In Focus

Welcome to the first issue of CIA Financial Focus – our new monthly newsletter for the clients and friends of CIA Financial Group. This new publication is your monthly look at the financial issues you need to be aware of, while providing you with meaningful content about the people who provide you with excellent service.

This new electronic newsletter is just a small part of our company’s effort to repackage our services and company in 2006. You will notice we have spent considerable time creating a new logo, new marketing materials, and an all-new website that we believe will provide you more insight into what CIA Financial Group does for each and every one of our clients.

For 30 years, we have proudly served individuals, families, and businesses throughout Michigan with some of the finest comprehensive financial services available in the state. With the ability to address your Personal Insurance, Commercial Insurance, Financial Planning, Employee Benefits, and Mortgage needs, CIA Financial Group can help you in more ways than one.
