Why Offer a 401K?
Your employees’ financial futures are at risk if they are not saving for retirement, and 401k plans are one of the most effective ways to help them save.
Attract Top Talent
Statistics show that 401k plans have become the primary source of retirement savings for U.S. workers and help companies compete for top talent.
Reduce Turnover
A 401k plan is a critical part of an employer’s overall benefits program and minimizes the chance that employees seek jobs with better benefits.
Help Owners and Employees Save
401k plans allow owners and employees to elect pre-tax or Roth salary deferrals, and create a disciplined, tax-favored approach to savings.
Reduce Income Taxes
401k plans reduce income taxes for employees and the company. Employer contributions are tax deductible and employees elect pre-tax or Roth tax treatment – each providing special tax benefits.
Unlike most providers, we take the lead and do most of the work for you. Our 3(16) fiduciary services include comprehensive plan management to reduce your workload and minimize complexity.
