Transparent 401K, LLC was founded to address the complaints and needs of companies confused and frustrated with their retirement plan’s fees, funds, and services. The founder, Marianna Prueger, used to work for large banks and insurance companies that often charged their customers large undisclosed fees wrapped in funds. Passionate about offering companies and their employees a much better solution, she founded Transparent 401K.
