The Team Behind Your Success!

Michele Rawlins, FCA | Thriving Practice Specialist

Meet Michele: I am deeply passionate about empowering accountants to enhance their businesses, no matter their starting point. By providing strategic guidance, industry knowledge, and actionable insights, I help accountants achieve their professional goals. With over 30 years of experience, including 14 years dedicated to supporting accountants in growing their practices, reclaiming their time, and reducing stress, I bring a wealth of practical expertise. As the Public Practice Program facilitator for CAANZ and the IPA, I was able to leverage my industry knowledge to make learning more experiential and impactful. My hands-on, problem-solving approach encourages meaningful engagement, resulting in lasting personal and professional transformations.

Beyond my work with Thriving Advisor, I prioritize staying active and enjoy immersing myself in nature, whether hiking through the bush or walking along the beach, exercise plays a key role in my overall well-being. Spending quality time with family is equally important to me, and I also have a passion for travel, exploring the world's diverse and unique landscapes.

Keith Marshall, FIPA | Accounting Practice Management Specialist

Meet Keith: I’m a qualified accountant with over 20 years in public practice management, I’m dedicated to helping accountants, advisors, bookkeepers, CFOs, and financial consultants build businesses they love. At Thriving Advisors, we reinvent how accounting professionals run their businesses, enabling practice owners and managers to live stress-free lives. We achieve this by systematizing your business, developing the right team and processes, and fostering leadership skills.

Outside of Thriving Advisors: I have a passion for travelling the world—I’ve visited every continent! My accounting practice ran smoothly for a month while I was in Antarctica with almost no internet. I love great food, crime thrillers on Netflix, and spending time with family, friends, and my gorgeous dog. I also enjoy learning, growing, and staying fit with yoga and kickball.
