Experience
With 19 years in the employee benefits industry, I have witnessed many changes. Something that has been constant in those 19 years is change. As we see a new administration that is ready to alter our industry landscape once again, wouldn't you rather be working with someone who understands not only the cost side but the human capital side? As one of the larger, local independents in South Carolina, we can offer our clients as much as the national firms, as well as provide the in-depth service and tools but on a different hands-on level.
