Financial Guidance
For those seeking financial guidance, there are many pitfalls along the way. When you do not know where to turn to develop a financial plan, knowing the difference between a 401(k) vs. a 403(b) plan, or whether having an IRA instead of a 401(k) is the right decision for you, we’ll be there to guide you.
For better financial planning experience, Total Resource Financial is here to help you.
401(k) Planner
Our team offers the financial guidance you need to map out your future. We work with you to figure out how much you should be putting into your 401(k) for your target retirement date. We work with clients all over the country, including our home state of Florida, from Hillsborough to Pasco to Pinellas Counties, to help receive a better financial plan for their futures.
401(k) vs. 403(b)
The main difference between a 401(k) vs. a 403(b) plan is who offers the plan. The 401(k) Plan is provided by for-profit companies to eligible employees. Eligible employees make contributions either through pre or post-tax money through payroll deductions. Employers may make matching contributions for those employees who qualify.
A 403(b) retirement plan is offered to employees of nonprofit organizations or government employees. The participants in this type of plan include teachers, school administrators, professors, government employees, doctors, nurses, and librarians. Many plans vest sooner than a 401(k) or allow for immediate vesting of the funds.
Total Resource Financial helps residents in the Florida counties of Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, Manatee, and Sarasota, as well as across additional states and counties, gain a better understanding of their financial options in regards to their retirement plans.
Rollover 401(k) to IRA
If you are changing jobs or careers, you may have questions about the options regarding your 401(k). Our financial guidance can help you decide if rolling your 401(k) over into an IRA account makes the most sense for your situation.
Instead of a 401(k), an IRA can open up new investment opportunities for your money. Opportunities with potentially opening a Roth IRA, additional cash incentives, and easier estate planning advantages are available one you rollover your 401(k) into an IRA account.
