Strongpoint Partners continues its west coast expansion by welcoming the dynamic team at Allied Consultants, Inc. ("ACI") to its coast-to-coast network
CHICAGO, Aug. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Strongpoint Partners ("Strongpoint"), a tech-enabled retirement services platform serving small- to mid-sized businesses with integrated retirement third-party administration, recordkeeping, payroll, and HR solutions, announced a new partnership with Allied Consultants ("ACI"), a reputable provider of custom qualified retirement benefit plan solutions for clients nationwide, based in Chino Hills, California and serving the community for almost 40 years.
"ACI is an excellent firm with a very strong reputation for quality," said Danny Hest, CEO of Strongpoint Partners. "Meeting Nelson Yeung (Founder and President of ACI) and his team really solidified our view that they shared our values and passion for serving small and medium-sized businesses through personalized service and customized strategies. Nelson and his team have built a great business, and we're so excited to partner with ACI and help them continue to evolve and grow."
Yeung agreed, "I've seen other TPA firms like ours flourish as a part of Strongpoint's network, and that certainly caught my attention. It has always been imperative to me that if ACI were to pursue a partnership, our team and our clients would continue to be nurtured with the same level of care and attention, knowing that they don't have to worry about their retirement. After meeting with Strongpoint's leadership team and learning more about Strongpoint's support model, I knew this is the ideal next step for ACI. The future looks very bright for ACI - we can't wait to take advantage of Strongpoint's resources for long-term growth."
Michael Heflin, COO of Strongpoint Partners, believes that the expertise of ACI's team will benefit the Strongpoint family of brands. "Having Nelson and his team on board will be a huge asset to Strongpoint and all our Partners. Not only are we further expanding our presence on the West Coast, but our entire network will benefit from collaborating with Nelson and his team of consultants at ACI. They have developed some very innovative operational strategies that have allowed them to scale efficiently, that the rest of our network is excited to learn and benefit from. We're thrilled to welcome them to our family."
As with all Strongpoint Partners, the ACI team of 48 employees will all remain in their current roles, continuing to provide high-touch service and expertise to their clients, while sharing their knowledge with colleagues across the Strongpoint network.
