"I am so grateful for everything you do for the Academy members Martine. 

I've been implementing the fixed prices and proposals strategy over the past few months and what a difference that's made to my business (and my mental health!). The fixed pricing and proposals learnings got me out of a few less than desirable situations and helped me put really strong processes in place to ensure I only take on clients that were the right fit for my business.

I can only say how amazing it's been cutting a lot of the dead wood. I've taken on some lovely new clients who have engaged my services since implementing the proposals etc - many have chosen a higher level than I would have expected. My existing clients have also surprised the heck of me! Some of those have also chosen a higher level than I expected.

I'm no longer chasing money, I know what my revenue is going to be each month and the sense of control over my business is indescribable. The pressure is off beyond what I could have ever expected.  I know for a lot of people it's uncomfortable going through this process, but if I could only bottle the level of confidence this has given me and show them what it feels like to have the weight taken off, I'd do so in a heartbeat.

Thank you so much for everything you do for your members Martine. The value you bring is absolutely priceless!"

"Thank you again Martine. Everyone in our industry needs to jump on the band wagon of this pricing method!

Lots of knowledge bombs, especially on how to have those value add discussions with existing clients.  It was like a beacon going off in my head. 

I've finally realised that my clients are happy to pay for my knowledge, not just my time.

I think I just needed that support and I have definitely found it in you & the Academy!

“Martine has been instrumental in my journey into the bookkeeping profession, particularly through her exceptional mentoring and support offered via the Academy. As someone setting up my own business in the industry, I faced numerous challenges and uncertainties. Martine's guidance provided not only the practical skills necessary to succeed, but also the confidence and clarity that are invaluable to any new business owner. 

Through her mentorship, I gained greater capacity to manage my time effectively, allowing me to focus on growing my business. The resources she provided through the Academy, have contributed significantly to improving my workflow and increasing my revenue. Perhaps most importantly, the community Martine fosters within the Academy has been a source of encouragement and support, creating an environment where I feel connected and can turn to for support. 

Thanks to Martine, I now have commenced the journey to establishing a new business, a strong foundation of knowledge, and the confidence to face the future.”

“Martine and the Academy have been instrumental in the success of my bookkeeping practice. When I first started, I sought professional guidance to run my business effectively, and Martine’s expertise was exactly what I needed. Having admired her at MYOB conferences, I was thrilled to join the Academy and begin coaching with her. 

Martine’s coaching helped me implement Value-Based Pricing, transforming my business model. Now, I have consistent, recurring income, which has significantly boosted my practice's profitability. My clients are happier too, with no more hourly billing or awkward invoice conversations. Without Martine's guidance, I wouldn't have reached this level of success so early on. 

Through some hard lessons, Martine also taught me the importance of scoping my fees properly, which has been a game-changer for onboarding new clients. This deeper understanding has saved my practice countless hours of unbilled time. 

One of the best parts about working with Martine is her ongoing support. Her webinars, Q&A sessions, and the extensive resources available through the Academy portal are invaluable. Her knowledge of the industry is exceptional, and as someone just two years into my own practice, it's reassuring to know I have so much more to learn from her. 

Martine is supportive, honest, and calm in her approach. She’s built a wonderful community of professional bookkeepers, and I’m grateful to be part of it. Thank you so much for your support.”
