“Mark’s enthusiasm is boundless and his knowledge of practice management is second to none. He keeps things real and makes you think about ordinary challenges in a different way.”

“Mark Lloydbottom is unquestionably a globally recognised practice management expert for accountants. Over the last 25 years based on his unique insights as partner in practice and his subsequent roles as an advisor and consultant to the profession, he has provided meaningful and transformative support to hundreds of accountants and their practices.
One of the difficulties with practice management is that there is a lot of common sense and no magic formula. If there is no magic why isn’t everyone doing it? The difference between Mark and some gurus in the field is that he acknowledges that there is no “get-rich-quick approach” for accountants. Mark works from a place of integrity and honesty to create meaningful change in how we work and think. He helps firms develop the personal relationships that form the basis of our profession.
As the world changes how they interact with their accountants and business advisors Mark keeps ahead of the field and his core values remain at the heart of true success. When Mark speaks accountants should listen.”
“Our profession is not immune to disrupters like Uber. Mark is a disrupter, but the difference is that he is on our side. He profoundly but simply guides accountants with great advice which, if applied, will help make our businesses more sustainable and disruption-proof.“
“Mark is one of the really good guys! His knowledge and experience in the accounting sector have made him a true thought-leader for the industry. Sharing best practice from a lifetime of experience as a founder, manager and consultant to the sector, his work has become a must read for every ambitious business owner and practitioner.”
“Wow – it seems like yesterday when I met Mark as he led a marketing retreat that I attended early in my career. From the start he inspired me with his depth of knowledge, cutting edge insight and positive energy. He continues to amaze me with his wisdom, creativity and love of the profession. I am proud to call him a role model, mentor and friend. Oh, how thankful I am for that chance meeting in Seattle 20 years ago!”
“The South African Institute of Chartered Accountants engaged Mark to lead a number of our annual Practice Management Conferences and a number of workshops on practice management. Mark’s enthusiastic, honest and insightful presentations were extremely well received by our members who rated his knowledge of the subject, presentation style and audience interaction a staggering 95%! I believe that based purely on his seminar, firms could increase their net income per partner by 6-15%. It is always a pleasure working with Mark, and I recommend him to any practice, accounting association or Institute that is looking to hear a speaker who I can assure you will bring insight and wisdom to any conference.”

His insights have always been deeply challenging and have contributed to our members being able to bring a Defining Edge into their understanding of how to better manage their firms.”
“Our business relationship spans 20 years. Mark’s numerous practice development seminars to my London-based CPD group were always thought provoking and practical. Mark’s vision about the accountancy profession is always miles ahead. I look forward to working alongside Mark in the next 20 years.”
“One of the most important factors in launching a trade exhibition is to have experts in the industry believe in what you are trying to achieve and help you achieve it. Mark has always been a guiding light in this instance and has also contributed to the event by delivering his awesome keynote presentations. I very much value our relationship and hope it continues for many years to come.”
“No-one can accurately forecast what accountants will face in the coming years. However, firms who embrace change will be the ones to prosper. Mark’s suggestions on how to make the most of technological advances, globalisation and a cost conscious culture will help you enhance your client relationships whilst building successful and profitable practices for the future.”
