Position Summary. This Consulting Specialist position will reside in APDRS Compliance reporting to the Retirement Plan Optimization Consultant. The primary function of the Specialist is to consult directly with New Business and Sales Support Associates, along with Salespeople, Financial Advisors and Clients to determine if this cross tested plan feature (specifically a New Comparability allocation formula) within their qualified retirement plan would be an effective way to maximize the benefits of the owners and higher paid employees of their prospective or existing clients.

The candidate for this position will be responsible for assessing prospective (and existing) client census populations to complete allocation illustrations (previews of what employer contributions may look like after their year-ends), and also doing other types of employer allocations when necessary to illustrate how overall costs of the plan can be minimized, while having a greater percentage of the plan's contributions be allocated to a targeted group of employees.

Another critical function of this position is to complete the annual nondiscrimination testing associated with these plans, and the additional cross testing required for these type of employer allocations. Also, on a mid-year basis, revisit the census population and allocation formulas to ensure that the clients are maximizing their benefits and minimizing costs, and performing ongoing plan design consultation as needed.
