and the size of your business. Contact us for a quote because we can adapt our services to meet the needs and budgets of most businesses. Having said that, an average audit for a medium-sized business with less than $50 million in assets is usually around $10,000.
Who needs an employee benefit plan audit?
If your plan has 100 or more participants on the first day, then you're required by law to have a plan audit. Annual audits are required after that on a recurring basis. Remember, though, that audits benefit your business with actionable insights and information as much as they satisfy legal and regulatory requirements.
