Connected by design
-
Connecting experts
A client of one office can draw on specialists from any other.
-
Connecting innovations
Tools and approaches built in one market are shared across the firm.
-
Connecting insights
Data and lessons from across the country inform the advice a local team gives.
Different minds
Diverse minds think differently. A team drawn from different backgrounds, disciplines and places sees more of a client’s problem, and more ways to solve it.
Colleagues work in local offices that keep their own character, inside a firm that shares what it learns.
When a firm joins
Owners of independent insurance, benefits and wealth firms join Alera Group to give their clients more resources while keeping the relationships they built. Some firms keep their own names within the group.
One example: ARISTA Consulting Group, an Atlanta firm working in employee benefits, retirement and financial planning, joined on September 12, 2022.
