The new branch is located in Baton Rouge and is led by financial advisor Emily Domingue, who recently joined JHS from Morgan Stanley Wealth Management .

Eileen Canady, vice president of strategic development at JHS Capital Holdings, said the new office is part of the firm’s strategic expansion, which involves both opening new branches and adding advisors.

Illustrating this, last week JHS hired Kelly Connelly as a financial advisor and first vice president of investments at its new office in Sebring, FL.

Just days later, the firm appointed Allison Hanna as a financial advisor in Portland, OR. Referring to this, Scott Bendert, president and chief executive, said the firm remained focused on its plan to grow via acquisitions, recruiting and internal business expansion.

Domingue specializes in providing 401 plan guidance for small- and mid-sized companies and assistance with education savings plans for local families.

In the past Domingue has helped entrepreneurs launch their own companies, assisting them in the areas of finance, marketing, staffing, banking, planning, accounting and tax reporting during their companies’ developmental and early operating phases.

The new Baton Rouge office is located at 10935 Perkins Road, Suite D.
