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.

The thing I get asked to talk about the most.
One of the topics I'm often asked to talk about is Pricing. Many bookkeepers find it challenging to create a profitable and scalable business (that they love rocking up to every day), so if this is you - you're not alone.
Part of the pricing challenge comes down to how to set successful strategies and processes, though the other part relates to how to overcome fears, unlock your true value, communicate confidently with clients, and charge your worth.
Watch the 10min demo below and see how I use my Fee & Package Builder to gain the clarity and confidence in my pricing process and create a profitable and scalable bookkeeping business.
Get The Bookkeeper's Academy Fee & Package Builder
The Bookkeeper's Academy Fee & Package Builder is one of my most sought after tools for bookkeepers wanting to create a successful, profitable, and sustainable business.
It will help you scope, price and review your clients with confidence, and create customised fee structures and package options that optimise profit, scalability, capacity and value to your business. It's super easy to use, and once you implement this tool into your business, you won't look back (I certainly haven't!).
How to access the Fee & Package Builder to use in your business:
Become an Academy member and gain immediate access to the Fee & Package Builder along with 100s of other practical resources, insights and learnings, or purchase it outright.

"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 & 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."

"I am so grateful for everything you do Martine.
I've been implementing the fixed prices and proposals strategy and what a difference that's made to my business (and my mental health!).
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.
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.
I'm thrilled to report that I've successfully transitioned 70% of my clients to fixed monthly billing, and the results have been astounding.
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."
