Our Story
When you walk into a Pinnacle office, it doesn’t feel like any other bank, and that’s by design. 
Pinnacle was founded in Nashville, TN, in 2000 to break the traditional mold and create an award-winning workplace that would attract and retain the best, most experienced financial services professionals. The founders believed that associates who love their jobs and enjoy work-life balance would naturally give their very best to clients. Read more about the Pinnacle story.

Our Approach
Another differentiator for Pinnacle: The firm doesn’t promote a sales culture or push products. Pinnacle financial advisors offer wisdom instead. They give clear information to clients about their options and guidance for improving financial wellness and growing their businesses. Read more about how our associates are empowered to serve clients' best interests.

Our Commitment to Service
When you call, you get a person; when you need a decision, it’s made locally. Some say these are their favorite things about Pinnacle. Clients don’t have to repeat themselves for an automated phone menu because we’ve never used one, and our teams have autonomy to do what’s right and make most decisions locally. See what our clients say about their experiences at Pinnacle.

Our Success
Pinnacle’s story is extraordinary. The firm began operations in a single location in downtown Nashville, TN, in October 2000 and has since grown to be the second-largest bank holding company headquartered in Tennessee. Pinnacle operates in several primarily urban markets across the Southeast. Meet our firm's leaders and Board of Directors.
