About

Paragon Financial Advisors serves a mix of individual and high‑net‑worth clients as well as institutional clients such as pensions, profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations, and business entities. The firm provides discretionary portfolio management, financial planning and consulting, selection of third‑party sub‑advisers, and retirement plan (including 401(k)) advisory services under written investment advisory agreements.

The firm’s investment process centers on strategic asset allocation and long‑term, diversified portfolios constructed from mutual funds, ETFs, individual equities and fixed income, and alternative vehicles including interval, tender‑offer, and limited‑partnership funds; portfolios are monitored and systematically rebalanced with the option for clients to impose written restrictions. Paragon also manages held‑away participant accounts via a third‑party platform, provides ongoing supervisory services, and serves as a fiduciary when advising retirement accounts under ERISA/IRC rules.

Compared with many peers, Paragon documents client advice in recap memos or retirement‑projection reports rather than a formal written plan for all engagements, and it provides periodic performance reports and other client communications as part of its reporting process. The brochure also notes operational details that are less common for team firms — including use of AI tools for administrative purposes, a formal trade‑error policy that describes client make‑whole procedures and treatment of gains, and references to third‑party ratings and external information sources on its website and SEC adviser profile.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
