Employee Benefit Plans

As a plan sponsor in an increasingly complex environment facing employee benefit plans, you know that it is important to have an accountant that is committed to expertise in ERISA. We have dedicated staff specializing in accounting, reporting, compliance, and client support for employee benefit plans. Members of our ERISA group service defined contribution and defined benefit retirement plans, welfare plans, multiple employer plans, collectively bargained plans, and nonqualified plans. We audit over 60 plans and prepare Forms 5500 for many others. Our ERISA group members regularly attend national conferences on employee benefit plans and are current with the latest developments in this field. Macdonald Page is a member of the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans and the Maine Employee Benefits Council.

In March 2004, the firm was the first in Maine and one of the first in the country to join the AICPA Employee Benefit Plan Audit Quality Center. The Center’s mission is to improve the quality of employee benefit plan audits by establishing the highest quality standards by which members are required to adhere to remain in good standing.  The Audit Quality Center also provides a forum for information-sharing with other ERISA specialists throughout the country.
