Retirement Plan Specialist
As a Retirement Plan Specialist, Leonard works with business owners to ensure that their company's retirement plan matches the firm's unique corporate culture. Our team finds that retirement plans are more successful when payments to the program are structured in the company's best interest and the plan design is consistent with the firm's values. More importantly, our goal is to enhance outcomes by increasing plan participation rates and focusing on on-track for retirement metrics.
