Apollon Financial, a fee-based provider of advisory services affiliated with Apollon Wealth Management, has just expanded its reach in the Southeast with its latest acquisition.
On Wednesday, the firm announced that it has acquired the DeHollander Financial Group, marking the latest step in a strategy to expand its network of wealth management firms across the US.
Based in Greenville, South Carolina, the DeHollander Financial Group is headed by Rob DeHollander, the firm’s eponymous founder and lead advisor.
Joining DeHollander in the transition is Stephanie Donald, operations manager; Vicky Bryant, relationship manager; Michele Newton, client service associate; and Amy Young, administrative associate.
DeHollander’s extensive career, which spans over 25 years according to his BrokerCheck profile, includes past engagements with LPL, Commonwealth and Ameriprise.
The veteran advisor specializes in retirement income planning, wealth management, estate planning, and managing retirement plans for businesses.
Following the acquisition, DeHollander will operate under the Apollon Financial name.
“Rob DeHollander and his team are committed to providing industry-leading service to their clients through a holistic and personalized approach to wealth management, something that the Apollon Financial team holds at the core of what we do,” Michael Dolberg, founding partner and CEO of Apollon Holdings, said in a statement.
Apollon Holdings is the parent company of Apollon Financial and Apollon Wealth Management.
DeHollander expressed enthusiasm about the merger, citing “the opportunity to provide our clients with an even deeper level of support by tapping into a new pool of resources and expertise.”
“We are excited to continue to learn and grow with the Apollon team,” he said.
