MAP Retirement Expands Southeast Presence with the Addition of Retirement Solutions Specialists

MAP Retirement, one of the nation’s fastest-growing, technology-forward third-party administrators, today announced that it has completed its seventh acquisition, adding Retirement Solutions Specialists, a respected Jacksonville-based TPA serving more than 1,200 retirement plans, to its growing national organization. The move expands MAP’s presence across the Southeast and reinforces its vision of building one national organization united by shared systems, culture, and people-first values.

“MAP was built to unite the best TPA firms into one high-performing organization that never forgets its local roots,” said Micah DiSalvo, Chief Executive Officer of Madison Retirement Holdings. “Sandra and Jay represent the kind of leadership that defines our culture — entrepreneurial, client-focused, and dedicated to their people.”

“Our growth continues to be fueled by firms that believe in doing things the right way,” said Joe Burt, Chief Executive Officer of MAP Retirement. “Retirement Solutions Specialists brings exceptional talent and a reputation for service that fits perfectly with our mission to be the most trusted, technologydriven TPA organization in the country.”

Founded in 2009 by Sandra and Jay Eilers, Retirement Solutions Specialists has grown from a family start-up into one of the region’s leading independent TPAs. Known for its strong relationships with advisors and plan sponsors, the firm credits its success to word-of-mouth referrals and a commitment to personalized service.

“We built this company one relationship at a time, joining MAP lets us keep that spirit while giving our team the resources, technology, and security of a larger organization. It’s the right next step for our people and our clients.” said Sandra Eilers, Co-Founder of Retirement Solutions Specialists.

“This isn’t an exit for us — it’s a new chapter,” added Jay Eilers, Co-Founder of Retirement Solutions Specialists. “MAP gives us the ability to focus on what we love most: helping advisors and plan sponsors succeed, supported by a national team that shares our values.”

With this latest acquisition, MAP Retirement now serves nearly 11,000 retirement plans and one million participants nationwide. Backed by Levine Leichtman Capital Partners, MAP is building a single, integrated firm that combines national scale with local expertise — one unified culture, one technology platform, and one clear purpose: to make retirement administration more efficient, secure, and people-centered.
