Previously called Hanson McClain Advisors, Allworth too focuses on retirement planning.
The acquisition adds around $80m in assets to Allworth’s books, taking the firm’s total assets to more than $4bn.
Allworth did not disclose how much it paid for the purchase.
Allworth co-founder Pat McClain said: “We’ve been looking for firms to partner with for a little over a year now, and we’re proud that our business model and approach to financial planning is resonating.
“Blueprint and its team are known for serving their clients exceptionally well, and we are looking forward to making additional investments to help them grow and meet with more clients.”
The recently-rebranded Hanson acquired HBP Retirement Group earlier this year.
Last year, Hanson bought Simply Money Advisors.
Blueprint co-founder Denis York said: “We wanted to find the right partner to help us best serve our existing clients while enabling us to grow faster than we could otherwise.
“We selected Allworth because they have a strong history of organic growth and expertise in the financial planning sector.”
