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.

During our long relationship with TPS Group, we have never failed to be impressed with their level of expertise and outstanding customer service. They keep their promises and it’s easy to work with them. Having our own rep Lauren McNabb is a plus!
