About
Pinnacle Financial Group LLC is a fee‑only registered investment adviser that manages roughly $673 million for about 390 clients, serving individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations, and other business entities. The firm offers personalized financial planning and both discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management, and it advises on assets maintained outside a primary custodian such as variable life insurance and annuity contracts, employer‑sponsored retirement plans, and 529 college‑savings plans.
The firm’s investment process draws on a mix of fundamental, factor, optimization and quantitative methods alongside modern portfolio theory to construct and rebalance portfolios tailored to client goals and risk tolerances, and it may recommend or retain third‑party sub‑advisers to manage portions of client accounts. Financial planning is delivered in a modular, consultative format beginning with a complimentary initial consultation and follow‑up meetings as needed; the firm may waive or offset planning fees for clients who engage its investment management services.
Pinnacle is notable for its ownership and governance structure—each of two separate single‑member LLCs (Albatross41, LLC and ThreePillars Assets, LLC) owns 50% of the firm and managing members are disclosed—and for its long operating history dating back to 1989. The brochure also discloses relationships with major custodians (Schwab and Fidelity) that provide institutional services and benefits to the firm, and the firm does not accept performance‑based fees or vote client proxies (clients receive proxy materials directly from their custodians).

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
