As Nielson Hoover Group’s Chief Financial Officer, Keith brought with him over 30 years of unsurpassed experience in the field of Accounting and Business Insurance. In this position, he was responsible for overseeing all of the company’s financial and administrative duties including budgeting, financial planning, and forecasting. Keith also played an integral role in the design and implementation of the company’s producer incentive programs and was in charge of the companies Out-side Audit and 401-K compliance.
Throughout his career, Keith has seen it all and done it all. Starting in the late 80’s, he quickly worked his way up the corporate ladder to the position of Vice President/Controller for the Southeastern region of a large national insurance firm. In 2005, he took over a retiring agent’s portfolio of business and nearly doubled it in a little over 2 years.
In the search for new challenges, Keith made the move to a regional Risk Management firm based in the Southeast when they were looking to start a new bond department. Here, he successfully organized and implemented programs that taught him all he needed to act on his entrepreneurial instincts and started his own firm. So, in 2009, Keith hung his shingle in Palm Beach, Florida. A little over a year and a half later, he came to the attention of the Nielson Hoover Group and after some healthy conversation, he joined the agency as their CFO.
Keith is a graduate of Dowling College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Accounting. He is both a licensed CPA and CIC and a recipient of numerous awards and honors.
Originally from Long Island, today, Keith and his wife Donna of 30+ years reside in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Keith is an outdoor enthusiastic and loves spending time with his wife and family.
