About Edward Walter

My focus is on empowering small to mid-sized businesses with competitive supplemental benefit programs. With a rich background in voluntary benefits, my mission is to enhance our clients\' ability to reduce costs, improve coverage, and boost benefit participation. The team and I collaborate with insurance agents and agencies, offering them a comprehensive brokerage platform that simplifies the complexity of benefits coordination.The partnership approach with both public and private sector companies is centered on delivering a full-service support system. It\'s about providing business owners, HR managers, and CFOs not just with a service but with a strategic ally in the benefits landscape. Through meaningful community networking and a commitment to trust-building. I\'ve established a strong presence in Michigan\'s key markets, including Lansing, Grand Rapids, and Metro Detroit.

Experience

1. Independent Broker

   Independent Agent

   Jan 2021 — Present · MI, US

   WFP Michigan was created in 2021 to bridge the carrier distribution model to the broker distribution system. The client comes first and our communication strategy partners with the community, local businesses, carrier reps, and health brokers. Walter Financial Partners is backed by experience, dedication, and loyalty to our clients and partners. We enhance the insurance experience by making it relatable to the business owner and employee. The Great State of Michigan is full of hard working families that need to understand the importance of Life, Disability, and Family Income Protection Programs. Many companies that we help have an outdated benefit strategy, poor customer service, or no strategy at all. Ed Walter has been a pioneer in this industry since 2005; by partnering with over a thousand businesses and agents. Our Major Markets are Metro Detroit, Lansing, and Grand Rapids.
