First large-plan filing

The synthetic 2024 filing reports 127 participants with account balances at the beginning of the plan year, after a 2023 small-plan filing.

Illustrative sources only · No real plan, sponsor, auditor, client, or participant data. An unmodified opinion, normal ERISA §103(a)(3)(C) scope, and a separate filing disclosure can coexist. Public filings do not grade audit quality, prove an unresolved violation, or certify current-year readiness.

ERISA Title I filing scope for this plan year

Form 5500-EZ filers are outside ERISA Title I annual reporting. “One-participant” can include an owner and spouse or one or more partners and their spouses; it is a filing category, not a literal headcount of one.

Enter the filing facts to see a screening result.

For ERISA Title I-covered defined-contribution plan years beginning in 2023 or later that file Form 5500 or Form 5500-SF. Earlier plan years used a different participant-counting method. This screen reports what the filing-category and waiver rules produce from the facts entered. It is not legal, accounting, tax, or audit advice.

Our methodology
What is 5500RADAR?

5500RADAR is a pre-launch plan-intelligence and workflow platform that turns public Form 5500 filings and available audited financial statements into one source-linked employee benefit plan record.

Who is 5500RADAR for?

5500RADAR is built for retirement plan advisers, employee benefit plan auditors and CPA firms, TPAs and administrators, recordkeepers and other providers, and plan sponsors. Each audience works from the same source-linked plan record.

What data does 5500RADAR use?

5500RADAR uses public Form 5500 filings and available attachments disclosed by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA). Each displayed fact keeps its plan year and filed source; product-derived signals are labeled.

Does 5500RADAR decide whether a plan needs an audit?

No. 5500RADAR helps prioritize professional review; it does not make legal, accounting, audit, tax, fiduciary, or investment conclusions. Public filings may be late, amended, incomplete, or incorrect, so a qualified professional must confirm the source and plan-specific facts.

Which CRM, document, and data integrations are available?

The private pre-launch product includes a plan-aware CRM. Connections to Salesforce, HubSpot, DocuSign, and PandaDoc, along with public APIs, webhooks, SEC data, and company-news signals, are planned and are not currently available.
