Who We Are

Jon King, Principal and founder of Pegasus financial Solutions, brings over 30 years of experience in financial analysis, problem solving and insight to your personal financial planning needs.  He began his business career in the headquarters of a Fortune 50 multinational company.  Over a fifteen year span, he held various financial positions of increasing responsibility.   He was responsible for negotiating billions of dollars in corporate credit facilities, managing foreign currency exposure, arranging world-wide insurance coverage and settling large claims with insurers.
 
Service on the Board of an insurance company owned by the world's largest oil and gas companies led to a job change and a senior management position in Bermuda.  There he served as Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of a mutual casualty insurance company. He later was named President and CEO of three related mutual insurance companies owned by the petroleum industry.  Collectively, these companies insured more than a trillion dollars in assets.  Responsibilities as CEO included oversight of an investment portfolio of almost four billion dollars.
 
After years of working overseas, Jon retired early and he and his family relocated to their favorite city – Austin, Texas. He soon missed the personal contact and intellectual challenge of the business world and decided to start his own company.  A CPA since 1977, he went back to school to upgrade and broaden his skills into full spectrum personal financial planning.  He successfully passed the rigorous and comprehensive two day CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ examination in 2004 and was awarded the right to use the CFP® Mark after completing the requisite experience requirement.  He was also awarded the Personal Financial Specialist (PFS) designation by the AICPA. 
 
In 2004, Jon formed Pegasus Financial Solutions. The company is a Registered Investment Advisor in the State of Texas. Jon is active in many professional organizations including:

He has also been actively involved  in charitable and community events and has served on the board of directors of several insurance companies.   
 
Jon and his family live in Dripping Springs, Texas, located a short distance from Austin in the beautiful and rustic Texas Hill Country.  His interests include sailing, SCUBA diving, hiking, downhill skiing, and astronomy.  He and his spouse also enjoy reading, the many cultural and community events offered by Austin, family events and eating great Mexican food.
