Respecting Who You Are
When you join NFP, the last thing we want to do is impose our corporate DNA on you. Instead, we want to learn what’s made you successful, better understand how you help clients overcome their biggest challenges, and integrate your DNA into our community. We respect who you are, the impact you’ve had on your clients and your community, and the people who comprise your organization. We improve by building from what you’ve achieved, preserving the great things you’re doing, and creating paths to grow your business, relationships and people.
A Beginning, Not an End
It’s easy to say you’re not an exit strategy, but it’s harder to prove it. Our retention is driven by value, and the principals who choose to remain with us for years after joining continue to see it. Access to expanded offerings and specialized intellectual capital – in P&C, corporate benefits, individual solutions, retirement and wealth management – that provide an opportunity to offer more comprehensive, integrated solutions. Resources to fund acquisitions and producer recruiting, advance operational efficiency, and build on your foundation of success. Sales enablement tools, resources and content to engage clients throughout the buying process. Our goal is simple: proactively collaborate with you to accelerate organic growth and ensure the perpetuity of your practice.

Integration the Right Way
Welcoming firms to our community deserves a disciplined process that aligns with our focus on growth and our passion for strong personal relationships based on trust, transparency and active communication. It starts with a conversation about where you are today with your clients, your team and your markets, recognizing any challenges, and deciding together on the best path forward.
From there, NFP’s Integration Management Office (IMO) leads a cross-functional group of professionals – from HR, technology, accounting, risk management and marketing – focused on collaborative and seamless transitions that minimize business disruption and maximize value. The IMO is your key point of contact during the transition period to strategically integrate your office, providing crucial oversight within our 100-day plan. The IMO partners with you on tailored objectives, actions and timelines – supported by clear expectations and communication – to ensure we get off to a great start.
