What our clients are saying

With a full-time staff of only 8 people, we have historically struggled to find a partner who could deliver both quality healthcare options as well as salary and benefits administration. Fortunately, we found that with Total Solutions and they have been professional, responsive and very easy to work with. I would recommend Total Solutions to any small business looking for the same kind of support.” Andrew Lehman Tournament Director / John Deere Classic Andrew Lehman - John Deere Classic As our team grew, we saw a need to offer benefits to our employees to remain competitive. Total Solutions' PEO model provided just what we needed: flexible benefits that we could afford. Because they manage all aspects of offering benefits - from enrollment to pricing to answering employee questions - we can focus our time on our clients and not worry that we remain in compliance with ever-chaning regulations around benefits administration." Linda Wastyn President / Wastyn & Associates Linda Wastyn In the non-profit sector, maintaining lean budgets and high expectations is a delicate balance. Our partnership with Total Solutions has allowed us to have both.” Jen Dobrunz Executive Director / Quad City Cultural Trust
