Mark has spent his career working within SaaS company environments to successfully establish and execute business strategies for both early growth companies and global organizations.

He speaks frequently to professional and industry groups on topics that include digital transformation, technology trends, outsourcing strategy, and workflow advisory consulting, performance management, and productivity enablement within the public accounting and corporate tax, finance, and accounting industries.

Accountants intrigue Rob and over the years he has trained them, consulted to them, coached them, researched them and visited thousands of them. His speaking work has taken him around the world where he has spoken to in excess of 150,000 accountants. Currently his landmark strategies and products are used by over 16,000 accountants in over 20 countries.

In 2005 he created the revolutionary coaching model called coachingclub. The coachingclub model enabled firms to be accountable, to consistently learn and to share ideas amongst their peers. Over 800 Accounting firms have graduated from his coachingclub program. The vast majority of firms have doubled or tripled profits because of the program.

He is the author of 2 bestselling books “Accounting Practices Don’t Add Up – why they don’t and what to do about it” AND “Remaining Relevant – the future of the Accounting profession”. Both have received rave reviews from Accountants and industry professionals from around the world.
