About Mark Diehl, CPA, CFE
Hi, I’m Mark Diehl, wealth manager and founder of True North Wealth Management in Palmer, Alaska. I help families and business owners protect and grow their wealth with confidence by combining personalized financial guidance with a deep understanding of the tax code.My path to wealth management is grounded in my experience as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE). I hold both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in Accounting from Western Governors University, and I was appointed in June 2023 to serve on the Alaska State Board of Public Accountancy. Earlier in my career, I worked as a Minnesota state tax auditor, which gave me firsthand insight into how tax rules impact individuals and businesses.
That experience shapes how I serve my wealth management clients today. I don’t just focus on investments, I look at the full picture, helping you make smarter financial decisions, minimize your tax burden, and keep more of what you earn. Your financial journey is unique, and my goal is to act as your compass, guiding you in the right direction and helping you stay on track through every stage of life.
In addition to my work at True North Wealth Management, I founded Diehl CPA to support individuals and business owners with strategic tax planning and tax preparation. This work reinforces my ability to identify opportunities to optimize cash flow, take advantage of tax strategies, and improve overall financial efficiency, insights that directly benefit my wealth management clients.
By bringing together wealth management and CPA expertise, I’m able to offer a more integrated approach, helping you align your investments, tax strategy, and financial decisions so everything works together toward your long-term goals.

We Want Your Voice to be Heard
Wealthtender exists to help people discover trusted and authentic financial professionals and educators who may be a good fit based on their unique needs and circumstances.
Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.
The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.
Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.
