About

Pinnacle Investment Advisors provides personalized financial planning and investment management to individuals, pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and small businesses, working with both discretionary and non‑discretionary accounts. The firm also offers limited‑scope hourly planning and manages a private pooled investment vehicle alongside traditional advisory relationships.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes strategic asset allocation implemented with a core‑and‑satellite framework, using passively managed index funds and ETFs as core holdings while adding active managers or individual securities where appropriate. Clients execute written investment policy statements, may impose restrictions on investments, and receive periodic portfolio reviews with trades typically executed through discount brokers under limited trading authorization.

Pinnacle is distinctive for its operational ties to the accounting profession—its advisors are employed with an affiliated CPA/consulting firm—and for operating as a licensed insurance agency, with advisors holding insurance licenses and accepting commissions on insurance products when recommended. The firm also operates a pooled annuity fund in which it has a controlling interest and receives a share of the fund’s interest income; this arrangement and potential conflicts are disclosed to clients and the pooled vehicle is subject to independent audit procedures.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

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. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
