Most business owners assume their CPA and insurance broker are already aligned, but that is not always the case. 📊🛡️

When these advisors work separately, important details can slip through the cracks. Property values may be updated in your financials but not reflected in your policy, business income coverage may not align with accounting records, or policy timing may create unnecessary tax complications.

Our latest blog breaks down why coordination between your CPA and insurance broker matters, where misalignment can create risk, and how better communication can help support more accurate coverage, cleaner financial reporting, stronger claims preparation, and fewer surprises during tax season.

It does not have to be complicated. Sometimes, a simple conversation between your advisors can uncover opportunities, prevent costly gaps, and help your financial strategy and risk management strategy work together.

Many businesses are already paying for their own losses. The real question is whether they are doing it strategically. 💰📊

Large deductibles, rising premiums, unpredictable renewals, and repeated rate increases can leave organizations funding risk without gaining the long-term benefits that may come with a more controlled structure.

Our latest blog breaks down how captive insurance works, who should be considering it, and the key signals that a company may be ready, including significant premium spend, predictable loss history, strong financial position, and frustration with market volatility.

A captive is not just about reducing premiums. It is about changing the way your organization approaches risk financing, claims control, and long-term financial outcomes.

Coverage Highlight: Business Income Insurance 📊⚠️

This week, we’re highlighting an essential coverage that helps keep your business financially stable during unexpected disruptions: business income insurance.

If your business is forced to temporarily close due to property damage from events like fire, theft, or severe weather, the financial impact can go far beyond repairs. Business income insurance helps replace lost income during that downtime, so you can continue covering expenses like rent, payroll, and other operating costs.

It acts as an added layer of protection beyond property insurance, helping your business stay afloat while you recover and reopen. Without it, even a short-term closure could create long-term financial strain.

We’re incredibly honored to share that Swarts Manning, along with our Co-Founder Justin Manning, has been recognized with the Legacy Award from UNLV’s Insurance & Risk Management program. This recognition means a great deal to us as longtime supporters of UNLV and its mission to develop the next generation of insurance professionals.

We’re equally proud to celebrate two of our outstanding interns, Jacinto Alfaro-Martinez (1st place) and Sophie Fleming (3rd place), for their success in the 2026 Kerestesi $10,000 Insurance Challenge, focusing this year on war and terrorism exclusions in the context of a cyberattack. Competing at this level required sharp thinking, strong technical knowledge, and the ability to navigate complex, real-world coverage challenges, and they delivered.

Moments like this reinforce why we’re so committed to investing in emerging talent. Congratulations to Jacinto and Sophie, and thank you to UNLV for continuing to shape the future of our industry. We could not be more proud and excited for what the future holds.
