Retirement Plan Analysis for Business Owners

Make your retirement plan work for you and your business

For business owners, a retirement plan can be more than a way to save for the future. The right strategy can help support your personal retirement goals, provide valuable tax advantages and strengthen the benefits you offer employees.

But with different plan types, contribution limits, tax considerations and administrative requirements, determining which retirement strategy makes sense for your business isn’t always straightforward.

Albert J. Bartlinski & Associates provides retirement plan analysis for business owners, helping you evaluate your options from a tax and financial perspective and understand how retirement planning fits into the bigger picture of your business.

Is your retirement plan still the right fit?

Your business changes over time, and your retirement strategy should be reviewed along with it.

Changes in profitability, number of employees, compensation, cash flow or your personal financial goals can all affect which retirement plan options make the most sense.

You may benefit from a retirement plan analysis if you’re:

Establishing a retirement plan for the first time
Growing your business or adding employees
Looking for opportunities to increase retirement contributions
Evaluating potential tax-saving strategies
Considering a different type of retirement plan
Reviewing whether your current plan still supports your goals
Planning for retirement or a future transition from the business

The goal is to make sure your retirement strategy continues to align with both your personal financial goals and the needs of your business.

Retirement plan analysis and tax planning for business owners

There is no single retirement plan that’s right for every business.

Albert J. Bartlinski & Associates can help you evaluate the tax and financial considerations associated with retirement plan options such as:

SEP IRAs
SIMPLE IRAs
401(k) plans
Solo 401(k) plans
Profit-sharing plans
Other employer-sponsored retirement strategies

We look at factors such as business profitability, owner compensation, number of employees, cash flow, potential contribution levels and tax impact to help you understand how different retirement plan options may affect your overall financial picture.

When specialized plan design, investment advice or administration is needed, we can work alongside your financial advisor, benefits provider or third-party administrator to help keep your retirement, business and tax strategies aligned.

Look beyond the contribution limit

Choosing a retirement plan isn’t simply about determining how much you can contribute. For a business owner, retirement planning can affect several areas of your financial life.

Tax planning
Retirement contributions may provide opportunities to reduce taxable income while helping you build savings for the future. We can help you evaluate potential contributions in the context of your broader business tax strategy.

Owner retirement goals
Your business may be one of your largest financial assets, but it doesn’t necessarily need to be your only retirement strategy. Building retirement savings outside the business can be an important part of long-term financial planning.

Employee benefits
A competitive retirement plan can help support employee recruitment and retention while also providing an opportunity for you to invest in your own retirement.

Business cash flow
Contribution requirements, timing and plan costs should be considered alongside the ongoing cash needs of your business.

Long-term business planning
As you approach retirement or begin thinking about a future transition from your business, your retirement strategy becomes an increasingly important part of the bigger financial picture.

Connect retirement planning with your business tax strategy

Retirement planning and tax planning shouldn’t happen independently.

For business owners in particular, decisions about owner compensation, business profitability, retirement contributions, cash flow and taxes are closely connected.

Albert J. Bartlinski & Associates brings these pieces together to help you evaluate retirement strategies within the context of your overall tax and business plan.

Our role isn’t to sell you a retirement product. It’s to help you understand the tax and financial implications of your options so you can make a more informed decision for yourself and your business.
