So much of a company’s success today is dependent upon its profits, and few business components yield better earnings than a satisfied workforce.

An accomplished and sought-after benefits specialist in the United States , Canada and the U.K. , Dan’s book spans the history of company benefit plans from their evolution in the early days of railroads right up to Sarbanes-Oxley, a legislative landmark that stemmed from the 2000 Enron fiasco. A Manager’s Guide to Strategic Retirement Plan Management smoothly clarifies the often complicated and shifting dynamics of retirement accounts, 401K plans, defined benefits vs. defined contributions, and other details and implications of employee benefit resources. Though geared for benefits managers, Dan’s book also offers an up-to-date, informative resource for employees who want to keep an eye on benefit managers hired by their employer to keep an eye on their future. Dan is President of Argus Consulting Ltd of Concord MA, specializing in retirement plan consulting services for qualified and non-qualified benefit plans of clients in the US, UK and Canada. He is chair of the SOA’s Smaller Consulting Firm section and a standing member of its Education and Examination Committee Executive Group.
