Don’t just take our word for it

From a large tech company:


Ellingson Group has been an exceptional benefits broker for our company. [Their] personable customer service, advocacy for employees, and proactive approach to problem-solving have been invaluable. 

From a startup:

We are a <10 person startup, and we were unhappy with the benefits options offered through Gusto. When we met Elisabeth, within moments it was clear she is super knowledgeable, has good judgement, is responsible and detail oriented, and cares deeply about getting the right solution for her clients and taking care of them over time. We’ve talked to a lot of providers and brokers, and this was the easiest/best process I’ve seen.

From a Venture Capital firm:

EGI has been instrumental in supporting not only our company’s benefits, but also those of our portfolio companies.

We put people at the center of People Ops.
