Plan Professionals, LLC of Shrewsbury, New Jersey sponsors Ezchoice 401(k) Pooled Employer Plan, a 401(k) plan. Its Form 5500 for the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024 shows 1,023 participants (898 active) and $39.9M in net assets. It is a multiple-employer plan covering the employees of more than one employer.
Net assets came to $39,041 per participant, well below the $50,295 median for defined contribution plans with 1,000 to 4,999 participants and well above the $24,581 median for defined contribution plans in administrative and support and waste management 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 $1.7M during the year, or $1,891 per active participant against a same-size median of $2,045; participants contributed $2.5M and $144K arrived as rollovers and other contributions. Benefits paid out totalled $2.2M.
Schedule C lists 4 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $118K: $115 per participant, well above the same-size median of $82.08. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $146K. Schedule C does not capture every cost: fees netted from fund returns and fees the employer pays directly are outside it.
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 Ezchoice 401(k) Pooled Employer Plan?
1,023 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, of whom 898 were active employees, with net assets of $39,938,552. Among defined contribution plans that places it in the 1,000 to 4,999 participants band, which held 10,207 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Plan Professionals, LLC contribute per participant?
The filing reports $1,697,879 in employer contributions for the year, which is $1,891 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $2,045 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 $117,532 in compensation to service provider organisations, $115 per participant or 0.29% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $82.08 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $145,772. 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 Plan Professionals, LLC. Recordkeeping or administration: Transamerica Retirement Solutions, and Plan Professionals, LLC d/b/a NPPG. Investment advisory or management: NPPG Investment Services LLC and LPL Financial Corporation. The financial statements were audited by Templeton & Company. 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 15 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.
