About Wendell Charles Insurance

WCIG is a subsidiary of Wendell Charles Financial, LLC, a wealth management firm founded in 2011 serving nearly 1,000 clients in more than 25 states.

As the firm grew, it became clear that the same independent, client-first methodology was needed for Property & Casualty insurance for both individuals and businesses. We believe this integrated perspective helps identify appropriate risk measures in a more complete way.

Through our SIAA partnership and direct appointments with top-tier carriers, we provide access to personal and commercial insurance solutions while keeping your overall plan streamlined and efficient.

Our Approach

As an independent insurance brokerage, we believe in a free-market approach to your insurance needs. We identify appropriate coverage levels, quote multiple insurance carriers, and select from the best cost-to-value comparison.

We'd love to work with you.
