Emily Keeton, CEBS, SHRM-CP
CEBS Certified Employee Benefit Specialist The CEBS is one of the most rigorous credentials in the benefits industry — it takes years of study across group benefits, retirement plans, HR, and compensation. When you work with a CEBS-designated agent, you're working with someone who truly understands the full picture of employee benefits, not just insurance products. For small business owners, that depth of knowledge means smarter recommendations and real strategic guidance. Learn more about CEBS → SHRM-CP SHRM Certified Professional The SHRM-CP is a nationally recognized HR certification from the Society for Human Resource Management. It means I understand how benefits fit into the broader picture of attracting, retaining, and supporting employees — not just as policies, but as part of a healthy workplace culture. For employers, this means I can help you think through your benefits strategy in a way that actually works for your people. Learn more about SHRM-CP → FL Licensed Agent Florida Licensed Insurance Agent I hold an active Florida 2-15 Health, Life & Annuity license, as well as a licensed agency registration. You can verify my credentials directly with the Florida Department of Financial Services at any time.

Individual License: W264733  |  Agency License: L135704 Verify license on FL Dept. of Financial Services → Independent What "Independent" Really Means Being independent means I'm not captive to any single insurance company — I don't have a quota to meet or a corporate playbook to follow. I'm contracted with multiple carriers, which means I can shop the market on your behalf and recommend what truly fits your situation. My loyalty is to you, not to any one company. That's a meaningful difference.
About Emily

A Different Kind of Insurance Agent

I'm Emily Keeton — an independent insurance agent based in Florida, and the founder of Keeton Benefits Agency. I work one-on-one with small businesses and individuals to help them understand their options, choose coverage that fits their real lives, and feel good about their decisions.

I am not tied to one carrier or one solution. My only responsibility is to the people I serve. That means I can shop the market on your behalf, give you a straight answer, and stay in your corner long after enrollment.

I hold the Certified Employee Benefit Specialist (CEBS) designation and am a SHRM Certified Professional (SHRM-CP) — credentials that reflect years of deep focus on employee benefits and HR strategy, and that I bring directly to every small business I work with.

My goal isn't to sell you a policy. It's to build a relationship grounded in trust, clarity, and genuine care — and to be the person you call when things get confusing.

If you're looking for an agent who listens first, explains things clearly, and treats your situation like it matters — I'd love to connect.

The Story Behind the Agency

Why I Do This Work

I started Keeton Benefits Agency after spending my career serving business owners, employees, and families inside insurance agencies that believed relationships mattered. For several years early on, I had the rare experience of working for an agency owner who lived that belief fully. He knew his clients. He listened. Their stories mattered. Their needs came before commission. He did life with his clients — their businesses, their families, their seasons of change. The agency thrived because our customers came first. That way of doing business shaped me.

When he passed in 2021, and I left for a promotion the following year, it was evident just how uncommon that approach had become. Too often, insurance felt rushed, transactional, and driven by numbers instead of people. That never sat right with me.

Keeton Benefits Agency exists so I can serve clients the way I believe insurance should be done: independently, thoughtfully, and with integrity.

My goal is to build long-term relationships grounded in trust, clarity, and care — and to be proof that the kind of agency that puts people first still exists.

How I Work

Independent. Personal. Ongoing.

I'm an independent insurance agent, which means I'm not tied to one carrier or one solution. I work directly with my clients, listen to their goals, explain options clearly, and stay involved beyond enrollment.

1

We Talk First

Before anything else, I want to understand your situation — your goals, your concerns, your budget, and what matters most to you. No forms before a conversation.

2

I Do the Homework

Because I'm independent, I can shop across multiple top-rated carriers on your behalf — comparing plans honestly and presenting options that actually make sense for your situation.

3

We Decide Together

I'll explain your options in plain language, answer every question, and help you feel confident and comfortable in your decision, not rushed into making one.

4

I Stay with You

Enrollment isn't the end — it's the beginning. I'll check in annually, help you navigate changes, and be here when questions or issues come up.
