TAMPA, FL – RYZE Claim Solutions, a leading full-service claims management provider, today announced its acquisition of Acorn Claims, a Springfield, Missouri-based firm specializing in daily and catastrophe claims services nationwide. This transaction further supports RYZE’s position in the industry, reinforcing its commitment to innovation, service excellence, and continued expansion as a part of their previously released M&A strategy.
Acorn Claims offers a comprehensive suite of claims management services, including Third-Party Administration (TPA) and its proprietary audit service, Expert Technical Analysis (ETA), which is a dedicated review process to ensure mitigation work is performed to the highest industry standards. These offerings, along with its estimate review program, enhance RYZE’s already robust service portfolio.
RYZE Executive Chairman Tony Grippa emphasized the strategic fit between the two companies, stating, “Acorn Claims aligns perfectly with RYZE’s mission to partner with middle-market adjusting firms that share our culture and growth objectives. Under the leadership of co-owners Rob Brown and Kirk Belz, Acorn Claims has built a stellar reputation as a premier claims services provider.”
Grippa added, “Rob and Kirk have done an exceptional job growing Acorn Claims into a top-tier firm. We plan to leverage their ETA expertise, combined with our technology, to thoughtfully expand our water mitigation review service offering. Their capabilities in daily and catastrophe claims, along with specialized offerings such as ETA, enhance RYZE’s ability to deliver innovative claims solutions while strengthening the valuable partnerships Acorn has built with its carrier partners.”
Brown expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, “RYZE Claim Solutions is an ideal fit for the exceptional team we have built over the past 16 years.” Belz added, “We’re excited to join a forward-thinking company with a national footprint that continuously innovates through cutting-edge technology, such as RYZEQAI. RYZE and Acorn both share a passion for delivering unparallel quality services to clients underpinned by a results-oriented culture and increasingly driven by differentiated technological solutions that drive lower cycle times and reduce human error.”
Rob Brown and Kirk Belz will join the RYZE management team.
