Testimonials
"Kaeding, Ernst & Company has been my strategic business partner of choice for employee benefits for more than 20 years. The principals, Kevin Kaeding, and Tricia Mackoff, have been trusted advisors to my companies at every stage of growth. They have provided expertise and services to us from our initial days as a start-up through rapid periods of growth, to our current state as a $100MM company. Their ability to translate strategic objectives into tangible benefits program recommendations at each of these stages has ensured positive returns on our benefit investments and supported our growth. The entire team has earned my confidence and goes above and beyond to ensure they maintain it."

"Since I was first introduced to Kaeding, Ernst & Company back in 1989, you have consistently provided extraordinary service and counsel for me in the establishment and management of employee benefit programs. Your knowledge and expertise has enabled you to respond to varying situations with sound business decisions given the landscape of each particular company. Never have you made this a "boiler plate" application but always helped analyze the business conditions and made recommendations that would fit that environment. I personally attribute part of my professional success to your assistance over the 20 some odd years we have worked together. "

"I was introduced to Kaeding, Ernst & Company by a professional colleague 2 years ago. I too became impressed with their knowledge, professionalism, thoroughness and attention to the details, as well as their ability to provide exceptional customer service and creative solutions to address complex business issues. Their excellent counsel has contributed quite handsomely to our bottom line and the success of our benefit programs. Perhaps the best testimonial to what I feel we have found in Kaeding, Ernst comes from our Vice President of Human Resources, who repeatedly tells me how happy she and our entire HR team is ever since we moved to this firm. If you're looking for a top-notch business partner, I would encourage you to give them a call."

"Tricia Mackoff and her team at Kaeding, Ernst have been an invaluable resource to us for the past 7 years. Designing benefit plans that meet the goals of the company and the needs of a varied employee population in an environment of steep healthcare inflation can be a challenge. Tricia and her team have helped us meet this challenge by providing detailed research, market analysis, and tangible recommendations to achieve our stated goals. This guidance, along with their assistance with renewal negotiations, has proven very effective and has helped us deliver quality, cost effective benefit programs to our employees. Tricia and her team consistently display a genuine interest in our employees' well being. Their willingness to invest the time and effort necessary to achieve success is evident in everything they do. KE&Co's combination of resources, expertise and unparalleled service make them the ideal partner for all our benefits needs."
