Professional History
Paul Panabaker merged his practice with Davis Martindale in 1995. He conceived and developed the now registered trademarked “Accountants with personality!”, which has become a signature slogan for the Firm and its culture.
Known for his practical and understandable financial planning and tax advice, he has assisted many Baby Boomers and seniors with their retirement and estate planning.
As a Senior partner and the first Managing Partner of the firm, Paul’s focus has always been on marketing and the overall business operations of Davis Martindale.
He remains actively involved with DFK International and has numerous business contacts throughout the world. The Firm’s strong relationship with DFK International was particularly recognized in 2014 and again in 2023, when Davis Martindale was awarded DFK Firm of the Year for the Americas Region and DFK International Firm of the Year, respectively.
