Better Retirement Plan Outcomes
Koenig Financial Group’s corporate offering helps business owners and company administrators develop and manage custom retirement plans.
Success with your company’s retirement plan requires not just implementing the right retirement plan but, as importantly, integrating the plan into your company’s systems. The successful rollout of a new or replacement retirement plan must consider how the owner and employee will access plan details and how payroll processes and accounting systems will be integrated.
Led by Todd McCaffray, CFP®, our corporate plan services are backed by years of focused expertise in the area of corporate retirement plans.

Amazing Partnerships
Of all the financial tools, the corporate retirement plan is probably the most complex and requires the greatest number of partnerships to be successful. When one considers payroll processors (QuickBooks, ADP, Rippling, Paychex, etc.) to accounting systems (QuickBooks, Sage, NetSuite, Xero, etc.) to recordkeepers (Fidelity, Vanguard, Vestwell, etc.) to Third Party Administrators (TPAs), it clearly takes a village. Choosing an independent and experienced partner who can guide you through the many considerations for a successful retirement plan rollout is the first, and likely the most important step.
Ask us about our most recent partnership- RIPPLING
Here’s an example of the complexities of a retirement plan rollout and how Rippling played a key role in simplifying across the functional areas of IT, HR and Finance. In a recent implementation completed by the experts at Rippling & the Koenig Financial Group, we helped the accountant using QuickBooks change their labor intense process for timekeeping and payroll to a highly automated payroll and timekeeping process through Rippling’s Employee Relationship Management System. Further the Koenig Financial Group integrated Medical and Dental benefits from two national carriers, a 401(k) plan using a nationally known Record Keeper and a local independent Third Party Administrator for customized Profit Sharing and Cash Balance plan benefits. Finally, the IT team (both the outsourced IT experts and the internal IT resource) deployed Rippling for streamlined device management, improving the process to set-up, deploy, update and replace the employee’s computers.
The Koenig Financial Group brings expertise both with Rippling and with the following employee benefits.
- Retirement plans including 401(k), 403(b), Combo and other Defined Benefit plans
- Group Healthcare & Dental Insurance
- Group Disability & Term Life Insurance
- Health Savings Accounts and other “Cafeteria Benefits”
