Perigon is a leading destination for growth-minded, entrepreneurial advisors and teams — they offer advisors maximum autonomy and a voice at a firm that combines a collaborative, small-company culture with the benefits, resources, and ecosystem of a sophisticated, large-scale organization. Perigon seeks partners who have the desire to divest the majority of non-client-facing functions while retaining control over the majority of the client experience (planning and investment recommendations). The firm has internal resources that partners can leverage (central planning, practice management, organic growth initiatives, etc.), but it does not mandate partners to utilize these components of the offer.
