Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Cash Balance Plan cost to set up in Rochester?
Kongruent's Direct-to-Owner plan design for Rochester business owners starts at $2,500/year, which typically includes custom Cash Balance Plan design, 401(k) combo optimization, annual actuarial valuation, AFTAP certification, and Form 5500 / Schedule SB preparation. Setup costs are often rolled into the first year's administration fee. Complex multi-owner or multi-practice cases in Rochester receive a custom quote based on complexity.

How long does it take to implement a new pension plan?
Most Cash Balance Plans for Rochester firms can be designed and ready for implementation within a few weeks once financial and census data is provided, though the exact timeline depends on plan complexity and coordination with your advisors. Plans are generally best adopted before your business's fiscal year-end to maximize the current year's tax deduction.
What is the tax advantage of a Cash Balance Plan?
Cash Balance Plans allow significantly higher tax-deductible contributions than a 401(k) alone — often $100,000 to $300,000+ annually depending on age and income — which can meaningfully lower your current-year taxable income while accelerating retirement savings for your Rochester practice.
