Who We Are

About Allegia Wealth

A family-first financial planning firm built on a simple idea: do what is right for the client, every time.
Allegia Wealth Management was founded after Darren Colananni saw firsthand what happens when advice is driven by sales instead of what is actually right for the client.
His own family experienced it. The recommendations they received were good for the advisor, not for them. He made it his mission to make sure that never happens under his watch — and Allegia was built around that promise.

Our story

Today the focus is simple: do what is right, dig deeper, build real relationships, and deliver a plan that truly serves the client. We work with successful individuals and families who have done well financially but don’t always feel that their money is working together. Investments, retirement, and everyday decisions can feel disconnected, making it hard to see the bigger picture.
We look beyond the numbers to understand what matters most to you — your life, your family, and what you are working toward. Then we build a complete Family Financial Plan that brings everything together, so you can understand how each decision supports where you are headed.

How we work

Right, not sold

Advice driven by your best interest — never by what is good for the advisor.

One connected plan

Investments, taxes, and retirement aligned into a single Family Financial Plan.

Real relationships

We take time to understand who you are before recommending anything.

Built to adapt

As life changes, your plan evolves with it so you keep moving forward.

The Allegia belief

True financial planning is not about chasing returns. It is about building a life where every decision supports where you want to go. That belief shapes every conversation we have and every plan we write — and it is why our clients stay with us for the long term.

Do what is right. Dig deeper. Build real relationships.
