Retirement Plans

Our roadmap, to manage our client's retirement plans successfully, is to take a process-oriented approach by first seeking to understand our clients. This is the foundation and key to designing a customized plan to meet their overall needs and goals. We at Financial Design Agency of Ohio review current retirement benefits, deferral percentages, average account balances and employee participation, identify cost drivers, and implement a strategic plan. Using our talented staff, we are able to effectively maintain and manage client accounts from year to year.
