The Mosaic Company

The Mosaic Company is a Chicago-based registered investment advisor founded by Derrick Allen, a CPA who heads a team of over twenty professionals. The firm presents itself as a wealth management partner rather than a traditional asset manager, focusing on personalized service for business owners, corporate executives, and families. The firm provides tax services, investment advisory, and estate and financial planning. It acts as a personal CFO, coordinating with clients’ external advisors to unify financial and tax strategies. The Mosaic Company targets individuals and families with complex financial situations, including business owners managing intertwined business and personal assets. Its geographical focus is the United States, with its sole office in Chicago. The team includes CPAs, CFP professionals, and other advisors, but the firm does not publicly disclose assets under management. The Mosaic Company does not appear to manage any investment funds or vehicles with a public track record. The firm maintains a blog discussing tax planning and behavioral finance. The Mosaic Company differentiates itself by emphasizing advisory integration rather than product sales. It does not promote proprietary investment strategies or a distinct investment philosophy beyond acting as a coordinator. Its structure as a team of CPAs and CFPs under one roof is common among RIAs but distinguishes it from larger asset managers.
