“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.”

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%.

“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.”
