About Zach S. Paul
I am a Financial Advisor at Morgan Stanley. I have 10 years of experience in the financial services industry and have been with the firm since 2018.
In 2021, I became a partner of The Fleischer Group because I believe that each client should have the ability and benefits of working with a team. In doing this, I have been able to professionally grow in assisting countless individuals in mapping out their financial future for themselves and for those they most care about. Our clients are our priority, and our team always aims to take the stress of life's financial planning, especially for one's retirement, off your plate. My intention is to consistently catalyze one's journey towards achieving their own personal financial goals and freedom.
I graduated from Michigan State University, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business, majoring in Finance, and currently hold multiple licenses. These licenses include the General Securities Representative License (Series 7), NASAA Uniform Combined State Law License (Series 66), Uniform Securities Agent License (Series 63), Resident Producer: Accident and Health, Life Insurance and Variable Annuities Licenses, and a National Mortgage License. I have also been named to Morgan Stanley’s prestigious Pacesetter’s club in the years of 2020, 2021, and 2022.
My wife Morgan and I, currently reside in Birmingham, Michigan. I am a member of Orchard Lake Country Club. When I’m not at work I enjoy playing golf, hockey, working out, and being with family and friends.

1When Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, its affiliates and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors (collectively, “Morgan Stanley”) provide “investment advice” regarding a retirement or welfare benefit plan account, an individual retirement account or a Coverdell education savings account (“Retirement Account”), Morgan Stanley is a “fiduciary” as those terms are defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and/or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as applicable. When Morgan Stanley provides investment education, takes orders on an unsolicited basis or otherwise does not provide “investment advice”, Morgan Stanley will not be considered a “fiduciary” under ERISA and/or the Code. For more information regarding Morgan Stanley’s role with respect to a Retirement Account, please visit www.morganstanley.com/disclosures/dol. Tax laws are complex and subject to change. Morgan Stanley does not provide tax or legal advice. Individuals are encouraged to consult their tax and legal advisors (a) before establishing a Retirement Account, and (b) regarding any potential tax, ERISA and related consequences of any investments or other transactions made with respect to a Retirement Account. Individuals should consult their tax advisor for matters involving taxation and tax planning and their attorney for matters involving trust and estate planning, charitable giving, philanthropic planning and other legal matters.
