Company Retirement Plans
We implement pre- tax (401k/403b) and post- tax (Roth 401k/Roth 403b) company retirement plans for any size organization and business.

A few of our plan partners are recognized names such as Fidelity, Charles-Schwab, Ameritas, and Brinker. We are an independent wealth management firm, which means we are not beholden to any one company’s products/plans.
Self-Employed Individual Retirement Plans
We guide self-employed individuals in selecting, opening, and managing their retirement plan options such as SEP IRAs and Solo Individual 401(k)s. Our self-employed individual plans are offered through our custodians Fidelity and Charles-Schwab.
Retirement Plans with Change Management
We recognize that implementing a new retirement plan or replacing a previous retirement plan requires effective change management to minimize disruptions with your employees and business. With our strong background in both Human Resources and Finance, we partner with your organization’s Legal, Finance, Accounting, Human Resources, and Senior Leadership Team(s) to ensure a positive transition.

Outplacement & Transitional Support
- Individual
- Reduction in Forces (RIFs)

Individual - Outplacement Support
At times, organizations must change and modify their work structure(s) to meet business needs. Position elimination(s) and involuntary terminations can occur based on the needed work location, restructures, and/or acquisitions. For organizations that are compassionate and want to protect their brand, AKPride provides 1:1 financial and insurance consultation/coaching services to impacted individual(s).
Organizational - Outplacement Support
A reduction in force (RIF) can be highly stressful for the employees and as well as for Human Resource professionals who are managing exits. AKPride reduces the emotions and financial stress running high for laid-off employees while in transition. AKPride has experience designing, developing, and facilitating customized sessions in person and/or webinars for organizations (and their Human Resource teams) needing financial and human resources outplacement support.
Why Us?

We guide laid-off employee(s) across the country (in one or multi-site locations) with their options and solutions in 401k/403b retirement plans, pensions, employee stock, RSUs, HSAs, deferred compensation, disability insurance, life insurance, and other important benefits.

Succession & Exit Planning
Buy-Sell agreements are one of the most important elements in the planning for any business’s long-term success.
Buy-sell agreements help align parties on the value of a business and outline the control process in ownership of a business when a triggering event voluntarily or involuntarily occurs. Triggering events can occur for a business owner such as death, becomes disabled, voluntarily wants out of the business, divorces, personal bankruptcy, or the business owner retires selling to more than one buyer. As a result, we believe buy-sell agreements play a critical protection role in both estate and succession planning. For these reasons, our firm works with a business owner (or multiple business owners) to ensure these types of agreements are proactively versus reactively put into place.
Succession Planning
With our firm’s strong experience in both Human Resources and Finance, we are able to help business owners and organizations of any size design effective plans for their successor(s).
Our relationship with our clients goes beyond the listed services. We partner with your Legal, Finance, Accounting, Human Resources, and/or Leadership Team(s) to coordinate the needed technical expertise along with creating an effective change management plan for the organizational impact on both your business and employees.
