On Your Own But Not Alone.

Premier Network of Financial Advisors

Since 1999, Premier Network has served as a trusted OSJ with Cambridge Investment Research, Inc., helping financial professionals achieve independence without losing support.

We believe autonomy and community aren’t opposites. Our advisors run their own businesses with full independence; backed by a team that knows their name, values their goals, and treats every detail like it matters, because it does.

On your own but not alone.
That’s independence with confidence.

At Premier Network,

Trust isn’t a tagline. It’s the way we operate.

Our culture is built on four commitments:

Authenticity. We show up honestly and communicate openly, because partnership starts with real connection.

Competency. Our advisors and staff bring deep expertise, thoughtful guidance, and consistent follow-through.

Reliability. We do what we say we’ll do. Every time. With precision, care, and accountability.

Trust. The foundation of independence with confidence.

WHO WE SERVE

We support a wide spectrum of financial professionals.

Whatever your model, our white-glove back-office team ensures you never have to figure things out solo.

Premier Network was founded by Bob Pugliese and Traci Shughart with one belief:

Independence should last.

Today, that vision continues under the leadership of Traci Shughart, a proud woman business owner, and Sebastian Sullivan, a next-generation partner blending deep industry experience with modern insight.

With branch managers and OSJ designees spanning generations, Premier is built for endurance, not just growth.
