Overview

Paratus Financial, Inc. is an independent registered investment adviser focused on financial planning and portfolio management for individuals, families and small businesses, with the capability to select and oversee third‑party advisers. Founded and SEC‑registered in 2005 and owned by an individual, the firm operates as a capital allocator and charges clients on hourly and fixed‑fee bases rather than a pure asset‑based fee schedule. Its practice emphasizes fixed‑income solutions, with a particularly large allocation to state and local (municipal) bonds. Service lines emphasize personalized planning and discretionary/non‑discretionary portfolio implementation for high‑net‑worth households and select institutional relationships. Paratus Financial, Inc. was named a Top RIA Firms to Watch by investor.com in 2020, reflecting external recognition of its platform and growth during that period.
