About
Paragon Financial Services works with individual clients (including high-net-worth households) as well as pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and business entities. The firm provides portfolio management, financial planning, pension consulting, advisory consulting, and sub-advisory services tailored to each client.
Paragon offers both discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management and may implement customized or model-based strategies that draw on fundamental and technical analysis as well as tactical, quantitatively informed allocations; portfolios are monitored and rebalanced on an ongoing basis. The firm also coordinates estate planning via Encore Estate Plans and tax preparation/planning through its affiliate Paragon Tax Strategy (with access to CPAs at United Cloud Partners Services), while noting it does not provide legal or tax advice directly.
What is noteworthy about Paragon compared to many peers is its role as a wrap fee program sponsor and its formal affiliation with tax and estate coordination providers, arrangements that are relatively uncommon among similarly supported firms. The brochure also discloses that trades are executed through LPL Financial and that some advisors are dually registered as LPL representatives and licensed insurance agents, relationships the firm identifies as potential conflicts of interest for clients to consider.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
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. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
