/02 — Local since 2009

Built in Oakland. For Oakland.

Our office sits on International Boulevard — a few minutes from Fruitvale BART and Lake Merritt — and we serve clients across every Oakland ZIP code and the wider East Bay: Alameda, Berkeley, Emeryville, San Leandro, and Hayward.

Local matters in insurance. It means knowing which carriers price Oakland trades fairly, which Bay Area medical networks include your doctors, and which underwriters can move quickly when a deal closes Friday.

It also means you can walk in. Most clients meet us once — and stay for a decade.

What Oakland says about us.

We've sent every employee, every vendor, and our own family to CCAO. They re-shopped our BOP and saved us $2,400 the first year.

Our previous broker stopped returning calls. CCAO answered the same afternoon and bound workers' comp the next morning.
