ENGAGING STYLE

As a recognized CPA-profession thought leader, Michelle’s always spicing up her sessions with refreshing candor, emperor-has-no-clothes observations, real-time data, and emerging trends. She delivers it with humor and empathy that wins over even the toughest crowds. And because she gets bored easily, she never gives the same exact session twice!

QUALIFIED & RESPECTED

Michelle is uniquely qualified—and in high demand—to teach about business-model transformation, revenue-model reinvention, and how to price upfront with confidence. This is exciting new territory for CPA firms, especially large firms who’ve never had a resource more seasoned in the practical application of institutionalizing non-time-based pricing techniques.

“Michelle spoke at our Headwaters conference and her session was a real eye opener. Her approach to pricing strategies for the accounting profession is the best I’ve ever seen. It is practical, it makes sense to firms of any size, and it is the path to the future changes facing the accounting profession. Michelle knows her stuff—her thought-provoking, professional approach to presenting the topic makes you feel it is possible to make it happen in your firm!“

“I don’t normally do this, but I thought your session was so good and so well-run that I wanted to offer myself as a reference if you ever need one. I haven’t seen the written evaluations yet, but the anecdotal evidence was that it was just what the doctor ordered. I can’t thank you enough for sending our managing partners out with a bang.”
