$1.3 Billion Pennsylvania-Based RIAs Expand Choreo’s East Coast Footprint and Deepen Tax Planning Alignment for Business Builders

CHICAGO, Jan. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Choreo, LLC (Choreo) today announced it agreed to purchase substantially all of the assets of Northeast Financial Group and Herbein Financial Group, Pennsylvania-based registered investment advisers with $1.3 billion in combined client assets, headquartered in Allentown and Reading, respectively subject to typical closing conditions.

Herbein Financial Group was created over two years ago through a joint venture between Northeast Financial Group, a wealth management firm, and Herbein LLP, an accounting firm.

“Northeast Financial Group and Herbein Financial Group are strong advisory businesses with deep roots in Pennsylvania. We’re excited about our agreement and look forward to welcoming their teams to Choreo upon closing,” said Jason Van de Loo, CEO of Choreo. “They share our focus on business builders and the real-world planning work that comes with running a company, building wealth and preparing for what’s next. Together, we’ll be able to bring clients more depth, coordination and support without losing the local relationships that matter.”

Josh Laychock leads both Northeast Financial Group and Herbein Financial Group. He has over 20 years of financial services experience. Upon closing the transaction, Choreo will welcome 12 full-time employees, including six financial advisors.

Laychock said, “Business owners are navigating a more complex planning environment, with tax policy uncertainty, changing markets and higher expectations for integrated advice. Joining Choreo will give our team added scale, broader capabilities and a platform built to deliver coordinated planning without losing the client-first culture we value. We are excited to begin this next chapter after closing.”

Choreo serves more than 7,000 clients with approximately $27.2 billion in assets under management and advisement as of December 2024.
