Increased Revenue and Evidence-Based Financial Decision Making for Naturopathic Clinic

The number one benefit I have received in my business since working Rising Oak Advisory is not only have we increased our revenue year over year but we have a clear vision, a clear plan and we make evidence based decisions every single month. I'm Dr. Elena Zinkov. Founder of Proactive Health and Naturopathic Clinic in Bellevue, Washington and I've been practicing naturopathic medicine for over a decade. Before working with Stanislav from Rising Oak Advisory, I felt like my business did not have a clear vision or a clear plan in terms of where we were, where we were headed and how we could best serve our community. The number one reason why I at first did not hire Rising Oak Advisory was because of the cost and then I quickly realized that it was too costly not to hire Rising Oak. Since implementing many of the strategies that I have adapted in my business in working with Rising Oak, I feel that not only am I more confident as a business leader but I can manage my team better. I am a better leader, a better physician and I feel confident going into the next chapter of my business. One of the things that I have personally struggled as a business owner is when I want to bring an idea to life or a product or a new service to the market, I don't know all the details. I may not understand the cost of bringing the product or service to the market and the best way to approach this. Stanislav is really good in bringing clarity and also in reducing stress when it comes to bringing any service or product to market and in helping manage any financial risk that it may involve. One of the things that I really enjoy about working with Stanislav and something that surprised me was his ability to bring numbers to life. So he doesn't just look at budgets or numbers, he really creates a story behind the numbers. In working with Stanislav and Rising Oak Advisory, I always feel taken care of. If there's a question or a problem that I'm dealing with, I don't have to wait until our next meeting to talk about it. If it's something urgent, I can contact Stanislav right away and he's extremely accommodating and is there when you need him. One of the biggest advice that I give to my colleagues and fellow business owners is that you don't have to do this alone. It can feel like so much where you're juggling everyday business problems trying to find solutions and it's so important to find an expert whom you trust and can delegate a lot of this complex financial data and decision making and I find that sometimes we wait too long to make this decision and I really encourage those who are needing any financial advice or strategy in their business to start sooner than later because it is so much more work if you try to do this on your own when you have a solution right in front of you.
