Pinnacle Management Accounting was born out of a deeply personal journey—one marked by challenge, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to holistic well-being. My story began 8 years ago, at the age of 28 when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. As a young mother with two small daughters, the news was devastating. Navigating the complexities of treatment while caring for my family required every ounce of strength I had.

During this journey, I discovered the profound impact that naturopathic and alternative medicine could have on healing and wellness. These approaches were not just supplementary—they became essential parts of my recovery and overall well-being. The practitioners who guided me through holistic treatments (in addition to traditional Western medicine) did more than just support my health and recovery; they ignited a passion within me to help others experience the same benefits.

As I fought through cancer, I also found clarity in my professional path. I knew I wanted to give back to the community that had given so much to me. While continuing to work as a finance professional at Portland’s premier academic hospital and being a mom, I pursued my Certified Management Accountant (CMA) certification with a renewed sense of purpose. My goal was to use my skills to empower naturopathic and healthcare clinics—the very clinics that had played such a crucial role in my life.

Pinnacle Management Accounting was founded with this mission at its core: to provide specialized financial management services that help alternative clinics thrive. I understand the unique challenges these clinics face because I’ve been on the other side—as a patient whose life was transformed by their care - also because I have worked the healthcare industry for the last 16 years. My determination to see these clinics succeed is rooted in personal experience and a deep belief in the power of holistic health.

Today, Pinnacle is more than just an accounting firm; it’s a partner in the success of those who dedicate their lives to healing others through natural and wholistic methods. We bring expertise, transparency, and a heartfelt commitment to every clinic we serve, ensuring they have the financial foundation needed to continue making a difference in the lives of their patients.

Our story is one of resilience, passion, and purpose. It’s about turning challenges into opportunities and using our expertise to support the growth of an industry that truly changes lives.
