Repeat recognition reflects sustained demand for advanced cash balance and defined benefit plan design among high-income professionals and business owners
GILBERT, AZ, UNITED STATES, August 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Emparion, LLC, a national third-party administrator specializing in defined benefit, cash balance, and combination retirement plan design, today announced it has been ranked No. 1936 on the 2026 Inc. 5000, Inc.’s annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. This marks Emparion’s second appearance on the list.
The Inc. 5000 ranks companies by percentage revenue growth from 2022 to 2025. Emparion posted three-year growth of 176 percent over that period, driven by rising demand from physicians, attorneys, business owners, and other high-income professionals seeking meaningful tax deferral beyond what a 401(k) alone can provide.
Emparion designs and administers plans that allow successful business owners to make substantially larger deductible retirement contributions than defined contribution plans permit. The firm works directly with business owners and through a referral network of CPAs and fee-only financial advisors, serving clients nationwide.
“Making this list a second time is a reflection of the quality of our service,” said Paul Sundin, CPA, founder and CEO of Emparion. “We have deep expertise in how these plans work, and that’s what allows us to structure them properly and maximize the tax savings for our clients.”
Sundin, a CPA with more than 30 years of experience in tax planning and retirement plan structuring, founded Emparion to bring consultative plan design to a market he believed was underserved by transactional administration.
“This recognition really belongs to our team,” Sundin added. “They’ve handled a significant amount of growth, while still providing exceptional service. In conjunction with our referral partners, I expect exceptional growth ahead.”
