Employee Benefit Plans

The accounting and tax issues involved with employer-provided benefit plans can be overwhelming. We can assist with the development, implementation and administration of your employee benefit plan.

401(K) PLAN AUDITS

Employee Benefit Plan audits have increasingly become the subject of scrutiny by the Department of Labor ("DOL"). The auditing of these plans is a very specialized and unique service and Brimmer Burek & Keelan LLP is a leader in this area. The guidance and knowledge we provide is critical to the Plan Sponsors, given the incredible amount of fiduciary responsibility involved. We have been commended by clients for our superior service and hands-on partner involvement, as compared to our local, regional and national competitors.
