Client Reviews

Jacqueline Ironside | Managing Director

Norfolk Business Consulting Limited

I met Michele at a business conference around 10 years ago, and we instantly struck up a friendship. We attended three more conferences together over the next year. Because of our connection and Michele's experience in running a modern accounting firm, I approached her to be my business coach.

Michele was invaluable in providing guidance and technical advice on methods to improve the performance of an accounting practice. She also assisted with HR management and succession planning.

I highly recommend Michele as a business coach. She has a keen ability to pinpoint areas for improvement and can hold you accountable for achieving your business goals.

I had no hesitation in hiring Michele. Her excellent credentials and professionalism gave me confidence, and a mutual friend who spoke highly of her reinforced my decision.

Running a solo partner firm can be isolating, so having someone to talk to about the business was invaluable. The most beneficial services were the regular fortnightly meetings that brought structure and clarity to my practice, Michele’s mentorship, and the team workshops that boosted morale and fostered a more positive, productive work environment. She also helped us implement effective systems and procedures.

Michele has always been patient and supportive. I would highly recommend her to any accounting practice in need of structure and strategic advice. She truly understands the challenges, having run her own practice, she’s been in our shoes.

Michele is professional, approachable, hardworking, and consistently goes above and beyond for her clients. She’s not just a consultant, she’s a trusted confidant.

Engaging Michele Rawlins was a pivotal decision made by myself and my two managers. With the pace of change in the accounting industry accelerating, we recognised the need for expert guidance and strategic direction.

Michele’s background as someone who has successfully run her own accounting practice stood out to us immediately. She understands the real-world challenges we face and brings a level of empathy and insight that’s both rare and reassuring.

Working with Michele has given us the confidence to make bold, future-focused decisions, particularly around modernising our systems and streamlining the way we operate. She brings the best of a mentor, coach, and consultant, all rolled into one. Her hands- on approach hasn’t just inspired change, it’s ensured that we’re actually implementing it.

We’re now operating with greater clarity, efficiency, and purpose, and feel confident that we’re building a more resilient, future-ready business.
