Administration and Innovation
Raymond, Reeves & Stout, LLP will carefully and thoughtfully design,
implement and administer all types of qualified and non-qualified
retirement plans as follows:
- Profit Sharing. The most flexible form of tax
qualified employer funded retirement plan, which allows a variable
contribution from year to year of up to 25% of participant compensation.
- Age-weighted Allocation. This plan type combines
features of both defined benefit and profit sharing plans, providing
larger contributions to those closest to retirement, while maintaining
year to year contribution flexibility.
- Cross-tested Allocation. The latest innovation
in fixed or discretionary formulas which can provide a different
level of contribution to various classes of participants. If appropriate
to your workforce, it optimizes benefits to key personnel.
- SEP's and SIMPLE Plans. Hybrids of profit sharing
and IRA or 401(k) plans with unique participation and limited contribution
features.
- 403(b) Plans. Tax deferred retirement programs
available to Section 501(c)(3) exempt organizations and public schools.
- 401(k) Plans. Extremely popular form of profit
sharing plan, which allows pre-tax employee contributions with or
without an employer discretionary match.
- Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan. A special type of 401(k)
plan which allows key personnel to make maximum allowable salary
deferrals without 401(k) discrimination testing.
- Defined Benefit and 412(e)(3) Defined Benefit. An annual retirement benefit
is funded by reference to such actuarial variables as compensation,
age, interest rates and mortality tables. Contributions are mandatory
at the level that meets the actuarial funding requirement.
- Cash Balance. A defined benefit plan that provides mandatory contributions at different levels to various classes of participants. Depending on employee demographics, it optimizes benefits to key personnel at much higher deduction limits than in a Cross-tested Allocation plan.
- Target Benefit. Provides a mandatory level contribution
based on a pre-defined retirement income. The retirement income,
however, is not guaranteed, in contrast to a defined benefit plan.
- ESOP's. Allows for a contribution or purchase
of employer stock. This plan can provide a ready source of capital
within the business itself for expansion or redemption.
