Group Retirement Plans
Qualified plans like 401(k)s are often the most effective employee retention and recruitment asset a business can have, especially in a tight labor market. And as more states mandate such plans to employers, we can help you craft one that suits your particular business and people.
We advise hundreds of small- to medium-sized companies in the Southwest and beyond with plan formation, employee education, trusteeship, and federal and state compliance. We’re also experts in setting up deferred executive compensation plans that can help you attract and keep top talent.
