Introduction To

Book Mark Lee

Mark’s expertise, credibility and profile has been built up over a long career including many years at the top of the accounting and tax professions. He is the only Chartered Accountant qualified speaker routinely highly ranked as an online influencer.

As a result Mark is a popular choice whether you want a 1-2-1 mentor or to engage more members of your team or firm in your vision, kick-start a strategy review, or simply engage a top quality and highly regarded speaker to inspire, motivate and entertain your audience.

Expertise

 These days, whilst Mark has long addressed a wide range of related topics and issues, he specialises in those he is most often asked to address when mentoring accountants, when providing them with strategic advice and when speaking at team events and on stage:

N

Strategic Lead Generation

N

Marketing Strategy

N

Business Development

N

LinkedIn Strategies

N

Practice Strategy

N

Social Media Strategies

N

Generating Referrals

N

Standing Out from the Competition

N

Business Messaging

Over the years Mark has evidenced his expertise in many business development related issues. His interest in such matters started even before he qualified when he began what became a lifelong interest in learning from personal development books and tapes. Later, in practice, he was unique among his colleagues, at the time, in wanting to equip his team with key business development skills.

He became even more committed to enhancing his own business development skills while still in practice after developing, marketing and selling the first tax planning software for accountants.

What they say about Mark

Mark is one of the best accountancy speakers I have seen/heard. As an accountant himself with 25 years in practice he really understands the profession and tailors his talks to his audience. As a ‘futurist’ his talks are full of balanced opinions, debunking, and practical advice. His presentations are polished and there’s even something magical about them, which may be something to do with his hobby as a member of the Magic Circle.

Mark will provide exceptional value for your event and, having had the pleasure of Chairing one such event, I knew that I could rely on him to apply the same high standards to speaking as accountants and other professionals apply to their own work

Brad Burton recommended that I speak to Mark when I first set out developing the Accountex idea. We hit it off straight away and Mark was integral to the early stages of developing the Accountex product. He said it would be hard but he believed in my ability and put his name to the event. Mark is very well respected in his industry and rightly so, he helped me every step of the way and contributed to making the event the success it was. Mark spoke at 3 different seminars at the show and was also the official guest editor of the official show guide. Needless to say I hope to continue working with Mark for many years to come.

I absolutely love working with Mark! We have collaborated on several projects now, creating thought leadership pieces and presentations for the accountant public in the UK and for the Intuit customers I support. I find him refreshing in his approach and he is an excellent writer, plus he just makes me laugh! He is also a GENIUS regarding anything to do with Social Media, and to quote Guy Kawasaki, he somehow manages to be Enchanting in everything he does. In short, he will delight you.

Mark recently attended one of our partner’s meetings and shared with us his views and experiences of various social media, and how they might be used to help us to attract new clients – and staff!. He dispelled some of the myths and pointed us in the right direction on a number of matters. Now all we need to do is to implement what we learned. Failing that, we’ll just have to get him back to motivate us again!

We approached Mark as we see him as almost an accountant celebrity. His in depth knowledge and understanding of the marketplace has been invaluable. He willingly shares his insights with us and our investors and he offers clear ideas and advice on strategy, marketing and product development. He’s also a really nice and down to earth chap.

Mark Lee is one of the good guys. As well as being one of the truly ‘stand out’ thought leaders and advisors to the accounting profession worldwide, he is a wonderfully warm, helpful and caring individual. He has the rare gift of (1) understanding the numbers and technical side of accountancy, and (2) possessing the emotional intelligence to relate brilliantly to the people side of the profession. In a crowded world of experts and commentators, Mark is one of the few people I look to in the accounting world for insight, candidness, innovation, wisdom and gravitas. Highly recommended!
