FAQ
Pricing questions, answered
Everything needed for your limited-scope audit: planning, fieldwork, testing, draft and final reports, management letter, and Form 5500 review. The only thing that could change your price is a material change in plan scope after engagement.
No. The price we quote is the price you pay. We don't bill hourly, and we don't add charges for phone calls, emails, or reasonable follow-up questions.
If there's a material change in scope (like a merger or significant plan amendment), we'll discuss the impact and agree on any adjustment before proceeding. Minor changes are absorbed.
PEP pricing is based on the number of adopting employers and their size. Small adopters (under 100 participants) are $50 each on top of the base. Large adopters (100+ participants) are $500 each. This reflects the additional testing required per adopter.
Because the audit industry's lack of transparency frustrates plan sponsors. You shouldn't have to make phone calls and wait weeks to find out what an audit costs. Publishing our prices forces us to be efficient and fair.
