What does the plan review cost?
Nothing, and it ends with a straight answer, which is either a number or a “this doesn't work for you.” Bring your CPA; we prefer it.
Do we have to move the plan's investments?
No. We never hold or touch plan assets; custodians and recordkeepers do. We do the design, the testing, and the filings.
What do you charge?
Flat fees by product: $2,500–3,500/yr for 401(k) work, $7,500–9,500/yr for cash balance, the actuary's certification included. No asset charges. No revenue sharing. A design study, when the numbers warrant one, is a $2,000 flat fee.
We're not sure our plan is broken.
Send us nothing but your plan name. We'll read the public filing and tell you what it says, including if it says you're fine.
We already have a 401(k) provider.
Keep them for the call. We read your plan's public filing and tell you what it says. If a redesign makes sense, we take over the design and administration; whether your recordkeeper stays depends on how the current plan is bundled, and we'll tell you that on the call too.
