ABP's goal is to fully understand every plan sponsors goals and design a plan that can accomplish those objectives. Creative plan design can make the best use of retirement plans to achieve a successful tax-deferral tool for owners and employee benefit plan for plan participants. ABP's focus on up-front fact-finding and plan design materially benefits our clients and their participants.

Plan administration includes the day-to-day issues and annual requirements for your plan, including but not limited to:

• Eligibility determination and enrollment

• Contribution processing

• Compliance testing

• Form 5500 preparation and filing

• Preparation of fee disclosure for plan sponsors and participants

• Participant loan and distribution processing

The employer/plan sponsor must be engaged to some extent in all of these processes, but ABP's dedication to customer service and client hand-holding minimizes the employer's internal work demands while minimizing the risk of compliance failures.

Plan Consulting

Unlike many competitors, ABP's consulting does not end with up-front plan design. Our experienced client support personnel take ownership of clients and engage in continuous consulting as part of the annual service process. In addition to plan design, consulting support often includes discussions about best practices for contribution, participant loan, and benefit distribution processing, support in responding to questions from participants, and ways to create the most effective contribution scenario each plan year.
