Comprehensive Insurance Providers

Comprehensive Insurance Providers, known as The CIP Group, is a Cambridge firm that provides employee benefits, executive benefits, HR administration, payroll and 401(k) and retirement services to employers. Its pitch is that a business can get all of these from one partner instead of juggling several vendors. The firm positions itself as more than a traditional broker, acting as an advocate and strategic partner that learns each client’s business model in detail.

The CIP Group stresses that it acts solely in its clients’ interest, without obligations to third parties, so employers can offer strong benefits and employees can gain financial security. Its technology platforms are designed to fit into a client’s existing systems, and its stated goal is helping companies attract, retain and motivate good employees. It describes a national footprint combined with local expertise, and one client, proALPHA Software Corporation, has used its services for nearly a decade.
