Let's build a thriving bookkeeping community together.
I love connecting with fellow bookkeepers, and am fortunate to have the opportunity to do so, both through The Bookkeeper's Academy, and industry events and expos.
It's so important engage and support one another, and actively create a strong, connected bookkeeping community.
If you see me at an event, whether I'm presenting, part of a panel discussion, or just out and about, please come and say hi.Â

On-Demand Webinar: Breaking the Income Ceiling - Building a 7-Figure Bookkeeping Firm
Building a 7-figure bookkeeping practice is absolutely achievable with the right mindset, strategies and systems.
I know, because I've done it! I scaled my solo operation into a thriving 7-figure practice, then sold it (for well into the 7 figures)! And now I'm lifting the lid on how I did it (so you can too!).
Even if success on a smaller scale is more your style, this webinar will still be a game-changer for your business, as I share how you can harness the power of...
â An entrepreneurial mindset that embraces change and growth.
â An empowered team doesnât rely on you 24/7.
â Systems & tech that support scale and a business that can run without you.
â A pricing structure geared for profit, scale, and high-value services.
â High-value clients who are willing to pay for the outcomes you deliver.
â The confidence to step away from your business and enjoy what you have created.

"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.Â
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 & Bookwiz Academy!
Thanks for helping me take these steps. So much clarity, it feels really good."
Brooke Arnott
CEO, The Small Business Lounge
"I have been working with Martine for a number of years now to assist with the growth of The Small Business Lounge.
Having her as my mentor and sounding board has definitely assisted me with achieving my goals at each stage of our business growth.
I would highly recommend Martine and her Academy to any bookkeeper or accounting firm."
Karen Whitely
Founder, Right Click Business Consulting
"I am so grateful for everything you do Martine.Â
I've been implementing the fixed prices and proposals strategy and what a difference that's made to my business (and my mental health!).Â
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.Â
If I could only bottle the level of confidence this has given me and show others what it feels like to have the weight taken off.
The value you bring is absolutely priceless!"
Jola Abiodun
Founder, Green Mints Business Services
"The step-by-step methodology outlined in the Academy resources gave me the guidance and confidence to take a leap of faith.Â
I'm thrilled to report that I've successfully transitioned 70% of my clients to fixed monthly billing, and the results have been astounding.Â
My revenues have surged by over 80%.
I'm deeply grateful for the wealth of knowledge and experience you generously share. Thank you for your invaluable insights and guidance."
