CHICAGO, July 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Since its founding in 2011, The Mather Group, LLC (TMG), a Chicago-based registered investment advisory firm, has been committed to empowering individuals with confidence and peace of mind. This client-first approach has propelled TMG to the forefront of the industry, earning a place on Crain’s Fast 50 list of Chicago’s fastest-growing companies for the fourth straight year.

Crain’s Chicago Business is the premier go-to publication for business and civic leaders in Chicago, elected officials, policy experts and political insiders.

Starting with $150 million in assets, TMG now manages nearly $14 billion across 15 nationwide offices. This remarkable growth stems from a focus on delivering unparalleled service and value to clients, supported by significant investments in people, culture, and technology.

Personalized Service and Transparent Fees

“We specialize in one-stop wealth management, covering financial planning, investment management, tax strategy, and estate planning—all under a transparent fee structure, providing comprehensive support without hidden costs,” TMG CEO Jennifer des Groseilliers said. “As a fee-only fiduciary, we are ethically bound to act in our clients’ best interests. The firm strives to minimize costs wherever feasible and maintains complete transparency regarding its fees, detailed in the firm’s publicly available disclosure documents.”

“We have one comprehensive fee, with the goal of making it simple for our clients to understand without a need to revisit on a frequent basis,” said Ryan Wickert, Chief Financial Officer at TMG. “It’s a set-it-and-forget-it approach. When you come to us, our aim is to simplify your financial life and give you a roadmap for the future while we quarterback all of it. We want our clients spending time with family and friends and pursuing other interests while we handle your financial well-being.”

Tech-Driven Efficiency

TMG leverages data science and machine learning to enhance client experiences and streamline operations. “Our tech-forward approach boosts productivity and ensures regulatory compliance,” said Kristen Oziemkowski, Chief Operating Officer. “While all of this work is performed through the lens of security, tight controls and governance, the ultimate goal is to enhance the client experience and make sure that TMG’s employees are driving value with the clients at the center.”

People and Culture at the Core

TMG recently hired Jessica Cunnick as the Chief Talent Officer, bringing talent acquisition in-house while also focusing on training and development with a new Director of Talent and Development. Cunnick partners with TMG’s Executive Leadership Team to design and implement talent and people strategies, including but not limited to engagement, development, and diversity and inclusion initiatives. The firm is currently in the process of hiring a Director of Adviser Growth to further support its advisers and develop and reinforce critical behaviors, knowledge, and skill sets for the future.

“We’ve really invested in training, leveraging some of our key industry relationships and partnerships to enhance and develop the skill sets, both soft and technical, and business and financial acumen of our team members to drive that exceptional service to our clients,” Oziemkowski said. “We believe that happy and empowered employees lead to happy, empowered, and loyal clients.”
