About

Patton Albertson Miller Group (PAM Group) is a fee-only wealth management and financial planning firm that serves affluent individuals and families, pension and profit‑sharing plans, and charitable organizations. The firm offers comprehensive services including investment management, financial planning, trust and fiduciary services, cash‑flow and tax planning, and project‑based consulting such as business succession and real estate transaction support.

PAM Group provides discretionary portfolio management using model allocations and individualized investment policies, and it reviews client portfolios at least annually while allowing client‑imposed restrictions. For accredited or otherwise appropriate clients it offers access to alternative investments (hedge funds, private equity, structured notes) and uses third‑party tools such as BlackRock’s Custom Model Solutions to support its model construction and risk analytics.

Compared with many peers, PAM Group operates as an indirect, wholly‑owned subsidiary of Focus Financial Partners and participates in a network of Focus affiliates that include other registered advisers, broker‑dealers and pension consultants, a structure the firm discloses as creating certain operational and referral relationships. The firm also maintains a bifurcated trust model through Provident Fiduciary Services and third‑party trustees, offers cash management via Flourish, provides access to private fund platforms including CAIS and iCapital, and disclosed the 2025 acquisition of Colony Capital accounts—features that make its service ecosystem and product access broader than typical for similarly sized team firms.

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.

Find your advisor

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
