What Hecht Group does

Alliant Insurance Services, Inc. is a privately held U.S. insurance brokerage firm incorporated in California, ranked as the 5th largest broker in the United States and the 5th largest globally on the Business Insurance Largest Brokers lists. The company operates two principal service lines: Employee Benefits Consulting (covering plan design, cost analysis, benchmarking, compliance, pharmacy benefits, absence and disability management, clinical services, global benefits, and benefits-related M&A advisory) and Risk Management / Insurance Broking (spanning 17+ industry verticals including agribusiness, aviation, construction, cyber, energy, financial institutions, healthcare, law firms, life sciences, real estate, and transportation, plus solutions in captive insurance, claims, surety, environmental, property and casualty, and structured settlements).

The company distributes services through an enterprise field-sales model with dedicated consultant teams serving clients across all U.S. states, combining local expertise with national resources. Its primary technology asset is a Clinical Analytics Platform that integrates medical and pharmacy claims data across multiple carriers with provider cost, quality, and outcomes data to produce integrated views of plan performance. Specialized solution units extend the portfolio into HR Technology advisory, Human Capital Consulting, Leave Advantage (absence management), and Member Support.

Alliant makes money through professional-services fees and brokerage commissions on benefits consulting and insurance placement. Revenue streams are diversified across employee benefits and risk management, but skewed toward large enterprises and complex mid-market organizations rather than high-volume SMB accounts. Customer segmentation is vertical-oriented, with explicit focus on healthcare, technology, public entity and education, manufacturing, and M&A-transitioning organizations. The firm does not disclose pricing publicly and operates through contact and RFP submission channels for client engagement.
