About

Pinnacle Wealth Advisors is an independent, SEC‑registered, team‑based investment advisory firm that provides discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, and retirement plan consulting to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients) and to qualified retirement plans. The firm also offers stand‑alone financial planning and a “new investor” program for clients who prefer more limited services.

Pinnacle builds diversified portfolios using individual stocks and bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, SMAs, and, where appropriate, alternative investments and covered‑call option strategies, with allocation and security selection tailored to each client’s investor profile and monitored on an ongoing discretionary basis. The firm frequently uses independent third‑party managers for Separately Managed Accounts, encourages use of a comprehensive web‑based planning tool, and takes tax considerations into account when recommending strategies.

What distinguishes Pinnacle from many peers is its set of adviser affiliations and recent transactions: the firm acquired IMS Capital Management on October 1, 2025 and the IMS‑managed mutual funds (IMSCX and IMSIX), operates an affiliated pooled private investment vehicle (the “Affiliated Fund”) advised by PWA and sponsored by related Fund Management Affiliates, and has maintained temporary dual registrations for personnel during integration. The brochure discloses the resulting conflicts of interest — for example, PWA is deemed to have custody over client assets invested in the Affiliated Fund and shared personnel may receive additional compensation — and describes mitigation measures such as independent audits and client disclosures.

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.

Find your advisor

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
