ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Feb. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- CCIG, a leader in risk management and insurance solutions for business and individual clients nationwide, announced today the acquisition of an employee benefits firm, Cairn Advisors, LLC. The move extends CCIG's reach in Austin, Texas and reinforces its expected 20% organic growth trajectory in 2023.

"This acquisition enhances our ability to serve more clients across the Southwest region, underscoring our strategic expansion, with a focus on employee benefits," said CCIG Chief Operating Officer JB Richardson. "The Cairn Advisors team shares our passion for creating personalized, forward-thinking insurance solutions, and we are thrilled to leverage their expertise for our current and future clients."

He is passionate about helping companies make the strongest decisions in sourcing, funding, and structuring their healthcare programs.
• About Rich Hejny: Hejny brings more than a decade of insurance experience, having worked for a national health insurance carrier and a third-party administrator before co-founding Cairn Advisors.

"We are thrilled to join the CCIG team as we continue to rapidly expand our employee benefits practice," Rogers said. "CCIG's curious approach aligns with our vision for how to best serve our clients.  The culture aligns with what we believe is critical to building a great business and we look forward to a bright future together."
