First Service Bank Profit Sharing & 401(k) Plan is a 401(k) plan sponsored by First Service Bank of Greenbrier, Arkansas. For the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024 it reported 201 participants, 136 of them active, and net assets of $7.6M.
Net assets came to $37,823 per participant, well below the $60,185 median for defined contribution plans with 100 to 249 participants and well below the $92,294 median for defined contribution plans in finance and insurance. 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 $283K during the year, or $2,079 per active participant against a same-size median of $2,447; participants contributed $490K. Benefits paid out totalled $435K.
The filing reports no service provider compensation on Schedule C. That is common where fees are paid by the employer or taken from investment returns, neither of which appears there. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $12K.
Across the filings on record, net assets went from $3.9M in 2013 to $7.6M in 2024 (up 95%), and participants from 125 to 201 (up 61%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified), from an audit whose scope was limited under ERISA section 103(a)(3)(C) to exclude investment information certified by a bank or insurer.

Questions and answers
How big is First Service Bank Profit Sharing & 401(k) Plan?
201 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, of whom 136 were active employees, with net assets of $7,602,508. Among defined contribution plans that places it in the 100 to 249 participants band, which held 21,996 plans in plan year 2024.
What does First Service Bank contribute per participant?
The filing reports $282,765 in employer contributions for the year, which is $2,079 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $2,447 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 no provider compensation for the year. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $12,434. 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 First Service Bank. Investment advisory or management: Variable Annuity Life Insurance Co.. Trustee or custodian: Variable Annuity Life Insurance Co.. The financial statements were audited by Hogan Taylor LLP. 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 from a limited-scope audit, in which the accountant did not audit investment information certified by a bank or insurance company. 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 28 Jul 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.
