### Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Member and Board of Managers of Executive Services Securities, LLC

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Executive Services Securities, LLC's Exemption Report, in which (1) Executive Services Securities, LLC (the Company) identified the following provisions of 17 C.F.R. § 15c3-3(k) under which the Company claimed an exemption from 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3 (k)(1) (the "exemption provisions") and (2) the Company stated that it met the identified exemption provisions in 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3 (k) throughout the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 without exception. Management is responsible for compliance with the exemption provisions and its statements.

Our review was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included inquiries and other required procedures to obtain evidence about the Company's compliance with the exemption provisions. A review is substantially less in scope than an examination, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on management's statements. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to management's statements referred to above for them to be fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the provisions set forth in paragraph (k)(1) of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of Managers, management, the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, other regulatory agencies that rely on Rule 17a-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in their regulation of registered brokers and dealers, and other recipients specified by Rule 17a-5(d)(6) and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

#### Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Applying Agreed-Upon Procedures

To the Member and Board of Managers of Executive Services Securities, LLC:

We have performed the procedures included in Rule 17a-5(e)(4) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and in the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) Series 600 Rules, which are enumerated below, on the accompanying Certification of Exclusion From Membership (Form SIPC-3) for the year ended December 31, 2025. Management of Executive Services Securities, LLC (Company) is responsible for its Form SIPC-3 and for its compliance with the requirements for exclusion from membership in SIPC under Section 78ccc(a)(2)(A) of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970.

Management of the Company has agreed to and acknowledged that the procedures performed are appropriate to meet the intended purpose of assisting you and SIPC in evaluating the Company's compliance with the exclusion requirements from membership in SIPC under section 78ccc(a)(2)(A) of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 for the year ended December 31, 2025, as noted on the accompanying Form SIPC-3. Additionally, SIPC has agreed to and acknowledged that the procedures performed are appropriate for their intended purpose. This report may not be suitable for any other purpose. The procedures performed may not address all the items of interest to a user of this report and may not meet the needs of all users of this report and, as such, users are responsible for determining whether the procedures performed are appropriate for their purposes. The sufficiency of these procedures is solely the responsibility of those parties specified in this report. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures enumerated below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose.

The procedures we performed, and the associated findings are as follows:

1. Compared the total revenues reported in the audited financial statements required by SEC Rule 17a-5 with the total revenues included in the accompanying Schedule of Form SIPC-3 Revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

No findings were found as a result of applying the procedure.

- 2. Compared the amount in each revenue classification reported in the Schedule of Form SIPC-3 Revenues prepared by the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 to supporting schedules and working papers, Form X-17A-5 (FOCUS) and General Ledger. No findings were found as a result of applying the procedure.
- 3. Recalculated the arithmetical accuracy of the total revenues amount reflected in the Schedule of Form SIPC-3 Revenues prepared by the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and in the related schedules and working papers, Form X-17A-5 (FOCUS) and General Ledger.

No findings were found as a result of applying the procedure.

{4}------------------------------------------------

![](_page_4_Picture_0.jpeg)

We were engaged by the Company to perform this agreed-upon procedures engagement and conducted our engagement in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). An agreed-upon procedures engagement involves the practitioner performing specific procedures that the engaging party has agreed to and acknowledged to be appropriate for the purpose of the engagement and reporting on findings based on the procedures performed. We were not engaged to and did not conduct an examination or a review, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion or conclusion, respectively, on the Company's Form SIPC-3 and for its compliance with the requirements for exclusion from membership in SIPC under section 78ccc(a)(2)(A) of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion or conclusion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you.

As agreed, any differences when performing procedures over the accompanying Form SIPC 3 that are less than \$1, due to the SIPC online portal truncating cents resulting in rounding down to the nearest dollar, were considered minor and were not included in our findings.

We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements related to our agreed-upon procedures engagement.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Company and SIPC and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

# Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Member and Board of Managers of Executive Services Securities, LLC:

#### Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Executive Services Securities, LLC (the Company) as of December 31, 2025, the related statements of operations, changes in member's equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

#### Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

#### Supplemental Information

The accompanying information contained in Schedules I and II has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company's financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information. In forming our opinion on the information, we evaluated whether such information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with Rule 17a-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2016.

## **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

### **December 31, 2025**

# **NOTE A—DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

General Organization and Business: Executive Services Securities, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Georgia on July 26, 1989. The Company is a registered broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company specializes in the design, funding, and administration of life insurance plans which meet the needs of nonqualified executive benefit programs of Fortune 500 corporations.

The Company is wholly owned by NFP Corp ("NFP" or "Parent"), which was acquired by Randoph Acquisition Corp ("RAC") on April 26, 2024. Randolph Acquisition Corp consolidates into the financials of Aon plc, the top tier holding company ("Aon" or "Ultimate Parent").

Effective October 23, 2008 the Company changed its legal form to a limited liability company and its name to Executive Services Securities, LLC ("ESSL").

The Company provides its principal products and services through one operating segment. The Managers of the Company serve as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The CODM assesses performance and makes resource allocation decisions, including payment of dividends to its Parent, based upon Net income (loss) in tandem with Net Capital levels. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as Total Assets. Significant expenses regularly provided to the CODM are consistent with those presented in the statement of operations.

Basis of Accounting: The Company prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Concentrations of Credit Risk: The Company occasionally maintains balances with the bank in excess of federally insured limits. Management believes that the risk of loss related to such deposits is minimal.

Commissions revenue from the Company's top two customers, CC Services and Kuvare, represented approximately \$2,939,788 and \$2,400,000, respectively, of the Company's revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Cash: Cash consists of short-term deposits placed with a financial institution.

Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised services is transferred to the customer in the amount that best reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services. Our revenue from contracts with customers

{10}------------------------------------------------

# **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

### **December 31, 2025**

consists of commission revenue and administrative fees. See Note B - Revenue, for additional information on the Company's revenue recognition policies.

# **NOTE A—DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES—Continued**

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes: The accounts of the Company are included in the consolidated federal income tax return filed by Aon North America, Inc. The provision for income tax is calculated as if the company filed on a separate return basis. The amount of current federal tax expense or benefit calculated is either remitted to or received from the Ultimate Parent. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities. The amount of current and deferred income taxes payable or refundable is recognized as of the date of the financial statements, utilizing currently enacted tax laws and rates. Deferred income tax expense or benefit is recognized in the financial statements for the changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities between years.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). This standard was released to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The Company adopted the ASU in 2025 on a prospective basis and separate tax disclosures are included in Note C of the financial statements.

Subsequent Events: The Company has evaluated events and transactions that occurred between December 31, 2025 and February 28, 2026, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued. There have been no subsequent events that would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements as of December 31, 2025.

{11}------------------------------------------------

# **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

### **December 31, 2025**

# **NOTE D—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

The Company has a consulting agreement with an affiliated company under which the affiliated company provides ESSL marketing and general and administrative services and ESSL pays compensation for expenses (personnel, marketing, technology, insurance, additional occupancy and administrative expenses) that may be reasonably incurred by the affiliate on behalf of ESSL. The total expenses incurred under this agreement for the year ended December 31, 2025 was \$4,474,675 and at December 31, 2025, an amount payable to affiliate of \$421,964 is included in due to affiliates in the accompanying Statement of Financial Condition.

Included in due to affiliates in the accompanying Statement of Financial Condition at December 31, 2025 is an amount payable to Parent for expenses associated with administrative services as mentioned in Note B of \$3,675,293 and tax payables to Parent of \$858,793.

During 2025, the Company received authorization and paid dividends to Parent in the amount of \$4,500,000 on April 28, 2025 and \$5,000,000 on October 24, 2025. As a registered securities broker-dealer, SEC Rule 15c3-1 requires the Company to provide written notice to its regulator for any such dividend or capital distribution should certain criteria be met. The regulator may prohibit the Company from making future cash dividend payments if the resulting reduction to shareholder's equity would meet or exceed the defined criteria.

# **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

### **December 31, 2025**

# **NOTE D—REGULATORY MATTERS**
