About Mark Ziemba

I am an educator; strategic thinker, planner, and participant advocate who works with small and medium businesses towards improving their overall retirement plan and employee financial education programs. My goal is to help employers provide an employee-centric retirement plan experience with experienced insights into executive and owner benefits as well. The true goal of any employer-sponsored retirement plan is to help a firm develop a thoughtfully designed vehicle to enable its employee so that they may retire with dignity. If done properly, the plan has the potential to foster loyalty among the employees and act as an effective recruiting tool as well. I feel confident that I will look back and have made a meaningful difference in the lives of many, not just a few. I have experience in the field of participant experience, plan design, implementation, and helping increase potential performance. I am in this space because of the potential impact a thoughtful advisor can have when they work in the employer-sponsored retirement plan space. I provide individual investment education to ALL participants if they desire and utilize the latest technology to engage participants who may not otherwise seek guidance. People know me for my concern for my clients and loyalty to them and their goals. I also work to benefit our plan sponsors by assisting with the development, documentation, and coordination of investment committee meeting with our plan sponsors to help them strive to ensure they stay compliant with the Department of Labor.Specialties: 401(k), New Comparability Profit Sharing, Safe Harbor Profit Sharing, Defined Benefit (Pension), SEP IRA, SIMPLE IRA, Corporate Investment Accounts, 3(21) Fiduciary, 404(c) assistance, Investment Committee Education Services, Participant Enrollment and Education Support, Benchmarking Services, and Plan Vendor Search Support.
