Year-End Client Changes? Bring in a Third-Party Administrator Early!
For wealth advisors, year-end conversations with business-owner clients can uncover changes that may affect retirement plan administration and can cause unexpected issues and unnecessary expenses.
A change in ownership, a new entity, workforce growth, revised compensation practices or plans for the coming year raises questions about retirement plan design, documentation, or administration. This is why early retirement plan coordination really matters.
Bringing our experienced retirement plan consultants at Benefit Equity, a Strongpoint Partner, into the conversation early-on gives advisors and their employer-clients access to retirement plan design, compliance, and administrative expertise before decisions become major operational issues.
Wealth advisors are able to remain focused on their client relationships and increasing wealth, while BEI’s consultants add value by managing retirement plan requirements and administrative details.
The best partnerships are built on clearly defined responsibilities—and timely communication among employers, wealth advisors, and retirement plan administrators.
