“One of my biggest challenges as a CFO is to find the time necessary to understand critical areas that have become so intricate and impactful to the bottom line.
No area falls into this category more routinely than Healthcare and P&C Insurance, two of our Company’s biggest cost drivers and ones for which I have minimal expertise (scary combination).

Our Company is too small to justify hiring a full-time expert. In very short order, KBIC worked with our service providers to confirm working areas and initiate innovative solutions for areas that were not. This has solidified my confidence that our Company has obtained quality insurance solutions at the best possible pricing while protecting profitability.

However, if you’re like me, one of the biggest concerns when hiring a 3rd party is to avoid the perception that you no longer trust your insurance brokers. After all, these are people with whom, over time, you’ve developed a business relationship and personal ties. What makes KBIC’s approach so unique is that they’ve developed a process that feels like they are employees of our Company rather than an outside consultant. KBIC’s approach is non-threatening and inclusive; the brokers realize this over time. KBIC is not looking to replace your broker unless necessary. They prefer to enhance these relationships.

My experience has been that our insurance providers respect the process and are eager to collaborate with KBIC to implement changes that benefit our Company. Throughout our time with KBIC, the experience has been positive, rewarding, and most of all allows me the time to work in areas where I do have expertise. My only regret is that I didn’t hire KBIC sooner.”
