HowardSimon has worked with employers nationwide to provide retirement plans that find the right balance between being a true employee benefit versus a retirement vehicle exclusively for owners and executives. After gaining a thorough understanding of your objectives, our retirement plan specialists devise plans with maximum tax benefits and minimum tax burdens for employers.
We earned our leadership status in retirement plan administration by providing customized retirement plans supported by attentive customer service. People like working with us. Our team approach helps us to deliver continuous support to clients. Many of our administrators have been with the firm for over 20 years. Because of the long tenure of our staff, our team develops a bond with our clients and a deep understanding of their retirement needs.
