Creating Wealth
Through Client Success

We believe, like most successful people, owning a business is the most efficient way to create wealth. However, we also know how hard it is to make the decision to leave a major firm not knowing if you’ll have the necessary resources to support your clients and grow your business. While technology allows most firms to offer similar tools and platforms how do you decide on which firm is the firm for your career?

Why Pinnacle is Right For You

Multi-Company Ownership Opportunity

  • Equity in the parent company
  • An added benefit on top of your book of clients

One-of-a-Kind Business Model

  • Broker-Dealer / RIA / Insurance / PEO
  • Multiple business lines give you more opportunities to make money while reducing competition
  • Enables you to provide more services to your clients all under one roof

Advisor Run Firm

  • Management are still advisors themselves and “walk in your shoes” every day
  • Clients first, advisors second, firm third
  • Flexibility to invest and run your practice your way

The Benefits are Endless

In 2015, Pinnacle started its own Professional Employer Organization (PEO) called Pinnacle Employee Services (PES). A PEO is principally a payroll, Human Resources, and benefits provider that is a way for businesses to comply with ever-increasing and burdensome regulations that are constantly changing. By streamlining these processes, PES is able to provide services not readily available to small businesses ultimately saving them money and time. The perfect union between our Broker-Dealer/RIA and PEO are energized by one another and, as any good team, is unstoppable. They grow organically and provide guidance and opportunities that couldn’t happen without each other.

“Pinnacle has allowed me to provide my client’s the attention and professional guidance to navigate their way to financial independence more so than any employer that I’ve ever worked for. After 11 years at Pinnacle I would never entertain returning to a regional firm or wirehouse again.”

Rich Green
Financial Advisor, Syracuse, NY

“Pinnacle enables my client-first investment approach. From its fee and risk transparency to its support for global investments, I have the support and confidence I need to provide my clients with the service they deserve.”

Rosalie Schlaen, CFP®, CIMA®, CRPC®
First Vice President – Investments, International Client Advisor, Miami, FL

“After working at a wirehouse for 25 years, moving to Pinnacle was the best decision of my career. From day one, I was asked ‘what can we do to help you grow your business.’ This never happened at my old firm. You feel like we are all on the same page. What’s best for my clients always comes first.”
