As we wrap up another year, I want to take a moment to say thank you.

To our clients, partners, and friends, your trust means everything to us. This year challenged us to think differently, lead boldly, and stay deeply committed to what matters most: people. We’re proud of the work we’ve done together to support your teams, strengthen your cultures, and build benefit strategies that truly make a difference.

Behind every solution, every conversation, and every moment of support is this incredible team. Their heart, expertise, and dedication are what make Austin Benefits who we are, and I’m grateful to lead alongside them.

As you enjoy this holiday season, I hope it brings you time to reflect, recharge, and celebrate what matters most with those you love. We look forward to continuing to serve you in the year ahead and the future we're building, together.

Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a healthy, prosperous New Year!

Tonight, the Detroit Lions face the Dallas Cowboys in a primetime battle and yeah, history vs. Dallas hasn’t always been kind. Add last week’s tough loss? That’s what they call a reality check. If there’s one thing this team has taught us, it’s that adversity doesn’t define you, the way you react does.

And right now, employers are dealing with their own opponent: devastating rate increases. When costs rise, your reaction shouldn’t cause panic. The solution is clear: get smarter, get strategic, and take back control of your employee benefits spend. That’s where Austin Benefits Group comes in.

Don’t settle for penalties. Report eligible for a better benefits strategy that performs when it matters most. It’s time for a comeback, because your team deserves protection that works as hard as they do.

Supporting forums that bring people together in a real way!

Our CMO, Natalie Kiro, attended the Troy Chamber of Commerce Women’s Business Forum this week and left feeling genuinely grateful.

This group has been such a great inspiration this past year... real conversations, meaningful support, and professionals openly sharing their experiences and showing up for each other.

Huge shout out to Emma Hampton for leading with such purpose, and to the team at Entech Medical Staffing for always being such wonderful, gracious hosts.

As always, we love that the gathering supported Lighthouse MI… small donations, big impact.
