Service Overview

Since 1974, APC has offered consulting and administration services to clients who know the importance of a well-designed retirement plan.

Not only is a retirement plan one of the best tax shelters available, it is an excellent way to attract and retain good employees— but administering a retirement plan is complex and daunting.

Due to this complexity, many employers are reluctant to take advantage of the many benefits of providing a retirement plan for their businesses. Don’t leave opportunity on the table!

We know that personal service is the key to your peace of mind. Our goal is to exceed your expectations, by always being available to answer questions, meet with your team, and review annual reports to make sure you are seeing the value of a retirement investment in your business.

Security & Expertise

Your retirement plan is not part of a “bigger picture,” it is the big picture.

Proper administration of a retirement plan is a serious and complex matter, and therefore we do not handle investments, insurance, or banking. We prefer to do one thing, and do it well.

Our expert staff ensures that your plan keeps pace with revisions in the law, the evolution of your workforce, and your own personal retirement planning needs.

The Cost Effective Choice

Like any professional accountant or investment advisor, we save you money by knowing our business inside and out.

The initial qualified plan design can be the most critical element to the overall success of your retirement plan. Our ability to customize a plan for your organization, including our fees, sets us apart from the competition. 

This flexibility allows us to accommodate a range of clientele, from sole proprietors to larger corporations. We will maximize your plan benefits by offering cost-effective technology and service to support and protect your retirement plan.
