Mark Wickersham – Chartered Accountant, public speaker and #1 best-selling author – is known as the most sought-after profit improvement expert in the accounting community. He is famous for helping accounting firms double their profits in less than 18 months without having to work harder or do any uncomfortable marketing. Mark is passionate about this great accounting profession. He believes that we have the power to make a profound difference in the lives of our clients and in return accountants should be very richly rewarded. 

Unfortunately, the reality is very different; benchmarking studies show over half of accounting firms are actually making a true economic loss. Mark wants to CHANGE that. He is passionate about the accounting profession and helping accountants to become much more profitable. He believes every firm – including you – has the potential to double profits using the 7-step “Fastest Way To Double Your Profits” formula. He also strongly believes that the old business model (the way accountants are taught to run accounting firms) is not only commercially stupid but UNETHICAL. Practitioners owe it to clients to change their focus. Mark is also a widely published author on practice issues. In May 2011 his book, “Effective Pricing for Accountants”, was a number 1 Amazon bestseller. His other books include, “A Practical Approach to Value Pricing” and “How to Build a Successful Bookkeeping Business”, both of which have been widely acclaimed.
