Decades in the ERISA trenches, focused on small and mid-sized plans that often get overlooked.
The Prizant Group was founded in 2012 to give smaller ERISA plans (1-1,000) employees access to truly independent, flat-fee consulting. Many "micro" plans are still served by asset-based brokers or bundled providers whose incentives are not always aligned with plan success. We work only for you - under a clear fixed-fee arrangement.
How we work with plan sponsors
We start every engagement by understanding what you are trying to accomplish. Together we clarify:

The Prizant Group was formed to provide our clients with a true, independent advocate for their company retirement plan. We believe that goal is accomplished every day.
