Retirement Plans

Tax favored retirement planning for owners of small to mid-sized businesses represents one of the most important avenues available for tax savings and wealth accumulation. Too often, clients accept pre-packaged plans distributed largely by advisors or institutions ill-equipped to handle the new regulatory and compliance environment. Creative design, flexibility, tax benefits, and compliance with legal requirements tend to be under-emphasized. At TrueWealth Advisors, LLC, we reverse this emphasis.

Our mission is to assist our clients in reaching practical and effective decisions which helps maximize their return on retirement plan expenditures, fully utilize the tax benefits available under prevailing law and regulations, and achieve all other expected financial and human resources objectives.

Spectrum of Plan Types

One of the most important decisions affecting tax efficiency and cost containment is selection of the appropriate plan type with proper plan design features. We provide clients a complete education on which to base an informed decision when selecting the appropriate plan type:

• Defined Benefit Pension (Traditional and Cash Balance)
• Profit Sharing (Traditional, Age-Weighted, and Cross Tested)
• 401(k) Savings Plans

Scope of Services

To help master the maze of tax law and regulations, we maintain a complete library of current reference works and participate in various credentialed associations to remain skilled in this highly specialized field.

In the final analysis, client satisfaction is the ultimate measure of success, and client satisfaction is earned through commitment, vision, experience, and the overall quality of the delivered service.

For clients who seek standards above the ordinary, the TrueWealth Advisors creates tangible benefit plans capable of surviving the challenges of an ever-changing tax and economic landscape. Clients or advisors are invited to meet with us at no obligation. Once goals, objectives, and the scope of desired services are determined, both a scheduled timetable and service fees are established prior to a final engagement.
