Critical Issues for Insurance Brokers to Navigate in 2025

  • Economic Instability
  • Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)
  • Innovation Beyond Cost Arbitrage
  • Inefficient Operations
  • Talent Shortage
  • Technology Gaps

Economic Instability

With the changing macro environment, brokers need to re-focus on margin management and freeing up capacity. A resilient enterprise across economic cycles is an executive priority.

Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)

M&A activity has driven significant industry consolidation, limiting finance transformation and visibility into acquired businesses. A well-integrated, digitally enabled finance function is required to outpace the market, both during transition and post integration.

Innovation Beyond Cost Arbitrage

Current vendors and shared services models have only delivered limited value due to unexplored transformation opportunities. Building capable partnerships that own the digital transformation journey and deliver outcomes is key.

Inefficient Operations

Manual and complicated billing and commission tracking processes across Commercial, Personal and Employee Benefits lines, result in high Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) and impact working capital.

Talent Shortage

Lack of specialized broker accounting expertise and an aging workforce will result in a staffing gap of over 400,000 insurance operations and accounting experts by 2026*

Technology Gaps

Reliance on carrier statement formats and ineffective partial solutions hinder system integration, causing delays and errors in direct and agency billing, NOC issues, AMS posting discrepancies and producer commission payouts.
