"As Controller for a plastics manufacturer, administering health benefits for our employees was a difficult task. Each year we struggled to maintain the quality of health care offered to our employees and their families while trying to find a way to afford the rising costs. Another business acquaintance told us about Riske, Brown & Associates and the way they helped them with their healthcare plan.
Barry Riske and Michael Mains went above and beyond to customize a health plan for our employees that was both comprehensive and affordable. Our group is small and we, employer and employees, were able to save money, while retaining a well designed and complete health plan. They provided us with options and choices we did not know about. The entire staff at Riske, Brown & Associates is excellent and provides exemplary service. I highly recommend them if you want to make your life easier when it comes to employee benefit planning. "
