FAQ

Answering your Frequently Asked Questions:

What is a Third Party Administrator (TPA)?

TPAs specialize in managing the administrative tasks associated with employee retirement benefit plans, such as 401(k) and pension plans. TPAs help employers manage the complexities of plan compliance, record-keeping, and reporting. By outsourcing these tasks to a TPA, employers can focus on their core business while ensuring their benefit plans operate smoothly and comply with applicable laws.

What makes HMA different?

As a fee-only consulting firm, we do not sell investment products, thereby remaining independent of the investment platform that is chosen. Our team concentrates on delivering sophisticated retirement plan designs focused on optimizing employer and employee benefits. We are a boutique shop and pride ourselves on clear and effective communication, prompt responsiveness, and a commitment to delivering accurate results.
