Do You Have A Retirement Plan We Can Help With?

Excelling In Retirement Plan Design, Administration and Customer Service

Retirement Plan Administrators, Inc. (RPA) is an independent third party retirement plan administration company in Atlanta, GA.  RPA has been administering retirement plans since 1985 across 24 states.

We have no affiliations with other companies, do not sell or promote a specific product, nor manage money.

We constantly monitor Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Department of Labor (DOL) Regulations to determine their options for and effect on existing and newly created retirement plans.

RPA can allow you to invest in multiple investment vehicles.  The investment alternatives are available on either a plan level or a participant investment directed level.

Today, as a privately held and independent third party plan administrator, record-keeper and platform provider, we are committed to offering:

  • “True” Open Investment Architecture with no proprietary fund requirements
  • Full Fee Transparency – we disclose and re-capture all available revenue sharing that Plan assets generate into an “ERISA budget account” that is used at the discretion of the Plan Sponsor, typically to offset plan related expenses
  • A remarkable “White Glove” Service model combining experienced professionals with leading edge technology
  • Access to other preferred provider platforms with which we have the experience, and can recommend to a plan due to their ability to deliver superior plan sponsor services as well as effectively interface with us

The RPA Difference

With an intentionally different mindset, Retirement Plan Administrators invoked an integrated approach in which consulting, service and sales are equal players in providing clients outstanding advice and support.   Gone are the days in which a single person holds the client relationship.   Instead, each RPA client is assigned a dedicated and experienced retirement benefits consulting team, with a single-source of contact to answer your questions and provide the information you need. This team works collaboratively to bring you the best benefit plan options.  Additionally, they support you and your employees throughout the year with on-going education, retirement and saving initiatives, and answers to your benefits issues.  Along the way, your team will proactively provide helpful information on emerging trends, legislative changes and clarification on the latest regulations governing retirement plans.

 

Top reasons to partner with RPA for your retirement Plan

  • We never lose sight of our primary goal – client satisfaction and building trusted relationships
  • We are intentionally different, meaning never being afraid to make quality commitments
  • Our commitment to our clients with personalized service in a timely, professional manner
  • Never compromising our business integrity and always doing the right thing by our customers
