How We Started

A story of service and excellence spanning over four decades.

Fueled by a passion for helping business owners and high-net-worth individuals navigate the complicated terrain thrust upon them by extraordinary achievements, Theodore Beringer founded the original version of our firm, The Mid-Atlantic Companies, Ltd, in 1979. Over the years, we evolved into a nationwide advisory enterprise with more than 100 employees and offices in many major metropolitan areas, helping thousands of clients along the way.

In the late 1990’s our firm was successfully acquired by a major international corporation which employed many of our principal members and staff, and enabled us to create our own thriving family office. After the acquisition event, a tight-knit group of core team members, committed to our vision of service and excellence, joined together to continue offering a select group of people the skills and tools gained from our unique journey. The collaboration and contributions of those talented individuals have evolved into what is today The Beringer Group.

Our Values

We understand family businesses, because we are a family business.

When trusting someone with the affairs of your family, your money, and your business, it helps to know they value the things that are important to you. The Beringer Group, at it’s core, is a family business. We count on an extremely talented and dedicated team that includes members of two generations of the Beringer family, and seasoned associates that have navigated our clients through countless situations. We are completely independent and we have no proprietary product to sell. When we give advice or make a suggestion, it is always with our clients’ best interests at heart.

What We Do

Many people do pieces of what we do. We are one of the few who bring it all together.

The Beringer Group goes beyond guiding the owners of substantial privately-held businesses and the heads of affluent family enterprises through the critical moments of their endeavors. Our strategic succession planning, investment services, tax mitigation expertise, and access to exclusive private equity networks help us provide clients with innovative, objective, and comprehensive solutions that rarely can be found under one single roof.

In the process, we help our clients avoid catastrophic tax consequences, give their businesses and endeavors new life, and provide for their families, their employees, and their communities for generations to come. We have worked with numerous families since 1979, assisting them in creating legacies that span multiple generations
