About McDowell Insurance & Financial Services
From coverage and claims support to retirement and investment planning, our advisors pair responsive service with a dual-department model that keeps every policy and plan aligned to your goals.

Our Story
McDowell Insurance and Financial Services was founded to give Upstate households and businesses the support of a close-knit team with the reach of trusted carrier and investment partners. We believe in meeting clients where they are—whether that means bundling coverage for a growing family or structuring a retirement income plan for a business owner.
Today, our dual departments keep specialist advisors focused: maroon for Insurance, forest green for Wealth Management. Together we coordinate protection, growth, and claims guidance so every policy and portfolio has a single point of accountability.
Our promise is response time and clarity—so you always know your next step, whether it is a claim or a retirement milestone.
