“With a large retirement plan business serving hundreds of individuals and dozens of companies, we were looking for a partner that could provide the tools and resources to operate more efficiently,” said RC Roland. “We were impressed by LPL’s capabilities and technology, and how the integrated platform can streamline and improve how we can work with clients.”

Along with serving plan sponsors and participants, the firm also provides retirement planning services to individuals. “Transitioning to retirement is a major milestone for all Americans, and it can be overwhelming for clients. We work closely with our clients to design a plan that is tailored to their unique financial goals.”
