Janice Jessen - Human Resources Manager, New Braunfels Utilities

New Braunfels Utilities (NBU) recently contracted with Adviant to produce a salary survey of twenty-two positions identified as areas in NBU with the largest turnover and most impacted by business growth and competition in the local area.  Adviant was chosen based on their experience, affordable cost structure, and ability to meet a very compressed timetable.  They immediately grasped our vision and focus for the survey and put together a team to collect and analyze results.  Most admirable, was the degree that Adviant worked to ensure participation from the maximum number of organizations.  The report was concise and definitely met our needs.

Lana Douglas - Practice Manager, Retina Specialists

When our office integrated from a practice management company to bring human resources, payroll, and benefits back in-house, we knew we had undertaken quite a challenge.  Adviant was highly recommended by clients that also used the services of our accountant.  Adviant provided insight, education, and support to us during this transition and ensured that we were ready to "go solo," helping us build our department from the ground up.

Sheri Line - Vice President, Human Resources, TIER REIT

Adviant assisted TIER REIT with the implementation of our HRIS and payroll system when we converted from an outsourced arrangement to in-house processing.  Adviant's team partnered with us to ensure a successful outcome.  The Adviant team became an extension of our team, working with us side by side, measuring our goal completion and timeline adherence.  With this watchful approach, our goals were often exceeded and completed ahead of schedule.  Adviant provided oversite for much of the detailed analysis required during our implementation.  The level of review given our project was critical to an on-time completion of our conversion.  Working in tandem with the Adviant team was not only a pleasure, but resulted in the successful accomplishment of our project.

I have worked with Adviant several times, both personally and with my clients.  They have assisted me and my clients with new hires, corporate governance, compensation questions, and how to navigate the numerous and ever-changing briar patch of HR issues.  Adviant has always been professional, knowledgeable, and approachable.  I highly recommend them.

Vickie Dudley - Executive Director, Children’s Center of Southwest Missouri

Adviant is a tremendous asset to our employees and the human resources function of the organization.  As a small not-for-profit agency with limited resources, Adviant was able to enrich our benefit package at a reasonable cost, allowing employees to add dental, vision, accident, cancer, and disability insurance.  One of the most valuable resources provided by Adviant is human resource consultation.  They are just a phone call away when a question arises.  Consultation services were also invaluable in updating our employee policy and procedure manual to meet state and federal regulations.

As a new practice, Adviant was an invaluable asset to Maningas Cosmetic Surgery.  With employee satisfaction being of the utmost importance, one of our goals was to be able to provide benefits within our first year.  Adviant was able to provide many options for us to choose from.  Empowering our employees to take charge of their own healthcare.  They are an excellent resource and I would recommend the company without hesitation.

Alexander Hirschberg - Chief Operating Officer, iWear Holdings Corp.

Adviant was a great resource for benefits for our small business.  Initially working with a large company, I felt that our needs were not catered too.  When I got introduced to Adviant the warmth, speed, and detail put in to each quote was impeccable.  They ultimately guided us to the best policies for our Company - Adviant truly provides the total package.  Also, the relationship continued past the signature.  They're always available to answer questions and make sure our benefits match our Company's ongoing needs.

Kash Tandon, CPA, MBA - Founder and CEO, Business Advisors MD

As a rapidly growing billing company that focuses its services on labs, we needed to be able to retain the very best employees in the industry.  We were looking for a partner to give us advice, and most importantly, a partner that was going to be dependable and responsive to our ever changing needs.  Adviant has been along our side whenever we have needed their assistance and has exceeded our expectations!

Steve Courtade, MBA, CTP - C.R.O., ABLE Manufacturing & Assembly, LLC

After several months of unsuccessfully running our own search process, we called on Adviant to take over our search for a V.P. of operations.  An Adviant principal quickly came to our plant and interviewed us on our needs and corporate culture to truly understand what type of candidate we were looking for.  Within a few days, Adviant started an exclusive search process for us.  Adviant's team pre-screened several hundred resumes and distilled down the top 7 or 8 candidates for us.  Notes and summaries were provided for each candidate from initial interviews, which enabled us to move seamlessly through the interview process with our team.  We were able to fast-track the process and hired the right candidate within 45 days from the start.  I cannot speak highly enough of the responsiveness, professionalism, and service from Adviant.  We will definitely use them again on any other executive searches.

Gregory Edmund - President, G. W. Edmund & Associates, LLC

Going from a being an independent contractor to hiring employees was something I had resisted for several years.  My main concern was how I would handle the hassle of providing employee benefits to my employees, which I needed to do to be able retain them.  I was referred to Adviant by my CPA firm and Adviant has taken care of everything.  What I thought would be a major headache, turned out to be a quick meeting that laid out my options and I was able to easily make my choices.  When it came time for renewal, it was, again, a simple process.  My employees are very happy with the benefits program developed by Adviant - that to me is the best recommendation.  I had been afraid a small employer like me would not be able to get an agent to really care about my business, but, Adviant proved me wrong.

Diane McConnell - Human Resources, Labette Bank

Labette Bank had been outsourcing our payroll, had an outdated time clock program, and we had a manual process for tracking benefits.  Adviant allowed us to streamline our time clock program, bring our payroll processing back in house, and also provided a great way to track benefits.  I cannot praise Adviant’s staff enough!  They made this transition incredibly easy and their support team has been wonderful to work with.

Lorri Adams - HR / Office Manager, Ozark Plastic Products, Inc.

When I came to work for Ozark Plastics eight years ago, I was very new to the HR side of business.  Adviant has been extremely helpful over the years with my HR issues and questions, along with helping us with our benefits packages.  I have enjoyed and benefited greatly from my dealings with Adviant and look forward to working with them in the future.
