When an employer-sponsored plan is easily understandable and accessible, it becomes a powerful tool for building and retaining a great team.

What is a 401(k) audit? And when do you need one? 

Simply put, a 401(k) audit ensures your plan is healthy and compliant. We can help you evaluate your plan at any time, but the Department of Labor requires an audit once you reach 100 participants with account balances. And 100 includes both current employees and prior employees.

Our expertise

Sometimes knowledge is everything 

Auditing is definitely one of those times. There is no such thing as a cookie-cutter audit. It takes specialized training and experience to be able to drill down into the nuts and bolts of how a plan is structured and functioning. That’s why we stick to 401(k) plans. It gives us the focus we need to keep our skills sharp.

Our process

With great expertise comes great efficiency 

Audits aren’t fun. While we love what we do, we know that our work is a necessary disruption to your business. We take pride in our ability to work behind the scenes. In fact, you can grant our team access to your plan provider, and we can run the reports we need for you. This only comes with experience. If we had a motto, it would be: get in, get what we need, get to work!
