There was no alternative
“You don’t consider another alternative when you’re doing what you’re supposed to do.” David Hatter
What happens when you do what you’re supposed to do?
Like when someone passionate about education becomes a teacher. Or when someone committed to engineering excellence is used to solve a potentially big problem. Countless people benefit when just one person decides to deliver world-class service to major business problems.
That’s the story of David Hatter, founder of Arista Consulting Group. He knew he wanted other people to achieve financial security in their own lives. He saw the power of that reality first hand, and he knew other people deserved that same security.
In 2005, David started an employee benefit, retirement and wealth management company called Hatter Group. The Hatter Group saw early success. Soon it attracted the attention of a top benefits company in the Atlanta, Georgia, area. The success of the Hatter Group drew the attention of this benefits company, and soon David merged with that brand to become ARISTA Consulting Group.
Since that time, ARISTA has seen continued success in key markets:
- Architects, Engineers and Construction Industry
- Schools
- Private Clubs/Resorts
- Manufacturing
- Professional Services
- Technology
Today, the ARISTA team continues growing, with each person pursuing the mission of leading people to financial security. From business development to financial advisory services, each person helps our clients lead their employees to the financial security they deserve.
