NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alliant continues to expand its employee benefits footprint in the Northwest with its acquisition of the Hecht Group. The Portland-OR company brings three generations of regional leadership and a versatile combination of employee benefits, financial planning, and insurance expertise under the Alliant banner. The Hecht Group will join Alliant Employee Benefits, the company’s national benefits consulting practice.
“This partnership will support the continued growth of Alliant Employee Benefits and further expand our offerings to businesses and individuals both in Portland and nationwide,” said Tom Corbett, Chairman and CEO of Alliant.
The family-owned Hecht Group has a history reaching back to 1968, and has grown to become one of Portland’s most influential benefits leaders.
