The Women of We Rise Business Solutions

Hello , My name is Candace Wright and I bring over 15 years of Corporate Accounting experience to the organization. I developed a love for Accounting concepts, policies and procedures during my high school years. I furthered my education at Temple University, Fox School of Business, Accounting Major. Throughout my professional career, I have always emerged as a leader and huge advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I). As a graduate of the Urban League of Philadelphia Leadership Forum, I continue to exhibit my dedication for helping others achieve their financial goals through information, inspiration, and guidance. I am currently an Accounting Manager for Public Health Management Corporation (PHMC) In this role, I am responsible for all Fiscal Operations for the Anti-Violence Community Partnership Grants; $23 Million and 75+ grantees in FY24.

I am also a partner among a group of real estate investors. As United Revitalization Partners we strive to uplift our communities, one property at a time.

In addition to my professional and entrepreneurial pursuits, I am blessed with a loving blended family that includes my husband, two biological sons and step children. As a first-generation college graduate, I lead the way as a trailblazer who defies the odds and paves the way for future generations. Growing up in North Philadelphia exposed me to the harsh realities of violence and adversity at a young age. Witnessing the impact of such violence on my community fueled a deep passion within me to make a positive difference. My personal experiences have shaped my commitment to serving others and driving change in communities that face similar challenges. As an active participant in various philanthropic activities, I have been able to leverage my skills to provide a helping hand, fostering an environment where youth and community members can thrive.
