About Us

    The Ingroup Associates team was established in 1990 to provide improved flexibility with customized employee benefits and HR technology solutions for our customers. In 2016, Ingroup merged with 23 like-minded, high-performing independent firms across the United States to form Alera Group, the nation’s 14th largest independent insurance agency and the 7th largest privately held benefits firm. This provides us access to resources, technical expertise and best practices of a larger national firm, while maintaining the personal local service employers need. We’ve put together an innovative team of experts to create customized, results-driven strategies for your business. Employers are increasingly faced with rising benefit costs, administrative burdens and compliance liabilities. We have designed our firm to address the specific needs and goals of mid-market companies, and our unparalleled processes leverage market and employer data to make purposeful decisions — leading to better outcomes for our clients. We think a name is part of the building blocks of who you are, and at Ingroup Associates we’re excited to show you what makes us different. Our favorite synonyms for Ingroup are passionate, enthusiastic, and loyal. These are traits that make up our team, and something that sets us apart.
