Consulting and Advisory Services
Mark works with accounting firm partners and leadership teams to clarify direction, strengthen execution, and build confidence at the strategic level. He has a passion for helping clients understand the story behind the numbers, turning sums into priceless knowledge.
His work focuses on helping firms step back from day-to-day delivery to assess how well their strategy is understood, discussed, and applied across the business. From there, Mark supports firms to put practical structures, systems, and leadership disciplines in place that turn intent into action.
Programs are collaborative, practical, and grounded in proven frameworks, helping firms move from good ideas to consistent execution.
Mark has written a book with his business partner Matthew Feehan entitled ‘The Fearless Advisor’s Playbook: 7 Steps To Drive Your Firm Beyond Compliance’, which will be released in May 2026. Here, he shares his lived experience and expert knowledge on how to set your firm up for success in the business advisory sphere.
