A 457 Plan - A non-qualified, deferred compensation plan established by state and local governments and tax-exempt employers under IRC Section 501. They can be either eligible plans under IRC 457(b) or ineligible plans under IRC 457(f).
A Prevailing Wage Plan - An IRS Approved Retirement Program designed specifically for contractors who work on Davis-Bacon, State Prevailing Wage Jobs or Service Contracts. Find out more about our Public Works Plan.
A Money Purchase Plan - A retirement plan in which employers make contributions based on a percentage of annual earnings, in accordance with the terms of the plan.
A Target Benefit Plan - A target benefit plan is a type of pension plan that contains features of a defined contribution plan but is made to appear like a defined benefit plan. It is similar to a defined benefit plan in that the annual contribution is determined by a formula to calculate the amount needed each year to accumulate (at an assumed interest rate) a fund sufficient to pay a projected retirement benefit, the target benefit, to each participant upon reaching retirement. It is similar to a defined contribution plan in that the plan does not guarantee any benefit will be paid.

Reviews
We look forward to working with TPS Group next year
As another year ends, I want to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to you and TPS Group for assigning us Krista Blier. Krista provides exceptional customer service and has been a major asset to me and Lynch, Traub, Keefe & Errante, P.C. She is extremely knowledgeable and always accessible. Always on top of the RMD’s, giving me an explanation on form 5500-SF to present to Mr. Keefe & keeping us updated with any account changes as well as specifics. It is a relief knowing I have full faith in Krista and can turn a blind eye to our account. I cannot tell you how many vendors/brokers I have to stay on top of and babysit to make sure our deadlines are met and to perform their job duties. Krista is a pleasure to work with and we look forward to working with her and TPS Group next year.
