212 fa(K)tor —Turning Pain Points into Boiling Points

The 212 fa(K)tor is the extra Associated touch that separates us from other advisors. Most qualified retirement plan advisors have similar service models focusing on fees, funds, fiduciary requirements, and education. The 212 fa(K)tor is a combination of our dedication and commitment to the retirement plan space. It is the extra effort that makes all the difference.

At 211° water is hot. At 212°, it boils. And with boiling water, comes steam. And with steam, you can power a train. That one extra degree makes all the difference. This is the difference we bring into the retirement plan service model: being proactive, responsive, accountable and communicating clearly. These things elevate a 211° Retirement Plan to a 212° Retirement Plan. We give your retirement plan that extra degree of service that turns your pain points into boiling points.

Our goal as retirement plan consultants is to make a positive difference while providing the precise solutions that create value benefitting both employers and employees.

Focused on forming comprehensive, tailored plans for its clients with a family-driven approach
