What our clients are saying…
As the only full-time employee at my photography studio finding a quality benefit plan was difficult. When I was introduced to Ken he took the time to get to know and understand my family’s needs. Ken made the process of choosing our benefit plan surprisingly simple, informative, and enjoyable. Our plan is perfectly suited to my family’s lifestyle and budget. I strongly recommend Ken to any business owner considering employee benefits!
– Julie W.
Ken introduced us to “Group Flex Benefits”. The Benefits were not only superior to our current plan, but we reduced our premiums while implementing a Group RRSP. We commit the same premium dollar amount to all our employees, and they choose from three plan options that best fulfill their individual family needs with extra dollars being deposited into their group RRSP. We are treating our employees Equitably, which creates Equality.
– Carol K.
Our family business’ benefit plan had a very large premium increase at renewal. Ken reviewed our existing plan and designed a fully pooled benefit plan with better benefits, including 100% prescription drugs, children’s orthodontics, and an employee critical illness benefit. After 5 years our monthly premiums are still lower than our previous plans’ renewal would have been. Ken is also available whenever we need assistance.
– Lily S.
Do you need someone who will give you your best options when it comes to choosing an employee benefit program? I am the owner of small business and wanted something comprehensive and affordable for myself and my staff. Ken was able to tailor the best program for us within a modest budget. Ken is very friendly and reliable, always answering any question or concern. I highly recommend him.

Why should my company have a benefit plan?
