For 40+ years, we’ve helped families and business owners throughout Westchester County, including Rye Brook, and nearby Fairfield County, CT, cut through the fine print, avoid paying for coverage they don’t need, and make sure they have the protection that matters most.

Choose Your Path
Insurance advice built around people. Not paperwork.
Insurance gets complicated fast. Between confusing jargon, fine print, rising costs, and small details that are easy to miss, it is no surprise that many people feel unsure about what they want, have, or need.
Our job here is simple: slow it down, explain it clearly, and help each client choose coverage that makes sense for real life.
Where do you want to start?
Individuals & Families
Life changes. Your insurance should keep up.
We help coordinate coverage across the things that matter most so your policies work together, and you’re not left exposed.
- Home, auto, umbrella, life, disability, and long-term care
- Reviews across multiple carriers for better fit and value
- Guidance as life changes
Business Owners
Running a business is complicated enough. Your insurance shouldn't add to the headache.
Business owners need coverage that protects the company, the people who work there, and the future they are building.
- Liability, property, workers' comp, cyber, and more
- Group health and employee benefits
- Advice that grows with your business
Why Newhouse Financial Group
- Independent Broker
- 40+ Years of Experience in Westchester
- Clear, objective advice
- Real options conveyed in layperson's terms
- Help when it's needed and matters most
Our philosophy is simple:
Everyone deserves the best insurance plans at the best rates.
But here’s the catch. The cheapest policy doesn’t always equate to the best one. You don’t want to discover that at claim time.
That’s why we take an advisory approach, helping you understand the trade-offs before you choose a policy. When a client has a claim, support doesn't stop after the policy is sold. There is someone in the corner to help you navigate it.
Newhouse Financial is a strong fit for families and business owners who want guidance, objective comparisons, and someone to help them make sense of the details in layperson terms.

Testimonials
Your neighbors have been with us for years. Here's why.
When something goes wrong (a claim, a coverage question, a renewal that doesn't look right), you want someone who picks up the phone and knows your name. That's what we hear most from clients who've been with us for 10, 20, sometimes 30+ years.
Jim has been our insurance advisor for over 15 years. When we had a claim, he handled everything, and we never felt like we were on our own.
— Client, Harrison, NY
I've referred Jim to my employees, my family, and my business partners. That says everything.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you charge a consultation fee?
Compensation comes from the insurance companies represented, and it does not add a separate fee to the client’s policy.
Do you only work in Rye Brook?
Our office is in Rye Brook, NY. We work with families and businesses across Westchester County, including Scarsdale, White Plains, Chappaqua, Mt. Kisco, as well as nearby communities in New York.
We also help area businesses and families who live or work in Fairfield, including Greenwich, Stamford, Darien, New Canaan, and surrounding towns.
Why should I periodically review my current insurance?
Great question! Many people come to us for a second opinion.
When we review your current policies, we'll explain what they actually cover and point out gaps, overlaps, omissions, and other areas where you might be paying for something you don’t really need or want.
Insurance works best when the pieces fit and work together. A quick review can often reveal things that aren’t obvious until someone walks through it with you.
Why work with an independent insurance advisor instead of going directly to a company?
When you work directly with one insurance company, or a 'Captive' agent, they often only have a couple of options to show you.
An independent advisor can compare plan options with several companies and explain the differences in plain English.
That flexibility often makes it easier to find protection that truly fits your needs, your budget, and the way your life or business is actually structured.
Do you work with clients in Connecticut?
Yes. We work with families and businesses across Fairfield County, CT, including Greenwich, Stamford, Darien, New Canaan, and surrounding communities. Connecticut and New York have different insurance regulations, so having an advisor who understands both markets matters, especially for businesses operating across state lines or owners who live on one side of the border and work on the other.
Why work with an independent insurance advisor instead of going directly to a company?
When you work directly with one insurance company, you’re seeing one set of options.
An independent advisor can compare coverage from multiple carriers and explain the differences in plain English.
That flexibility often makes it easier to find protection that fits your needs, your budget, and the way your life or business is actually structured.
Is your coverage properly and adequately protecting you?
A review does not have to be a big project. It is simply a chance to take a closer look at what is in place, ask questions, and make sure the protection still fits.
