A national firm made of local ones
Alera Group formed in 2017, when 24 employee benefits firms combined into one company. Since then, independent insurance, benefits and wealth firms across the country have joined, and some keep their own names within the group.
The model is easy to describe. You work with a team near you that knows your market and your people. When a question calls for an actuary, a pharmacy specialist, a captive consultant or a compliance specialist, that team brings one in from elsewhere in the firm.

Why Alera GroupA note on payment fraud
Criminals sometimes pose as insurance and financial firms, using email addresses and web domains that look almost right.
Before you send a payment, or change where one goes, confirm the wire or ACH instructions by phone. Use a number you already know, not one printed in the message. If anything looks wrong, stop and call.
