Celebrating Excellence: Shawntell Taylor Named Among Notable Leaders in Insurance

When we look at the leaders shaping Wisconsin's financial landscape, dedication, expertise, and community commitment always rise to the top, with Shawntell Taylor recognized as part of the Class of 2025 Notable Leaders in Insurance. As the founder and owner of Milwaukee-based Midwest Advantage Holdings Co., doing business as Midwest Advantage Insurance & Financial Services, Taylor has spent over two decades advocating for financial education and empowerment. Established in 2000, her firm supports minority- and women-owned businesses with bookkeeping, business and tax planning, and comprehensive insurance needs. Beyond her business, her impact extends deep into the community through her work as a business consultant for the Martin Luther King Economic Development Corp. and as CEO, president, and interim executive director of the local nonprofit Chayil Inc.

Colleague Crystal Bell of Cre8ive LMF notes that Taylor has continuously used her expertise to uplift others and bridge gaps in resources and financial literacy for underserved entrepreneurs. Leaders like Taylor demonstrate that the insurance and financial sectors are centered on building resilient communities and safeguarding futures rather than just policies and paperwork. Congratulations go to Shawntell Taylor for this well-deserved recognition honoring her lasting contributions to the greater Milwaukee area.
