What The Harris Group Wealth Management does

The Harris Group Wealth Management, LLC is a privately-held financial advisory firm headquartered at 15255 S. 94th Ave, Suite 500, Orland Park, Illinois, with a team of 1-10 employees. The firm delivers a unified wealth management offering that spans retirement planning, portfolio construction and risk management, peak-career wealth building, estate strategy, insurance guidance, tax planning, and employee benefits, operating through a documented three-step client process (Setup, Strategize, Execute). Securities are offered through a core broker-dealer affiliation with Cetera Wealth Services, LLC (transaction-based commissions), while investment advisory services are delivered through Cetera Investment Advisers LLC (fees based on assets under management).

The firm has no proprietary technology platform; its digital infrastructure is built on FMG Suite, which supplies the website, an educational resource library (70+ articles, 50+ videos), and interactive financial calculators, supplemented by a Pivot Health integration for health insurance distribution. The go-to-market is consultation-led: prospective clients enter through educational content, seminars, and complimentary consultations, then convert into either brokerage or advisory engagements. Client acquisition is augmented by in-person seminars (e.g., July 2024 'Leave a Legacy' estate planning event) and a multi-persona segmentation approach targeting retirees and pre-retirees, small business owners, working professionals, and women.

Revenue mechanics are split across two streams — transaction-fee brokerage commissions and recurring AUM-based advisory fees — with pricing individualized and not publicly disclosed. The firm operates exclusively in the United States from a single Orland Park office, with no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or subsidiary structure. Cetera Wealth Services, LLC is identified as a strategic operating parent within the Cetera-affiliated independent advisor network.
