We are eager to begin working together on behalf of all our clients and prospects."

"This acquisition scales our presence in Michigan, expanding our benefits and wealth platform to a previously underrepresented market for NFP," said Schneider.

We look forward to leveraging Cambridge's established management team and strong producer base to drive organic growth in the larger Central region."
