Dear Hannah,
As you know, MassCPAs relies heavily on feedback from our members, because we want to develop programs and offer benefits that will help you succeed. For years, we’ve been hearing from members, especially at our smaller firms, that they want cost-effective retirement plan options. We put our heads together, did our research, and after much planning, I am proud to announce our
new, exclusive retirement plan offering – the Pooled Employer Plan (PEP)!
Through this benefit, MassCPAs member firms and companies can take advantage of our “economy of scale” and receive significant cost savings you might not have access to on your own. A few highlights include:
- Tax benefits for your business and staff
- Outside administration support via a third-party administrator (TPA)
- Objective advice and support from a local financial advisor
- Reduced overall implementation costs and annual administrative expenses
Have a great weekend!
Amy Pitter
MassCPAs President and CEO

Please take this brief survey before October 31
to help us better understand the severity of the issues you experience with the IRS service levels and to solicit your feedback on the robo call centers.
