    As the HR Coordinator for a small specialty manufacturing company, I wear many hats. Since I wear so many hats it was wonderful to work with a company that could take some of the load off of my shoulders. The entire team at Michigan Planners has a wealth of up-to-date knowledge and I take a tremendous amount of comfort in knowing that we are in good hands. I honestly can't imagine working with a better company and I can't recommend Michigan Planners enough!!!!
