Principal counsel and a partner in operations.

Every Daniels Solutions client account is led by Christopher and supported by Shawn — one engagement, two principals, shared visibility into every renewal, claim question, and compliance deadline.

Principal Broker & Founder

Christopher Daniels

Christopher Daniels, Principal Broker and Founder of Daniels Solutions
In the industrySince 2000
Founded firm2016
OfficeGreater Tampa Bay
LicensedNationwide

In the employee benefits business since 2000 — more than 25 years designing group health, ancillary, and voluntary programs for employers across the Greater Tampa Bay area and nationwide. Founded Daniels Solutions LLC in 2016. Leads program design, carrier negotiation, and renewal strategy on every account.

Christopher built this firm to be the alternative to an industry that sells policies instead of designing programs — an independent practice that treats every engagement as a fiduciary responsibility, with the principal broker involved from design through renewal.

"The job isn't to place coverage. It's to design a program that quietly does its work — retains talent, satisfies regulators, and stops surprising the CFO at renewal."

Chief Information Officer at Daniels Solutions LLC. More than a decade leading the firm's technology, data, and integration practice — the work that makes paper-to-digital migrations, HRIS and payroll feeds, and HIPAA-aware client communications actually run.

Partner on every account alongside Christopher: owns the platform stack that keeps deductions reconciled, enrollments in sync, and compliance evidence audit-ready quarter over quarter — for clients across the country, not just in Florida.

How We Work

An engagement, not a transaction.

Every Daniels Solutions client follows the same four-stage process — designed so the work compounds year over year rather than starting from zero every renewal.

01

Audit

We start by quantifying what your current program delivers: actual claims data, plan utilization, premium-to-coverage ratios, and gaps relative to peer employers in your industry and headcount.

02

Design

We model two to three program structures across the major carriers, with side-by-side cost, coverage, and contribution scenarios. Commission disclosure included in writing.

03

Deploy

End-to-end enrollment, employee education sessions, and the digital administration setup — including HRIS and payroll integration. Your HR team is supported, not assigned more work.

04

Steward

Quarterly check-ins, mid-year utilization review, compliance calendar management, and a pre-renewal modeling session — so the next renewal isn't a surprise.

Credentials & Standards

Verifiable, not just stated.

Independent broker status is not a marketing term — it's a regulatory one. Daniels Solutions operates as a Florida-domiciled insurance agency under the oversight of the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation, with individual licensing extending nationwide so distributed workforces stay in one engagement.

  • Licensed by the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation
  • Independent agency — appointed with multiple major carriers, captive to none
  • HIPAA-aware intake, storage, and communications protocols
  • Written commission disclosure on every engagement
  • Member of national broker associations and continuing-education programs
