Acera Insurance welcomes new CFO

In joining Acera, Beattie will take charge of leading the financial risk management operations of the company, which includes the development of a financial strategy focused on mergers, acquisitions and corporate planning. The work also involves close collaboration with Acera’s finance and accounting teams.

“With the significant expansion plans that we have within Acera Insurance and the considerable number of partnerships we are creating across the country, Fayeanne’s expertise will be a huge asset to us for many years to come,” said Andrew Kemp, Acera Insurance president and chairman of the board.

“We began this process looking for someone with a proven track record with acquisitions and systems integration to enhance and guide our exceptional finance team,” added Acera CEO Lee Rogers. “Having someone join us who aligns with our company values and culture was also extremely important. After a rigorous search, I’m excited to welcome Fayeanne to Acera Insurance.”

Acera Insurance was established through the September 2022 merger of CapriCMW and Rogers Insurance. The independent brokerage has 1,000 employees in over 50 offices across Canada, providing custom insurance solutions such as employee benefits capabilities for both personal and commercial clients. It has $1 billion in gross written premiums and more than 350 employee shareholders.

“The merger of Rogers Insurance and CapriCMW solidifies our industry leadership, builds our portfolios and provides significant value to our employees, partners, clients and communities,” said Rogers at the time of the merger.
