Because our goal is to exceed our clients’ expectations, we invest in education and industry certification for our employees. As a result, our reputation for service and accuracy are exemplary.

Our leadership team provides senior level plan consulting services to SI GROUP clients. We work with employers and industry partners to design and implement retirement plans tailored to each client’s goals and needs. Because of SI GROUP’s reputation for dealing with complex issues, we are often approached by attorneys to assist the attorneys’ clients with plan corrections in accordance with the Department of Labor’s Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program and the Internal Revenue Service’s Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System.
