About Us
In 1976, the founder purchased an old Centennial Farm House to serve as the company's headquarters. As the year marked the country's Bi-Centennial, the founder decided to rename the firm The Centennial Group, inspired by the name given to farms that had been run by the same family for 100 years. Today, more than 50 years later, The Centennial Group remains a thriving financial services provider, dedicated to serving the Midwest with the same long-standing commitment as its namesake founders did in the last century
In 1990, we founded our own Broker-Dealer, Centennial Financial Services, to cater to the investment needs of the same demographic. In 1996, we expanded our investment offerings to include Investment Advice and established Centennial Investment Planning. In 2007, we ventured into the world of Employee Benefits Consulting and founded Centennial Employee Benefits, with a focus on serving small to medium-sized businesses. As our firm continued to grow, we sought a more comprehensive approach to compliance and subsequently sold our Broker-Dealer and Investment Advisory practices in 2006. We moved our relationships to Principal Securities, Inc. in 2013.
