Federal Employees
Who We Serve
Federal Employees Welcome!
Pinnacle Benefit Consultants, LLC is a private company based in Boise, Idaho that specializes in working with federal employees. As part of our services, we have been providing benefit workshops to federal agencies across the country since 2009.
The federal benefit system is one of the most complex and comprehensive retirement plans in the country. Every federal employee needs to fully understand the benefits system to ensure they are making wise decisions throughout their federal government career. These decisions can have a positive or negative impact on yourself and your loved ones.
