Teresa McPherson, CIC

Business Insurance Advisor

Business Insurance Advisor Teresa McPherson has been working with some of her clients for over 20 years. Teresa finds ways to work that knowledge into decreased risks and better assurances for business. As a Certified Insurance Counselor, Teresa earned the designation that matches her three decades of experience.

But it’s not just about certifications for Teresa. She sees her role as like that of a physician. Teresa said, I listen, observe and uncover potential risks. Then I diagnose and put in a treatment plan with policies to reduce and transfer risk. Finally, I monitor and make changes to the plan as needed. This is what I believe makes me a trusted choice for my clients.

One of Teresa’s clients wrote that she has unmatched expertise and unheard of tenacity. Teresa takes her work of insuring businesses seriously. She advocates with insurance carriers when it comes to claims, and keeps in close communication with her clients after the policies are written. When relaxing, Teresa can be found with family and friends at the beach, enjoying Georgia Tech football, renovating her house, or trying out a new recipe.
