Evan Shorten is a Certified Financial Planner professional and member of the Financial Planning Association with over twenty-five years of experience working in the financial services industry. Before founding Paragon Financial Partners, he spent over eleven years as Vice President with Fidelity Investments in Century City California where he worked with wealthy families, individuals and entrepreneurs managing up to $1.96 billion in AUM. Realizing he wanted to work with clients in a truly independent capacity as a fiduciary responsible for his clients’ success, he founded Paragon Financial Partners, Inc. in 2009.
Shorten takes a holistic approach when working with clients and goes well beyond the typical financial planning duties. Rarely do financial advisors go beyond the responsibilities of portfolio construction and retirement planning. What makes Shorten and his practice unique is that he provides a white glove service experience tailored to each client’s specific needs. He has helped clients navigate divorce, negotiate large asset purchases and coached numerous clients with their professional and entrepreneurial goals.
