Retirement Plan Design & Administration Services

Offering attractive benefits and retirement plans is crucial to recruiting and retaining a loyal and effective workforce.  An attractive benefits and retirement plan can have the added benefit of reducing an employer’s tax burden significantly. Analyzing the choices, and the legal, tax and reporting implications of each, can be daunting. At Dermody, Burke & Brown (DB&B), we specialize in helping our clients determine their needs, compare their options, and build custom benefits packages and retirement plans to meet their unique objectives.
