TESTIMONIALS

“My perennial favorite, the Tools and Techniques of Employee Benefit and Retirement Planning provides clear, correct, current information in a digestible format that is conducive to the learning process. We can emphasize those Chapters that have most relevance, and de-emphasize areas that we feel are beyond the scope of our major objectives.”

James M. Knaus, CLU, ChFC, CFP®, MSM
Faculty Chair, Oakland University , Personal Financial Planning Certificate Program
Practitioner with Global Wealth Advisors LLC, Registered Investment Advisor

“I always look forward to the latest edition of any of the Tools & Techniques Series, but especially the Tools & Techniques of Employee Benefit & Retirement Planning. This area changes so much and so rapidly that I have found that only a resource like this can keep up- -and this one is the best at keeping up. I view it as the most authoritative source available and wouldn't be without it.”

Edward R. Wolfe, Ph.D.
Professor of Finance and Director, Financial Planning Program, Western Kentucky University

"If you work in the retirement planning or employee benefit areas, you need this book. It provides clear, easy to understand explanations of a fairly complex subject."

"Regarding the test bank for Tools & Techniques of Employee Benefit and Retirement Planning, the questions in it are very usable. Most test banks include too many questions that are too easy to use. This test bank includes challenging questions. I look forward to more questions with more application and evaluation."
