Why PracticeCFO is Moving More Clients from Schwab to Vanguard’s 401(k) Plan

by PracticeCFO | February 12, 2025

At PracticeCFO, we’re always looking for ways to improve retirement benefits for our clients while ensuring compliance with complex ERISA laws. That’s why we’re transitioning more clients from Schwab’s pooled 401(k) option to Vanguard’s participant-directed plan—a move that benefits both practice owners and their employees.

Why Vanguard?

  • Low Fees – Vanguard is known for its industry-leading low-cost investment options, reducing expenses for both employers and employees.
  • Participant-Directed Accounts – Unlike Schwab’s pooled plan, Vanguard allows employees to personally manage their 401(k) investments, giving them greater control over their financial future.
  • Direct Payroll Integration with Rippling – Vanguard integrates seamlessly with Rippling, reducing payroll processing errors, ensuring timely contributions, and strengthening ERISA compliance.
  • Reputation & Stability – Vanguard is one of the most trusted names in retirement investing, providing best-in-class fund options and investment tools.

What This Means for Your Practice

By moving to Vanguard, you’re providing your employees with greater flexibility, lower fees, and direct access to their retirement savings—without the complexity of pooled accounts.

Seamless Conversion Process

Transitioning from Schwab’s pooled plan to Vanguard’s participant-directed option takes time and expertise, but our PracticeCFO team is highly experienced in handling these conversions. We ensure the transition is smooth, compliant, and beneficial for both practice owners and employees.
