Client Perspectives

What Michigan Employers Are Saying

Small and mid-sized businesses across Ludington and Michigan trust CFH Insurance Consultants to design employee benefits programs that reduce costs, ensure compliance, and help attract and retain top talent.

"CFH Insurance Consultants redesigned our entire group health program. They moved us to a level-funded plan that reduced our annual premiums by a meaningful margin while actually improving coverage for our employees. Their team explained every step of the process clearly — no surprises, no jargon. For a manufacturer our size in West Michigan, that kind of hands-on guidance is invaluable."
Thomas Kalinowski, CFO at Kalinowski Precision Manufacturing

"As an HR director managing benefits for 120 employees, ACA compliance kept me up at night. CFH walked us through our reporting obligations, restructured our plan architecture to reduce risk, and gave us a clear compliance roadmap. They respond within hours — even after business hours. I finally feel like we have a true partner, not just a broker who sells and disappears."
Sandra Overbeck, Director of Human Resources at Lakeshore Health Network

Director of Human Resources, Lakeshore Health Network

Muskegon, MI

"We were a 65-person professional services firm with a one-size-fits-all benefits package that was costing us top candidates. CFH benchmarked our plan against competitors, introduced dental, vision, and a voluntary life program, and set us up with an ICHRA option for part-time staff. Recruiting feedback improved almost immediately. Their multidisciplinary team — CPAs, HR professionals, benefits attorneys — is unlike any broker we've worked with."
