Simplified Employee Pension Plan (SEP)

Are you looking to set up a plan for your employees? You’ll want to look into our Simplified Employee Pension Plan (SEP).

An SEP allows employees to save for retirement with an easy-to-follow plan that you set up and contribute to on their behalf.

It follows many of the same rules as a traditional IRA, with the added benefit of employer contributions. Plus, employees may be eligible to have you, as their employer, contribute up to 25% of their salary to the plan. 
Offering a SEP can help you recruit and retain valuable employees. Let’s talk about your options today.

Our Learning Center has articles, tools and resources to help you manage your business.

Traditional IRAs

Helping your employees get ready for retirement is easy. Let’s talk about the Traditional IRA.

This Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is tax deferred, so your employees don’t pay taxes until it’s time to withdraw their funds. This allows their nest egg to grow more quickly. 
 
We offer a wide range of investment options, including traditional Savings Accounts and CDs. Contact us to discuss which is best for your organization.

Roth IRAs

By offering your employees access to a Roth IRA, you’re helping them plan for tomorrow.

With our Roth IRAs, your employees’ retirement savings grow with money that’s already been taxed. When it’s time for retirement, their funds are completely theirs.

Roth IRAs offer a range of investment options, including traditional savings accounts and CDs. Your employees can start saving today and enjoy all of their cash at retirement. Contact us to discuss which is best for your organization.
