Pinnacle Advisory Group has assembled a veritable all-star team of professional Wealth Managers, with expertise that goes well beyond what you’ll find at most firms. They’ve come to financial planning from a variety of fields: law, accounting, psychology, economics, chemistry — even theater.

While the Wealth Managers work with their own individual clients, they also meet together regularly to discuss specific cases. As a result, the Pinnacle client benefits both from the personal attention of his or her own planner, and from the combined wisdom and experience of the entire team.

Financial Planning magazine labeled him the industry’s “Deep Thinker,” and in 2010, the Financial Planning Association honored him with the Heart of Financial Planning Award — the industry’s greatest recognition. While generally given as a life-time achievement award, Michael won it at the age of 33.

A popular speaker, he is also the co-author of The Annuity Advisor and Tools & Techniques of Retirement Income Planning, and appears regularly in The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, Investment News, the Journal of Financial Planning, Financial Planning magazine, Financial Advisor magazine, Kiplinger, Money, SmartMoney.com, and the Financial Post. In May 2012, the prestigious Journal of Financial Planning named him the publication’s first Practitioner Editor.

With Michael as both a partner and Director of Wealth Management, Pinnacle clients benefit from his cutting edge financial planning research long before the rest of the industry. Our individual Wealth Managers use his work to guide their own planning, and consult with him directly when a client is facing an unusual financial problem.
