The Mather Group, LLC (TMG), one of the nation’s fastest growing Registered Investment Advisory firms, with 12 offices nationwide and more than $14 billion (AUM/AUA as of 3/31/2025), today announced it has entered a strategic alliance with Pillar Wealth Management Inc., a Walnut Creek, California-based wealth management firm with over $200 million in assets under management. This marks TMG’s fourth acquisition in the San Francisco Bay Area and reflects the firm’s continued commitment to building a strong local presence in markets with long-term opportunity. The transaction expands TMG’s footprint in the region while supporting its broader strategy to grow across the West Coast and deepen its service to high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families.

Pillar Wealth Management’s co-principals, Hutch Ashoo and Chris Snyder, have over 36 years of experience providing financial advisory services to high-net-worth clients. The firm offers customized investment management, retirement planning, tax strategies, and estate planning recommendations tailored to affluent clients with complex financial needs. Pillar’s in-depth, goals-based approach is reflected in its comprehensive planning process and wealth strategy consultations.

“This partnership allows us to maintain our high-touch, boutique service model while gaining access to expanded resources and a broader platform to better serve our clients,” said Hutch Ashoo, Pillar Wealth Management Co-Founder and CEO.

“Since our inception, we have been dedicated to goals-based planning and low-cost, tax-efficient investment portfolios designed to meet each client’s risk tolerance,” added Pillar Wealth Management Co-Founder Chris Snyder. “TMG has a parallel philosophy to Wealth Management and a suite of services our high-net-worth clients will appreciate. I am excited about the future.”

The acquisition supports TMG’s ongoing growth strategy to build a national wealth management firm with deep regional expertise. Pillar Wealth Management’s experienced team will continue serving clients locally.

“We’re excited to welcome the team at Pillar Wealth Management to The Mather Group,” said Jennifer des Groseilliers, CEO of The Mather Group. “Together, we’re uniquely positioned to help more clients build financial strategies rooted in what matters most—their values, their families, and their vision for the future. Because we believe true wealth management starts with why, not just how."

The Mather Group’s partnership with Pillar Wealth Management marks the firm’s 21st strategic alliance since 2018 and reflects its continued momentum in building a scalable, client-centric Registered Investment Adviser platform for the future.
