360 integration with most payroll providers
Automatic payroll contributions changes and participant contribution uploads to 401k

Educating Your Employees

One of the key advantages of partnering with Savvy is our unique approach to supporting your business benefits plans, which combines traditional in-person education and advice with innovative, tech-driven outreach. We prioritize comprehensive support for both on-site and remote employees to make sure they understand your 401(K) offerings. Your people operations and human resources teams have enough on their plates. Let us take one item off of it, which helps your employees feel supported.

How a Savvy Advisor
Works with Your Business

We believe that having a Savvy advisor work alongside the plan sponsor and serve as the 338 investment manager enhances effectiveness, but what does this mean? You select the right investment advisor for you, and Savvy has a selection of plans to choose from. The advisor will help you select the right plan for your business, and then become the investment advisor on the plan. This means they can advise your employees around the right investments for them with the plan you select. They know the plan and the employees, so they can offer recommendations to help them plan for retirement.
