$110 Million Irvine, Calif.-Based RIA Expands Choreo’s West Coast Footprint and Adds Deep CPA Planning Experience for Business Builders
CHICAGO, March 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Choreo, LLC (Choreo) today announced it has acquired the assets of Insight Wealth Strategies (Insight), an Irvine, Calif.-based registered investment adviser with approximately $110 million in assets under management.
Insight is led by Dean McCormick, Managing Partner, who brings more than 40 years of financial and accounting experience. He is joined at the firm by Tony Luppi, Wealth Manager.
Dean McCormick began his career at Ernst & Young (now EY) and later served as CFO at two companies that merged with publicly traded firms. For the past three decades, he has served as personal CFO and CPA to entrepreneurs and their families.
“Choreo is built for business builders navigating the complexity of growing, owning and eventually transitioning a closely held business,” said Jason Van de Loo, CEO of Choreo. “We equip advisors to serve founders, families and entrepreneurs shaped by concentrated business risk, liquidity constraints, advanced tax planning and generational transition needs. We are happy to expand that capability on the West Coast with Dean and Tony’s planning expertise, which aligns with how builders live and make decisions.”
This announcement follows Choreo’s recent agreement to acquire Northeast Financial Group and Herbein Financial Group, Pennsylvania-based registered investment advisers with approximately $1.3 billion in combined client assets.
“We are excited to join Choreo and to leverage a platform purpose-built for households on a strong trajectory,” Dean McCormick said. “The model combines the planning depth of CPA firms with a modern wealth platform, grounded in the reality that equity events are tax events and that cash flow and tax exposure often drive decisions more than market performance. We look forward to bringing those advantages to our clients through Choreo.”
