Who We Are
You need someone on your side to help you navigate risk management and insurance, and that’s what we do. We aren’t in the business of selling an insurance product. With over 50 years of business, Charlesworth Consulting is here to problem solve and advocate for you.

This Isn’t Our First Rodeo
Our History
Our history dates back to 1977 when Art Charlesworth took the insurance world by storm, founding Charlesworth & Associates, L.C. His business focused on consulting without selling any insurance products, a concept we still adhere to today. In the 1980s, three of Art’s children joined the family-run business, and when Art retired in 2000, those three children — James, Bob, and Connie — took over the business to carry on the family tradition.
As the business grew, it was apparent group benefit consulting was becoming increasingly important to clients and consulting services in that line of business was critical. In 2001, we formed Charlesworth Benefits, L.C. Knowing collaboration and a streamlined approach was key, we merged both businesses in 2017 to create Charlesworth Consulting.
In 2020, we expanded further and opened an office in Dallas, Texas.
