Pinnacle Financial Partners
From our founding we named our firm Pinnacle Financial Partners because we wanted to stress the fact that we want to be the financial partners for our clients while providing a wide variety of services: banking, investments and trust, mortgage and insurance services to consumers and businesses.
Our philosophy starts with the belief that every person makes a difference and every person deserves a great place to work and a great place to do business. At Pinnacle, making this a reality starts with associates. We only hire experienced people who are not only successful but also a good fit for our special culture. We have been intentional about building a culture where associates are excited to come to work every day, so they in turn take exceptional care of our clients and strive to make a difference in our communities. This ultimately results in long-term shareholder value.

Additional Culture Details
Pinnacle is all about partnership -- partnership between associates, with clients and with our communities. In that vein, ALL non-commissioned associates are eligible for annual cash incentives that are based on firm-wide results as opposed to individual production goals that tend to reward only a few. This reinforces the firm’s mantra that we win as a team and lose as a team.
Pinnacle also reinforces partnership by giving every associate restricted stock upon hire and annually with a satisfactory or better performance review. So every associate is literally an owner in the firm.
Pinnacle is so serious about its culture that the CEO and other senior leaders host a three-day orientation with every new associate to help them understand how and why Pinnacle is unique and understand their role in contributing to the culture. The firm's Knoxville Culture Club, Wellness Champs and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council volunteer their time and talent to help ensure all associates are engaged at high levels. These associates from all levels and functional areas help reinforce and strengthen the culture from the ground up.
