Zen Financial provides full-service retirement plan advisory for businesses across New England. We handle plan design, provider selection, ongoing compliance support, and what sets us apart — hands-on participant education that helps your employees actually use the plan.
Whether you’re setting up your first plan or looking for a better advisor for an existing one, we work with a full range of employer-sponsored retirement plans.
Best for: Businesses of any size looking for the most flexible and widely recognized retirement plan.
The 401(k) is the standard for employer-sponsored retirement plans. It allows employees to contribute a portion of their salary on a pre-tax or Roth basis, with optional employer matching. We handle the design, implementation, and ongoing advisory so the plan works for both you and your team.
Best for: Business owners and highly compensated employees looking to maximize tax-deferred savings.
A cash balance plan is a type of defined benefit plan that allows significantly higher contribution limits than a traditional 401(k). It’s one of the most powerful tools available for business owners who want to accelerate their retirement savings while reducing their current tax burden.
Best for: Self-employed individuals and owner-only businesses with no full-time employees.
The solo 401(k) offers the same contribution advantages as a traditional 401(k) but is designed specifically for business owners with no employees other than a spouse. It allows both employee and employer contributions, giving you the flexibility to save aggressively when business is strong.
Best for: Businesses with 100 or fewer employees looking for a cost-effective plan with employee contributions.
The SIMPLE IRA is designed for smaller businesses that want to offer a retirement plan without the administrative complexity of a 401(k). Employees can contribute through payroll deductions, and employers are required to make either a matching or non-elective contribution.

The 403(b) is the retirement plan equivalent for tax-exempt organizations.

We help nonprofits and educational institutions ensure their plan is competitive and their employees are supported.
