Join my Vibrant Community

Your Coach, Mentor and Guide to a Balanced, Fulfilling, and Thriving Accounting Practice

I’ve been where you are. With over 30 years in the accounting profession - including 18 years as a practice owner - I know what it feels like to juggle the demands of running a practice while trying to stay profitable, meet deadlines, and keep everyone happy. If you’re feeling stretched too thin, undervalued, or stuck in a cycle of doing too much for too little, you’re not alone - and you don’t have to do it alone.

I created The Balanced Firm to be the space I wish I’d had when I was running my practice - a supportive, uplifting community where small and solo accounting practice owners can connect, share experiences, and find practical strategies to build a better practice and a better life. Here, you’ll find everything you need to overcome overwhelm, rediscover your value, and transform your practice into one that fulfils you both professionally and personally.

In The Balanced Firm, we focus on creating sustainable, win/win relationships with clients - working with those who appreciate your expertise and are happy to pay for the value you provide. It’s about building a practice that supports your life, not one that drains it.

If you’re ready to join a community of like-minded professionals who truly understand what you’re going through and are committed to lifting each other up, The Balanced Firm is here for you. Let’s create the practice - and the life - you’ve been dreaming of, together.

The Balanced Firm is more than just a community – it’s your dedicated space to learn, connect, and thrive alongside other small and solo accounting practice owners. 

Here’s the benefits and why members love it:

• Clarity and Confidentiality: A private, distraction-free platform that’s all about your professional growth, free from the noise of social media.
• Collaborate and Connect: Join a supportive network of like-minded practice owners who share your goals and challenges. Exchange ideas, gain confidence, and feel empowered by the collective wisdom of the group. Many of our members have even connected in person with others from their local area or while travelling, turning virtual relationships into valuable real-world connections.
• Support Anytime, Anywhere:  Whether you’re at your desk or on the go, access our mobile-friendly platform for community conversations, expert advice, and invaluable resources whenever you need them.
• Save Money While Adding Value: Enjoy exclusive discounts with trusted software and service partners to enhance your practice with cost-effective tools and solutions. Plus, members receive special pricing on Amanda’s courses and resources, giving you even more support to grow your practice profitably and sustainably.
• Tailored Experience: Customise your learning journey by curating your feed with topics that matter most to you. Whether you want to focus on pricing, ideal clients, or other key areas of your practice, you can toggle topics on or off to suit your needs. This flexibility is especially valuable for those who feel overwhelmed by too much information - engage with everything or narrow your focus to align with your current priorities.
• Expert Sessions and CPD Hours: Participate in expert-led live sessions that tackle the real challenges practice owners face, while earning CPD hours in one of the most cost-effective ways possible. These sessions, paired with Monthly Q&A with Amanda, provide unparalleled access to Amanda’s coaching—ask your questions or listen as she answers others. Considering Amanda’s 1:1 coaching is $990 an hour, the annual membership option at $997 makes this an incredible value.
• Monthly Challenges, Books, and Podcasts:  Expand your knowledge and refine your practice with inspiring monthly challenges, curated book and podcast recommendations, and actionable guidance. These resources help you explore areas of your practice you may not have otherwise, introducing habits and tools that can transform how you work. Members often find themselves implementing strategies they never knew existed, improving their practices in ways they never imagined.
• Access Exclusive Resources: Dive into Amanda’s Little Pink Book of resources, gain insights from recorded masterclasses, and tap into the tools that help you build a profitable, rewarding practice.

When you join The Balanced Firm, you’re not just becoming part of a community - you’re taking a bold step toward a balanced, fulfilling, and successful practice.

Joining the Balanced Firm Community on Mighty Networks has been one of the best things to come out of 2021.  The community is very supportive in answering questions that come up and the monthly Q and A sessions and Masterclasses alone are worth the joining fee.  Amanda is very generous with her time and experience and often shares examples of procedures she used in her own practice.  If you are a small practice, come and join other small practice owners in a collaborative environment at The Balanced Firm.

I joined The Balanced Firm in 2022. I was a new accounting practice owner and had heard wonderful things about Amanda and her membership. I haven't been disappointed! Amanda has done a wonderful job creating a safe and friendly community of practice owners where I feel comfortable to ask any questions and join in the conversations. Amanda's monthly Q&A sessions are invaluable and I love getting to know the other members during these sessions. Highly recommend The Balanced Firm membership to any practice owner.
