In our opinion, the financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company on December 31, 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. #### Basis for Opinion This financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statement 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 statement is 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 statement, 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 statement. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. We have served as the Company's auditor since at least 2002 but were unable to determine the specific year.

Organization and Nature of Business** Alight Financial Solutions LLC (the Company) was organized on April 8, 1994, in the state of Illinois, and commenced operations on December 21, 1994. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Alight Solutions LLC (the Parent), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Alight Holding Company, LLC. The Company's ultimate parent is Alight Inc. Alight Inc. trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol ALIT. The Company is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (the Member) and operates as a separate segment. The Company clears its security transactions on a fully disclosed basis through Pershing LLC (the clearing broker). #### **2. Significant Accounting Policies** #### **Basis of Presentation** The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed in the preparation of the Statement of Financial Condition in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). #### **Use of Estimates** The preparation of the Statement of Financial Condition in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Statement of Financial Condition and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. #### **Cash** Cash includes checking accounts and an interest bearing account at a non-affiliated bank. Restricted cash included on the Statement of Financial Condition represents cash on deposit in a special reserve bank account for the exclusive benefit of customers. {7}------------------------------------------------ # Notes to Statement of Financial Condition (continued) ### **2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)** Restricted cash included in deposits with clearing broker on the Statement of Financial Condition represents cash set aside to satisfy requirements under Rule 15c3-1 of the SEC. ### **Fidelity Bond** The Company maintains a \$200,000 fidelity bond. ### **Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements** In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). This update requires public entities, including those with a single operating or reportable segments, to provide more detailed information about significant segment results that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The new standard also requires companies to disclose the title and position of the individual (or the name of the committee) identified as the CODM. The requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2024. The adoption of this ASU resulted in additional disclosures as described in note 8, and did not have a material impact on the Company's Statement of Financial Condition. ### **3. Related-Party Transactions** Certain services are provided to the Company by the Parent under a Management Agreement (the Agreement) effective January 1, 2023, for which the Company incurs an allocated charge. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company agrees to pay for all operating expenses incurred by the Parent or its affiliates on the Company's behalf including, but not limited to, costs associated with employee compensation, office space, and equipment. Employee compensation is allocated based on the estimated time spent on activities of the Company and includes benefits. Cost of office space and equipment is based on the average per-employee cost by practice and location as determined periodically by the Parent. The amount due by the Company under this Agreement is \$547,631 and is reflected as Payable to affiliate as of December 31, 2024. The Company is the affiliated broker-dealer of an affiliated mutual fund and earns shareholder services fees from this mutual fund. The amount due from this fund for fees earned is \$91,530 and is reflected as receivable from affiliate as of December 31, 2024. {8}------------------------------------------------ # Notes to Statement of Financial Condition (continued) ### **4. Concentration of Credit Risk** The Company has a concentration of credit risk in that all of its cash is held at one bank but does not believe it is exposed to any credit risk. ### **5. Income Taxes** The Company is organized as a limited liability company with a single member owner and, as such, is not separately subject to income taxes. The results of the Company are included in the financial statements and the income tax return of Alight Inc. ### **6. Commitments and Contingencies** The Company has agreed to indemnify the clearing broker for losses that it may sustain from customer accounts introduced by the Company. The Company and the clearing broker monitor required margin levels daily and, pursuant to guidelines, request customers to deposit additional collateral or reduce securities positions when necessary. In accordance with applicable margin lending practices, customer balances are typically collateralized by customer securities or supported by other types of recourse provisions. Generally, except as provided under applicable law or the Company's limited liability company agreement, the liability of each Member for the losses, debts, and obligations of the Company shall be limited to such Member's interests in the Company. ### **7. Net Capital Requirements** As a registered broker-dealer, the Company is subject to the SEC's net capital rule (Rule 15c3-1), which requires that the Company, at all times, maintain net capital, as defined, equal to the greater of \$50,000 or 6-2/3% of aggregate indebtedness, as defined. The ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital cannot exceed 15 to 1. As of December 31, 2024, the Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 0.29 to 1 and the Company's net capital was \$2,895,898, which was \$2,840,866 in excess of required net capital. Rule 15c3-1 may effectively restrict advances or distributions to the Parent. Under the clearing arrangements with the clearing broker, the Company is required to maintain certain minimum levels of net capital and comply with other financial ratio requirements. At December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all such requirements. {9}------------------------------------------------ # Notes to Statement of Financial Condition (continued) #### **8.
