Why Join Pinnacle?
Founded by two financial advisors searching for a better way than their experience at a global wirehouse, Pinnacle Investments has grown to become one of the largest dually registered Broker-Dealers and Registered Investment Advisors in our region. Pinnacle offers a full range of products and services to support Advisors including rep-managed discretionary accounts (fee-based), third-party advisory accounts, employer-sponsored retirement plans, financial planning, lending, and insurance in addition to traditional securities brokerage products (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, UITs).
As an employee-owned company, the Pinnacle management team is comprised of practicing Financial Advisors who understand the hard work you’ve put into building your brand. That’s why we give you the option to keep your identity or share in our branding. We are happy to support your brand in the same way we’d be proud to have you share our name.
Since our inception, Pinnacle has repeatedly delivered on our commitment to be a supportive partner for our advisors. Whether you’re moving from a small firm or a major wirehouse, our experienced and efficient transition team will ensure your business hits the ground running.

Hear From Our Team
“I made my best career move by joining PI in 2009. After years of establishing my practice at a wirehouse, I felt unappreciated and stale. The working environment and support I have at PI allowed me to expand my practice in an environment that fosters creativity and freedom. I never envisioned I’d be this happy coming to work every day!”
Thomas J. Thompson
Financial Advisor, Syracuse, NY
“I love that we have everything we need to run our business in a profitable way. The culture of the company is very positive, you know the desire of management is to see everyone be successful and for our clients to be happy. This is definitely a place to have the support you need to succeed.”
Eileen L. Sienkiewicz
Financial Advisor, Syracuse, NY
“Pinnacle Investments was the opportunity I had always been looking for. Having spent years at a Fortune 500 Company, I was looking for an employer that’d give me the means to determine my own career ceiling. Pinnacle saw that I was self-motivated and hungry to grow, and was willing to bring me in and empower me to do so. In a little over 3 years, I’ve become fully licensed, joined an established team of Advisors, and helped across multiple lines of business that have allowed me to grow at a rate of my determining.”
