As the employer, your contributions to a 401k plan will translate into tax deductions as they will be considered part of a business expense. When you allow MKS&H to track your finances, their staff might even be able to see more safe and legal ways to improve retirement planning including 401k plan audits.
Your employees will be delighted
Anyone finds saving for the future a complicated affair. Just how much to set aside? How much does one need for one’s dotage? These questions are not easy to answer. But with a 401k plan set up by an employer, the employee won’t have any troubles with them. All he or she must do is match the contribution of the employer. Then with the help of MKS&H, he or she knows that the contributions will be invested safely.
You have the power to decide whom to enroll
As the employer, you can choose who among your employees be part of the 401k plan program in your organization. Before setting up your 401k plan, you determine the requirements for eligibility as well as the exclusions. To make this error-proof, you may consult with MKS&H as both of you go over the names in the payroll.
Your employees will enjoy the tax deferrals
Employee contributions to a 401k plan are tax-deferred. They will only be taxed after withdrawal or upon retirement. That means the employer will be thanking you for assuring his or her economic future because of erasing a hurdle to make it happen. Payroll assistance from MKS&H is hawk-eyed about this matter.
You’re giving free money
But that is an occasion for pride and not worry. As earlier mentioned, the employer’s contribution means fewer taxes. From your employee’s eyes, he or she is seeing a very generous boss, a boss who appreciates his or her job so much. Upon retirement, you will surely be remembered fondly once he or she gets back his or her 401k plan money.
With a 401k plan, there are no losers, just winners. As the employer, you give your employees a necessary boost while saving on taxes. Your employees meanwhile won’t stress about what will happen to them once they retire. So, ask MKS&H to set a 401k plan for you now.
