Here are a few reminders for upcoming deadlines:

  • Multop office will be closed on Saturdays, open weekdays 9-6.
  • 1/31 is the deadline for employers to mail out Form W-2 and for businesses to furnish Form 1099 statements.

Multop Financial Develops 401(k) Market

Multop’s own Ted Newman has been assigned to expand and develop Multop Financial’s presence in the 401(k) market. Phil Multop states, “With increased government scrutiny and the ever-changing regulations and fiduciary obligations related to 401(k) plans, it is highly important to have a local, independent, and experienced firm assisting employers with their plans.”

Ted came to the firm last year with over 20 years of experience in the financial industry, specifically with retirement plans. Mr. Newman explains, “We have the ability to provide employers and business owners with detailed reviews of their current plans, which gives them a chance to find out if the plans are suitable or not. Access to better investment options and better administration are just a couple of the benefits, and very crucial given today’s market environment."

If you would like to schedule an appointment with Ted to discuss your company’s current retirement plan, please contact Ted here, or simply give us a call!
