"Our new and cutting edge model continues to appeal to seasoned financial planners within the financial services industry, and we are thrilled to add Jeremiah to our seasoned team," said Kile Lewis, co-CEO and founder of oXYGen Financial. "Most financial firms are continuing to hire rookie financial advisors to sell their products to new customers while we are focused on hiring experienced professionls who are competent at giving overall quality financial planning advice."
Mr. Thompson spent the last seven years at Ameriprise Financial, but shared his excitement around the change to oXYGen Financial. "I'm unbelievably excited to finally offer an unbiased marketplace to my long-term planning clients. Having the ability to sit across the table from someone, look them in the eye and know that you're offering something doesn't just work, but truly has their best interest at heart and not the bottom line of a large company and its shareholders is going to be so refreshing. The further I got in my career, the more I felt the inability to do that nag at me. After all, people put their trust in us. We have such a huge responsibility to do the right thing by and for them."
Ted Jenkin co-CEO and Founder of oXYGen Financial commented about Mr. Thompson's future with the firm. "Our vision of having a cost affordable modern day family office continues to become a reality. Jeremiah brings extremely strong skills to our company to act as the Private CFO® for the business owners and families that hire us. His level of expertise will make a big impact in helping clients breathe easier® about life."
oXYGen Financial was founded in 2008 by Ted Jenkin and Kile Lewis who saw a need for an independently owned modern day family office that represents Generation X and Y individuals and small business owners for financial planning, investments, insurance, and accounting services. The company has experienced over 70% growth in the past year, and has plans to expand its operations within the metro Atlanta area.
