The Pinnacle PAC promise:

• Great Turn Around
• Accessibility
• Fixed Pricing

We believe that accounting is about much more than the numbers, and that to grow local businesses and economies, we must support and encourage culture and community.

Pinnacle PAC wants to help our community prosper economically through successful enterprise and spiritually through artistic endeavour.  We believe our own business can contribute to the economic and social well-being of our community by nurturing start-up enterprises, coaching existing businesses, providing low-cost services to non-profits, offering secure, well-paid and meaningful work to our team members, setting a good example of best practices and technological innovation and supporting local artists and food providers.

Our passion at Pinnacle PAC is helping people succeed. Our clients tell us they value our relationship because we translate technical matters into plain English they can understand and use. We believe the accountant should be a  coach, cheerleader and peer rather than simply the scorekeeper. We believe professionals should charge a fair price for the value provided to the client and that value is not a function of time spent. We believe an accounting office can be a fun and creative place for the team members and an open and non-threatening environment for clients.

A successful enterprise is one that exists to serve the objectives of the proprietor. Too often, the proprietor ends up chained to her own business with a lunatic for a boss. How does this happen? Can it be avoided? Can it be changed? We can help small business owners to identify their personal objectives and then take action to achieve them through the operation of their businesses.

We want to empower small business owners to help themselves – to understand their business, understand their financial position, measure their growth, interpret their financial results, build their operating systems, improve their teams and make themselves better leaders and community members to the enrichment of our whole region.

PAIGE LENNOX RN, BSN

Patient Advocate/ Healthcare Navigator

The healthcare system is overstretched and truth be told sometimes people fall through the cracks.

Everyone has heard stories of people who get lost in the system.

Have you ever wondered… is there a way to stop this from happening?

That is why CHAI exists.

CHAI stands for Canadian Health Advocates Inc. and represents a national network of Health Advocates.

Health Advocates – also known as Patient Advocates- navigate the healthcare system with patients and caregivers so that people don’t fall through the cracks.

CHAI Advocates are professionals with extensive nursing, paramedicine, social work or medical backgrounds.

Our Advocates have deep experience and expertise in the Canadian healthcare system, so we know and understand its intricate workings.

We know what questions to ask and whom to ask. As a result, we are uniquely positioned to help people navigate an often confusing system.

Every patient deserves to receive the best possible care.

My passion for Advocacy is a direct result of professional and personal experience.

For 25 years I witnessed how patient care is affected by stretched resources and overworked healthcare professionals. I should know. I was one of them.

When my own mother was diagnosed with a terminal illness everything became more obvious. As a result of that experience I realized thousands of canadians experience this every day… and who is there to help them?

Again, this is why CHAI exists.

So specifically how do we help?

It breaks down into practical support, emotional support and empowerment.

Here are a few examples:

Practical Support

• Attending doctors appointments
• Coaching about your current condition, medical jargon, Advance Care Planning
• Support with complicated paperwork- for example CPP Disability Forms
• Helping with Discharge Planning from hospital to home or residential care

Emotional Support can take the form of…

• Reducing patient & caregiver stress
• Making sure the patient is heard

CHAI helps Empower Patients & Caregivers

• For example: supporting patients to advocate for themselves

CHAI also supports your doctors in providing you great care.

Our overstretched healthcare system often leaves doctors short of time and resources.

Hospital capacity in Canada is 125%- that means there are 5 people for every 4 beds in the Canadian healthcare system. And the situation is only going to get worse.

Baby Boomers- the largest cohort in human history peaks in 5 years. So who knows how many people will be needing those 4 beds!

So having a Health Advocates in your corner could make all the difference.

Regardless of the industry or profession, retirement comes to all of us. Let me help you and your employees who are entering into their retirement journey. Apart from the usual retirement office party or dinner, it is important to start preparing by: creating a plan & vision about what you or they want in their retirement, Help them to set goals, think about what they want to do when they retire. Writing this plan down now can help with downsizing, financial planning and creating a plan for the next 30 years.
