Former Atlas Insurance Management business development manager, Brian Flinchum, has re-joined the captive industry by starting his own consulting company, based out of Jacksonville, Florida.
Flinchum is the owner and president of Flinchum Captive Consulting, which aims to provide “feasibility advice to new captive formations and review established alternative risk programmes”.
After several roles in the insurance and reinsurance sector, Flinchum left the captive space in 2017 to pursue a series of ventures in the retail and property markets and, according to his LinkedIn, remains a managing director of Flinchum Properties, which operates out of Brunswick, Georgia.
According to Flinchum, at his most recent captive-focused role with Atlas between 2014 and 2017, he was a consultant to small to mid-sized businesses, that made the IRC 831(b) election.
Before that he served as a division assistant vice-president at Artex Risk Solutions from 2009 until he joined Atlas.
While there, Flinchum says he spent his time marketing a new captive niche for the fourth largest property and casualty brokerage and he formed and sold more than 100 new captives over a four-year period.
Elsewhere, Flinchum also brings experience from earlier roles including headed the captive sales at Wilmington Trust and account executive for AIG Insurance Management Services.
As part of his varied insurance and reinsurance experience, which began in 2002, Flinchum boasts experience in a wide variety of US captive domiciles, according to his CPA Academy bio.
