Services

Hewitt Financial Statement Preparation

All employee benefit plans with more than 100 participants must submit a financial statement and audit report along with the annual Form 5500—or face penalties that easily run $100,000 or more for each plan. Compiling the information needed is highly technical, specialized, and extremely time consuming.

Hewitt Form 5500 Preparation

Most organizations that offer employee retirement and welfare benefit plans are required to file a Form 5500 each year—a time-consuming, highly specialized task that internal HR staff often lacks the time or expertise to complete. And penalties can be steep—$1,100 each day a filing is late.
