Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plans

Typically these plans will be set up for a limited or select group of individuals of an organization.  These plans are not subject to ERISA and can discriminate with whom the benefit will be offered.

Defined Benefit Plans

The industry certainly has shifted how employees save for retirement. Thirty years ago, is was quite common for individuals to have a pension to fall back on, one that would replace some percentage of their pre-retirement income.  These plans were part of the proverbial three-legged stool, social security, pension, and private savings. That time has come and gone, however there are still some Defined Benefit plans in existence. In addition, many companies that are looking for assistance in the management and maintenance of a frozen DB plan, as well as those who would like guidance in the termination of an existing plan, we can help!

SIMPLE IRA Plans

Smaller employers who wish to offer a retirement plan and do not want to be bogged down by the complexity of other type of retirement plans may look to a SIMPLE IRA to fill that void.  We can assist in this evaluation!

SEP Plans

Simplified Employer Pension Plans are very common with small and/or single employer whom are looking for a simple solution to possibly maximize their contributions for retirement.
