What I Do Best, 401k Quarterback
RETIREMENT PLANS
For Businesses

Would you like to know which type of retirement plan best fits your company, employees, budget, and outlook? I’ve audited large 401K plans & pension plans for 20+ years and helped those plans stay compliant with ERISA. Those same rules apply to small plans as well. Thus, I can implement a plan from the point of view of an auditor and retirement plan advisor. I was an employee once too. I recall looking at my 401K statement thinking there has to be a better way; well there is. Don’t let your employees fall into guessing what’s best when a clear alternative is available. I provide meaningful investment “education” that your employees can understand and implement, the “401k Quarterback” way. If they are still reluctant I can trade their account for them.
TYPES OF RETIREMENT PLANS
401K PLANS
401Ks are the go-to retirement plan that offers employees a way to self-fund their retirement. Employer contributions are optional.
PEP-POOLED EMPLOYER PLANS
New in 2021, like a 401K but limit owner liability and responsibility. Employees self-fund their retirement and employer contributions optional. No audit for large plans.
SOLO-K PLANS
As the name suggests is best for the sole owner that wants to put away more for retirement than an IRA allows, it can even include a spouse.
403B PLANS
They act much like a 401K plan for non-profits, schools, government & religious type organizations.
PROFIT SHARING PLANS
This allows an employer to make deductible retirement contributions for all employees. It’s best if added as an additional component to a 401K plan.
SEP
Simplified Employee Pension only allows for employer contributions. This plan does not allow for additional plans.
CASH BALANCE PLAN
A pension-like plan will provide a larger deduction. Contributions for employees’ retirement are calculated yearly.
PENSION PLAN
This plan will cost the most. However, it offers a significant deduction based on employees’ years of creditable service calculated by an actuary. Best for companies with large profits & cash flow.
SIMPLE -IRA -401K
Allows for both employer and employee contributions. Limitations apply.
HSA
Health Savings Account – This is not technically a retirement plan, but it acts like one for current & future medical expenses.
ROTH
These can be included in 401K plans or for the individual, limitations apply.
IRA
These are not true “plans” but are a way for individuals to save for retirement with limitations.
