About Financial Concepts
35+ Years of Experience
Financial Planning in Columbus, Mississippi
The founder of Financial Concepts, Rhonda Ferguson, established the firm in 1988. As a result of her fond memories of living near the zoo and her love of giraffes, our legal business name is Giraffes, Inc., doing business as Financial Concepts. In January 2006, Scott Ferguson, Rhonda’s son, joined the firm and became the CEO and Principal Planner. As Rhonda’s successor, Scott is dedicated to upholding our commitment to delivering the highest quality service, advice, and resources our clients need to make informed financial decisions.
