Paradigm’s advanced planning expertise and plans to hire additional attorneys and accounts will be used to accelerate growth and to create a new “hub” in St. Louis that will provide estate planning, tax planning and tax preparation services for Creative Planning clients in the Midwest, the company said in a release.
Jim Reding, the owner of Paradigm, has become an equity partner with Creative Planning and he will serve as managing director of the St. Louis office.
