Sarasota County has a bustling financial services sector that is comprised of various types of businesses including banks, insurance agencies, accounting firms and wealth managers. The sector, whose businesses traditionally offer higher than average wages to employees, grew by more than 24 percent between 2002 and 2005, and is poised for future growth.

The Financial Services workgroup hopes to not only identify growth opportunities for financial services businesses, but also collaborate with other business sectors to create a sustainable local economy.
