Our Story
“Good businesses don’t just invest in their business – Good businesses invest in their people.“
~ Andrew Hopkins
In the 1990’s, Andrew Hopkins discovered a need for trust and unbiased client support in the insurance industry. In 1997, he launched A.Hopkins Insurance–a firm designed to bridge the gap between company and client in the insurance industry. Since 1997, we have been providing unbiased employee benefits solutions, custom-tailored to businesses of every size.
Just as every business is unique, their needs for employee benefits are unique. We recognize and cater to that individuality, setting us apart from the other benefits firms out there.
Whether your business is small or big, we strive to be our clients’ trusted advisor. Our expertise stretches past simply group insurance, reaching individual insurance products including life insurance, long term disability and critical illness. Our primary focus is to provide unbiased opinions, designed to achieve long-term planning results. Is a traditional benefits program best suited or would a “fully pooled” be better?
Understanding how to budget your benefits as a percentage of your payroll costs, how fully pooled works, what is a target loss ratio? What about a trend factor? These are all factors that affect future premium changes and all things that we’re committed to guiding you through.
We are dedicated to professionally supporting, educating, and providing informed direction to each and every client.
Our Philosophy
“Your business is only as strong as the people behind it. Invest in the well-being of your employees, and it will show in your bottom line.”
~ Andrew Hopkins
A cornerstone of employee benefits planning is the recognition that every firm’s economic and life situation is unique. Personalized service is essential when matching clients with the right financial products and services.
A commitment to professionalism and the cooperative development of unique, personal goals forms the foundation of any strong employee benefits plan.
A plan must reflect its owner’s personal or business situation and highlight those financial products that best fit it. A custom-tailored financial plan must also be continually reviewed to measure its achievements against stated aims and ensure the owner is comfortable everything is moving forward according to plan.
