Executive Benefits Planning

Retaining and compensating key executives can be a challenge. Highly compensated individuals demand plans that are tax-preferenced and provide them and their families with protection in the event of death or disability. The success of an organization can also be hindered in the event of unexpected loss of a key executive due to turnover or accidental death or disability. WeberMessick works with businesses and not-for-profits, along with their key executives, on designing plans that help to protect and potentially reward all parties over the long term.

Profit Sharing Plans

Losing key employees is always a risk to a company. Profit sharing plans can be a way to involve key personnel and provide a sense of participating in the profitability of the company. In addition, since most are established with restrictions as to when and how funds can be withdrawn, these plans can act as a deterrent for turnover. We can assist you on determining if and what type of profit sharing plan may be beneficial for your company.

Tax-Favored Retirement Plans

Many variations exist for tax-favored retirement plans. Some examples include qualified plans, non-qualified plans, employer-sponsored, individually-established or insurance arrangements. In some situations, certain accounts may be protected from creditors. With expertise in both tax and investments, the professionals of WeberMessick can evaluate your needs and objectives to help design a plan that is suitable for your unique situation.

Estate Planning

Effective estate planning facilitates the orderly transfer of assets to your beneficiaries, provides protection for your surviving spouse, and can reduce or eliminate the tax due on the transfer of your business and other assets.
