About Peak Business Consultants
Since 2004 Peak has been using standard best practices in financial recordkeeping, working in conjunction with their customers, CPA’s, and tax professionals alike. At Peak, our objectives are simple. We seek to:
- ensure that our clients remain continuously in touch with the fiscal health of each aspect of their business
- are supported in the many demands of managing a varied workforce
- are provided with both the tools and the accurate financial data they need to maintain their focus on running the business that they love
Our firm is both bonded and insured and we pride ourselves on strict client confidentiality and professionalism. This allows us to remain a valuable resource for medical, legal, and financial clients who are held to strict regulations and reporting requirements.
Our clients span many industries to include professional offices, architects, landscapers & contractors, IT firms, medical groups, nonprofits, legal offices, and veterinary practices (just to name a few!)
The Peak Team

Maki Pombo
Owner
As the owner of Peak Business Consultants, Maki Pombo is deeply committed to the mission, values, and clients of the firm. With over 17 years of experience, Maki continually strives to do more than manage the needs of customers; she endeavors to see Peak’s Consultants become valued partners to each of their clients and takes great pride in seeing financial successes at every stage of growth. Maki took over as the leader of Peak in 2006, shortly after completing her Masters in Business Administration degree from the Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics at UNH. Since that time she has continued to build the business with the support of her talented team. Over the years, Maki has worked to both deepen the level of Peak’s client service offerings as well as diversify Peak’s client base.
When she is not helping her clients, Maki enjoys outdoor adventuring of all kinds with her husband Matt, daughter Maya, and dogs Ruby & Leroy.
