Smith Brothers Insurance, a Connecticut-based broker, has expanded its reach by acquiring Moscato & Associates, an independent agency located in Ithaca, New York. The deal, finalized on August 1, 2025, brings Moscato & Associates’ expertise in employee benefits, individual health, and Medicare under the Smith Brothers umbrella.
Edward Moscato and his team will join Smith Brothers while keeping their office in Ithaca. This move allows Smith Brothers to strengthen its employee benefits services and grow its presence in central and southern New York, areas that are key for their expansion plans.
Smith Brothers operates with more than 250 professionals across offices in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York. This acquisition adds to their footprint and broadens their offerings, especially in the New York market. By keeping Moscato & Associates’ team and location intact, Smith Brothers aims to maintain the personalized service clients expect while benefiting from a larger network.
This step marks another chapter for Smith Brothers as it continues to grow through strategic partnerships and acquisitions. For customers in New York, it means more options and expertise right in their backyard.
