About Cornerstone
About Cornerstone
Cornerstone is a fiercely independent insurance and risk advisory firm built for leaders who refuse to settle for generic answers, vague guidance, or status-quo thinking. We help organizations protect what matters most — their people, performance, and future — by bringing clarity, strategy, and confidence to an increasingly complex world of risk, benefits, and regulation.
Where others sell policies, we deliver perspective.
Where others react, we help leaders prepare, plan, and lead with confidence.
We don’t just manage risk.
We empower growth.

Cornerstone Manifesto
Cornerstone Manifesto
We're in the business of confidence
We're in the business of confidence
Not just insurance — confidence. The kind that lets leaders sleep at night, make bold moves, and build what's next.
Not just insurance — confidence. The kind that lets leaders sleep at night, make bold moves, and build what's next.
The world of risk is uncertain. The rules change. Markets shift. Healthcare costs rise. Compliance tightens. And too often, organizations are left navigating it all with generic solutions and vague advice.
Not on our watch.
At Cornerstone, we bring clarity to chaos and strength to strategy. We partner with the leaders responsible for protecting what matters most — people, performance, and profit.
What We Believe
The status quo is broken.
Generic broker models and opaque pricing don't serve the modern employer. We're here to fix that.
Uncertainty isn't something to fear — it's something to prepare for.
With the right partner, you can stop reacting and start leading.
Independence isn't a label — it's a responsibility.
We're not beholden to carriers or commissions. We answer to you.
Transparency builds trust.
So we're open about pricing, strategy, performance, and process.
Our Promise
- We act in your best interest — always
- We bring transparency to pricing, strategy, and execution
- We serve as a long-term partner — not just a broker
- We use experience, data, and independence to deliver exceptional outcomes
What We Stand Against
- Cookie-cutter coverage
- Complexity for complexity's sake
- Complacency in the face of change
- Brokers who speak in circles or hide behind fine print

Here’s what our customer has to say
“Our retirement plan participation was low, and employees didn’t feel engaged. Cornerstone reviewed our plan design, added education sessions, and introduced tools that made saving easier for our team. Participation and deferral rates increased significantly, and employees now feel more confident about their financial future.”
Retirement Plan — Mid-Size Employer
“Our personal insurance program had been pieced together over the years across multiple carriers and agents. Cornerstone consolidated everything into a coordinated portfolio, identified coverage gaps, and added protections we didn’t know we needed. Now our family assets are fully aligned under one strategy with better coverage and peace of mind.”
Private Client — High-Net-Worth Family
“We partnered with Cornerstone after years of rising premiums and gaps in coverage we didn’t fully understand. Their team conducted a full risk review, restructured our policy program, and introduced proactive safety initiatives. As a result, our total cost of risk dropped, our coverage improved, and we finally feel confident we’re protected the right way.”
Business Insurance — Manufacturing Company
“Our health plan costs were increasing every year, and employees were frustrated with limited options. Cornerstone redesigned our benefits strategy, introduced cost-saving programs, and helped us communicate the value to our team. Employees now have better choices, and our renewal came in significantly lower than projected.”
Employee Benefits — Professional Services Firm
“We were experiencing delays on project approvals because our bonding capacity wasn’t aligned with the size of jobs we were bidding. Cornerstone stepped in, strengthened our financial presentation, and worked closely with underwriters on our behalf. Our bonding capacity increased, turnaround time improved, and we’ve been able to win larger projects with confidence.”
