Both Decimal and these small business advisors are dedicated to providing small businesses with services that outshine the approach of most large organizations, while delivering a cost-effective and flexible solution. Both organizations share a focus on solutions and services that meet the unique requirements of small businesses.

Decimal’s program, the Road to Retirement Network, works with small business advisors, such as financial advisors and CPAs, to use 401(k) plans to help build their businesses. Decimal’s small business 401(k) solution, The Online 401(k), specializes in small plans; and allows these advisors to play a key role in creating and manage the investments for a 401(k) plan with little restriction in terms of the investments they select.

Decimal also provides numerous tools, including customized marketing materials and proposals that will help advisors not only help manage their client’s 401(k) plans, but will also help them win business. Coming soon is a Web site, which members of the Road to Retirement Network can use to customize marketing materials and proposals. Most importantly, this site will allow these advisors to manage and create fund lists and investment models; and track their clients’ 401(k) plans.

Decimal introduced its offering, The Online 401(k), to small businesses as a smart, affordable alternative to the products with hidden fees present in the overwhelming majority of 401(k) providers. The Online 401(k) allows small businesses to directly manage its 401(k) plan online while also making dedicated personal customer care a top priority.

Chad Parks, CFP^® and CEO of Decimal says “These small business advisors directly complement the way that The Online 401(k) works and gives small businesses the best of both worlds: A comprehensive solution previously available only from large organizations, with the personalized attention of a small firm.  We are looking forward to enhancing their offering with our 401(k) solution, which suits the needs of their customers and is easy to get up and running as well as maintain.”
