Challenge
The Challenges Holding RLPS Back
When we first met RLPS Architects, they were struggling to manage their own 401(k). Their plan was limited, the service was lacking, and managing it themselves was overwhelming. Without the support of a full-service financial advisor, they were missing out on key benefits:
– Investment Guidance – RLPS was missing an expert’s voice to help them choose the funds tailored to their specific goals.
– Fee & Service Comparisons – They were leaving money on the table, lacking a financial professional’s guidance on how to keep more money in the plan.
– Employee Education – Their employees were left to their own devices, with no support in helping them make financial decisions.
They needed a partner to help them find a solution that worked for their business, not anyone else’s; they were frustrated with their lack of service, flexibility, and personalized guidance. So, they turned to Sensenig for help.
Solution
How We Helped RLPS Achieve More
When we saw an opportunity to help, we reached out. Our team offered RLPS a free Benchmarking Audit to compare their current 401(k) plan against other options, and the rest is history.
The process was simple: We met with the firm to understand their frustrations, gathered key data, and delivered a clear report showing potential ways to increase value to the plan. Using our deep experience in the architectural & construction industry, we developed a custom solution that gave RLPS the level of service and outcomes they knew they deserved—complete with a selection of plan investment options tailored to their specific needs.
And, when it came time to transition, Sensenig handled the move with clear communication and hands-on support, allowing RLPS to get its updated plan implemented in just a matter of weeks.
