CONSULTING & ACTUARIAL

The strategy behind the plan

Anyone can administer a document. Cornerstone helps you decide what the plan should be, and gives you the actuarial firepower to defend every number in it.

Scenario modelling: same client, three designs

Safe harbor 401(k) only$24,500
+ cross-tested profit sharing$72,000
+ cash balance combo (age dependent)≈ $500,000

Bars are drawn to true scale. The combo design is roughly twenty times the safe-harbor-only figure.

Sharper ideas for your business-owner clients.

Which plan type fits a client’s income, age, and goals? When does adding a cash balance plan make sense? How should a design change as a business matures, or as an owner approaches exit? These are the conversations that separate an advisor from an order-taker. Cornerstone works through them with you: scenario modelling, side-by-side comparisons, and plain-English talking points you can take straight into the client meeting.

Actuaries on staff. Not contracted out.

Funding valuations & certifications

Defined benefit and cash balance plans legally require actuarial certification, and practically require actuarial judgement. Ours is in-house.

No outsourced bottleneck

No telephone game between your TPA and a third-party actuary. The team that built the plan certifies it.

Legal & compliance depth

A network of specialists behind the design, including ERISA counsel relationships, so genuinely novel situations get a pressure-tested answer.

Bring us the client situation you’re not sure about.

Thinking through a tricky case is the fastest way to see how we work. No charge for the conversation.
