Aaron T. Jones is originally from the NY/NJ area, having recently relocated from Washington, D.C., to Tampa, FL. He was the 1989 U.S. Army Honor Guard Soldier of the Year who served as an Assistant Relief Commander for both the Office of the Secretary of Defense’s armed guard detail and The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery.

After separating from the U.S. Army, Aaron began a career in sales and business development that spanned over 25 years within the technology and banking sectors.

Having secured more than $1.6 billion dollars in government task orders throughout his career, Aaron is considered an industry expert who most recently served as the Senior Business Development Executive with LexisNexis Risk Solutions, where he was responsible for their federal civilian practice.

Acting as a financial partner and trusted advisor to his customers has always been Aaron’s passion. Throughout his professional government and commercial banking career, Aaron routinely witnessed a nagging void in lending opportunities for startups and up-and-coming small businesses.

Leveraging his unique experiences and vast networks in the financial and government sectors, Aaron founded Monument Financial, LLC; a full-service finance and electronic payment processing organization.

Monument Financial helps bridge the gap between startups and small businesses in the government contracting world. With his decades of experience and strategic relationships in the industry, Aaron helps broker deals with traditional and non-traditional lenders that others cannot.
