Bringing the future into the present so we can do something about it today.
About Us
At Pinnacle Financial, we are on a mission to educate and motivate people to make better financial decisions so they can live better, longer and happier lives.In today’s world, there is no shortage of information about physical and mental well-being – but very few people are talking about financial well-being. We aim to play a part in filling this gap. Financial well-being, in our view, is the ability to do the things you want to do, when you want to do them, with the people who matter most to you – without financial limitations.
We are a family-owned company with over 40 years in business. Initially set up by Sean O'Connor in 1978, Darragh O'Connor has been a driving force behind the business for the past 7 years. Darragh has big ambitions to transform Pinnacle into a nationwide company with the goal of helping as many people as possible take control of their future through sound, professional financial planning.We believe we are unique in the sense that we have built a company based on first class customer service, building long standing relationships and providing tailored, personalised recommendations to everyone we work with. In addition, we are technology geeks and ensure we are keeping up with the most sophisticated software on the market – ensuring better client outcomes.
