Helping businesses build retirement plans that actually work
At DRPS (Defined Retirement Plan Solutions), we’re more than a third-party administrator. We partner with business owners, HR teams, and advisors to make plans that are simple, compliant, and built around people.
We believe that when trust is present, plans perform better. We don’t just handle the math — we handle the relationship.
What sets DRPS apart
Trust you can count on
We prioritize accuracy, timeliness, and doing things the right way — not just the easiest.
You won’t get buried in legal jargon or unanswered emails. We talk plainly and respond promptly.
Clear, human communication
Every client is more than a number. If you need help, we aim to be the people you want to call — not avoid.
Client-first support
We stay curious and proactive. As rules change or your business evolves, we advise and adapt to serve your long-term needs.
Growth through partnership
No surprises, no hidden fees. You’ll always know what you’re paying for — and why. View our Pricing page
