Form 5500 information is as filed by the plan administrator with the Department of Labor and may be amended. Figures reflect the plan year shown, not current balances. Form 5500 contains no individual account balances. Look up the original filing at EFAST2.
In the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, Mueblerias Berrios Retirement Plan covered 857 participants and held $9.0M in net assets. The plan is a 401(k) plan sponsored by Empresas Berrios, Inc. of Cidra, Puerto Rico.
Net assets came to $10,495 per participant, well below the $46,267 median for defined contribution plans with 500 to 999 participants and well below the $40,686 median for defined contribution plans in other services. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
The employer contributed $105K during the year, or $151 per active participant against a same-size median of $1,934; participants contributed $815K. Benefits paid out totalled $275K.
Schedule C lists 6 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $101K: $118 per participant, close to the same-size median of $113. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $91K. Schedule C does not capture every cost: fees netted from fund returns and fees the employer pays directly are outside it.
Across the filings on record, net assets went from $6.0M in 2014 to $9.0M in 2024 (up 50%), and participants from 624 to 857 (up 37%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified).

Questions and answers

What does Empresas Berrios, Inc. contribute per participant?
The filing reports $104,825 in employer contributions for the year, which is $151 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $1,934 in plan year 2024. Form 5500 reports the total only. It does not state the match formula, and the per-participant figure is an average, not any one person's contribution.
What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?
Schedule C reports $100,964 in compensation to service provider organisations, $118 per participant or 1.1% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $113 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $91,095. Investment costs deducted inside mutual funds and other pooled vehicles are not itemised on Form 5500, so these figures are a floor rather than a full cost.
Who runs the plan?
The sponsor is Empresas Berrios, Inc.. Recordkeeping or administration: Empower Annuity Insurance Company, A & a Employee Benefits Consulting and Abarca & Associates PSC. Investment advisory or management: Independent Financial Group LLC, Empower Advisory Group and Pariter Securities. The financial statements were audited by Torre Hernandez & Punter PSC. Form 5500 also names the plan administrator's signer and other individuals; this site publishes organisations only.
Was the audit opinion unqualified?
The filing reports an unmodified (unqualified) opinion. Unmodified (formerly "unqualified") is the standard clean opinion.
How current is this, and does it show my balance?
This is the Form 5500 for the plan year 1 Jan 2024 to 31 Dec 2024, received by the Department of Labor on 8 Oct 2025. Filings are due seven months after the plan year ends, or nine and a half with an extension, so the public record always runs a year or more behind. It contains plan-level totals only: no individual balances, contributions or names of participants exist in the data.
