La Vista, NE, September 01, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Financial advisor Gregory O’Donnell of O’Donnell Financial Group in Larkspur, Calif., has become a registered representative with independent broker-dealer Securities America Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services Inc. (NYSE MKT: LTS).

O’Donnell Financial Group, which has $1.425 million in annual revenue and $137 million in client assets, began as a real estate and mortgage broker in 1987, before evolving naturally into the securities and insurance fields. A believer in the strength of quality marketing, O’Donnell Financial Group began advertising on the radio in 1999, eventually launching their own radio show, Money Matters, in 2002. The radio show is a key driver of the firm’s identity and runs two-hours, live, every Saturday at noon in the San Francisco Bay area.

“It was important to partner with an experienced leader in the broker-dealer world to provide us the support and product offerings we require to continue to grow and expand our business,” O’Donnell said. “As a leading broker-dealer in the industry, Securities America is a known entity that I can trust to support my endeavors.”

In just the first few weeks since joining Securities America, O’Donnell said he has been impressed by the support he has received and pleased to learn about new products and services available to help aid the growth of his practice.

“We employ a holistic planning method that recognizes people need more than just investment advice,” O’Donnell said. “We can help our clients with insurance, trusts, mortgages, college financing and, of course, investments and retirement planning. And we are willing to discuss financial questions and solutions without regard to account size.”

“With such a strong footprint in the San Francisco area, and a broad reach with their unique radio show, we are excited to welcome Greg O’Donnell and his practice to the Securities America family,” said Gregg Johnson, senior vice president of branch office development and acquisitions. “We look forward to the opportunity to help Greg and his group with their recruiting efforts by providing our extensive technology, practice management and business growth resources.”
