Testimonials
For more than 20 years, our CPA firm has worked with Jim Kidder, Keith Gredys and their people to handle retirement plan design and administration for our clients. We rely on them for guidance on plan issues as well as the development of specific plan solutions. Long ago, we selected them to design and administer our own plan. And we have been very satisfied with their services and professionalism.
The Iowa Society of Certified Public Accountants has been a Kidder client from the day they opened their doors, and we have worked with their Principals for many years prior to that date. We value their professionalism and service, as well as their comfort with the complexities of pension plans. And we rely on them to educate our staff and the members of our association. CPAs aren’t bashful about asking tough questions, and Kidder’s people always have the answers — plus the technical expertise to back them up.
Des Moines Golf and Country Club was wrestling with what to do with our pension plan, but we were never able to get clear answers from our provider. Kidder provided management with the answers needed to make an informed decision about our plan. After we chose a direction, they did a great job of educating our employees about their options in our new benefit plan.
Kidder is a great partner. They respond very quickly to our requests and have built the plan to meet our changing needs. They keep us on top of the latest technical and compliance issues affecting our plan. Their presentations and materials are always prepared and presented in a manner that makes it easy for employees at all levels to understand and secure their retirement benefits.

Kidder helped us make an almost effortless transition from our old, extremely inflexible 401(k) plan to one that provides more flexibility and benefits for both our company and our employees. They educated our management team on the tools, options and benefits available to us. They translated our objectives into a formal plan that was implemented with NO SURPRISES. And they continue to deliver exactly what they promised. The level of contact and service — both before and after implementation — has been outstanding. Our account contact always keeps me apprised of any pertinent issues and personally takes responsibility for making sure we are satisfied. Our employees are pleased with the immediate access to their fund choices and balances. I would highly recommend Kidder Benefits Consultants to anyone seeking qualified plan products and services.
Kidder was a breath of fresh air. They gathered information about our company and our retirement plan goals. They then came back with several ideas and options that applied to our situation. They had actually listened to our needs and wants instead of pulling a plan off the shelf. The choices were presented in a clear, easy-to-understand manner. This enabled us to be confident that we were choosing a plan that was right for our company’s current situation.
