CIG Financial Services was founded in Archbold, Ohio in 1984 as a small financial planning and insurance practice.


The firm began humbly with a two-room office in Archbold, OH, providing basic wealth management services. In 2005, Mike Childs assumed ownership of CIG when his father, Ray, retired and pursued his vision to evolve CIG into a premier financial services firm.

Recognizing the need for diversified and institutionally driven wealth management solutions, CIG aspires to be one of Northwest Ohio's largest, comprehensive financial services firms. Today, they provide comprehensive financial services and investment management solutions to more than 1,200 individuals, families, and businesses. These valued clients span 23 states and represent $250m in actively managed assets.

CIG is proud to have a growing team of fully equipped and highly specialized professionals located in downtown Archbold. The Firm remains dedicated to helping clients create, manage, and distribute wealth through long-lasting, client centered relationships built on trust and integrity.
