Synergy in the group insurance industry
Synex Collective Solutions is a group benefits consulting firm that has successfully evolved to become a key player in Québec’s group insurance market. The firm was founded through a strategic alliance of organizations sharing a common vision: to deliver exceptional support to businesses seeking the best insurance solutions for their organizations and employees.
In 2024, AFL Collective Solutions, JDF Financial Services, and Innov‑Médic joined forces to combine their expertise and establish Synex Collective Solutions. This merger gave rise to a strong firm built on deep expertise and a personalized, client‑focused approach.
In January 2026, Synex Collective Solutions continued its growth by welcoming Alliance Employee Benefits, a well‑established industry player since 2006, and by forming a strategic alliance with Protexio, a specialist in flexible and innovative employee benefits. This partnership brings together Protexio’s technological and actuarial innovation with the strength of an extensive advisory network, accelerating the evolution and modernization of employee benefits solutions.
Synex Collective Solutions is part of the Synex Group, which includes nearly twenty independent firms specializing in property and casualty insurance as well as group insurance, operating from coast to coast across Canada.
Our commitment to our clients and our passion for guidance in the field of group insurance have enabled us to build strong, long‑lasting relationships with our partners. We work closely with Canada’s leading insurance providers to offer best‑in‑class products and services while meeting the specific needs of local businesses.
At Synex Collective Solutions, every client receives personalized attention, with a strong focus on quality, proximity, and customized service.
