Timor-Leste is young, ambitious and growing, but for years its businesses had to choose between firms that knew the local rules and firms that worked the modern way. Rarely both.

Pinnacle exists to close that gap. Led by a CPA Australia certified partner, we brought modern cloud accounting to businesses across Timor-Leste, and built a team that can take a business from its first registration through to board-level advice, all on tools that keep the numbers live.

Today we work with hospitality groups, NGOs, traders, construction firms and foreign investors entering the market. What they share is a wish to spend less time worrying about compliance and more time building, and a partner who treats their business as seriously as they do.

What we stand for

Four things we will not compromise on

Cloud-first, by conviction

We have specialised in cloud accounting from the start. We still believe current numbers beat tidy ones, and we build every client around that.

Partners, not preparers

We are not here to file a form and disappear. We stay close to the business, flag what is coming and help with the decisions between the deadlines.

Local depth, global standard

We pair an honest understanding of how business works in Timor-Leste with the standards of CPA Australia, ISCA and the CFA Institute.

Plain dealing

Clear advice, clear pricing and clear answers. If something is not in your interest, we will tell you, even when it is not in ours.
