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 plan 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 strategy makes sense isn't always straightforward.

Summersgill CPA helps business owners evaluate retirement plan options from a tax and financial perspective so they can make informed decisions for themselves and their businesses.

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 or personal financial goals can 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 and business priorities.

Retirement Plan Analysis for Business Owners

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

Summersgill CPA 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, potential contribution levels and tax impact to help you understand how different options may affect your overall financial picture.

When specialized plan design or administration is required, we can work alongside your financial advisor, benefits provider or third-party administrator.

Look Beyond the Contribution Limit

Choosing a retirement plan isn't simply about determining how much you can contribute.

The right strategy can affect several areas of your financial life:

Tax Planning

Retirement contributions may create opportunities to reduce taxable income while helping you save for the future.

Owner Retirement Goals

Your business may be one of your largest financial assets, but it shouldn't necessarily be your only retirement strategy.

Employee Benefits

A competitive retirement plan can help support employee recruitment and retention while allowing you to invest in your own retirement.

Cash Flow

Contribution requirements and timing should be considered alongside the cash needs of your business.

Long-Term Planning

As you approach retirement or a potential business transition, your retirement strategy becomes an important part of the bigger financial picture.

Connect Retirement Planning with Your Tax Strategy

Retirement planning and tax planning shouldn't happen independently.

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

Summersgill CPA 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 financial and tax implications of your options so you can make a more informed decision.
