I love searching for an episode that speaks to whatever issue I’m currently facing - there’s no right or wrong order. The community is fab. Thanks Rachel & team! X

Joining the Practice Owners Podcast is honestly one of the best things I've done for my business! The amount of value in the sessions is incredible. There's so much practical advice, ideas and things you can actually take away and implement in your own practice. I actually said to Rach at Accountex that I'd had to stop watching for a bit because there was so much amazing information that I couldn't implement it all quickly enough! But I think what really makes it different is just how relatable Rach is. She's honest, she's been there, she's made the mistakes herself and she's not afraid to share them. She's genuinely helping other practice owners learn from her experiences and hopefully avoid some of those same mistakes along the way. There's no pretending everything is perfect or that running a practice is easy. It's real, honest conversations and advice from someone who actually gets it. It's refreshing, reassuring and genuinely so valuable. I honestly can't recommend it enough to other practice owners.

Having that space every Monday morning just to hear how Rachel and StriveX are working and the details behind are an absolute must in my week now. I can't pick one specific result or win, other than knowing I have these to go back and re-watch as I get to looking at the different parts of my business. I love the reformat for 2026. If you own an accountancy or bookkeeping practice, Rachel's explanations of how things were at the start are so very helpful - even if you've been going a long time and just not at the same level, the 'I was there where you are now' knowledge is invaluable. I absolutely wish I'd started listening earlier, because there is so much to go back and catch up on I don't think I'll get there! FOMO definitely! But also, I'd never paid for a podcast before, and I was hesitant to pay for something I might not use. Needless to say I WILL be renewing 😊

2 weeks into the CIS course and feeling a lot more confident already. Love the podcasts - finding them so helpful, have started reframing my pricing as a result. I have been listening for several months but only just started implementing - that should have happened sooner! I am a sole trader and there really is something for every practice owner in the podcasts.

I find the podcast like a little pep talk before getting stuck into a week/day of work - it's motivating & uplifting when you're nodding along agreeing, but also a stern (but welcome!) reminder of other areas where your practice management needs your attention before your clients do. There have been some one-liners in particular that have hit hard for me that I've written on a scrap of paper beside my desk and when I have one of those "head in my hands, what am I doing with my life" moments, they are very north star reminders to bring me back to focus!

I’m in the early stages of setting up my accountancy practice, and Rachel has already shifted how I’m approaching it. Because of this podcast I’m building with KPIs and systems in mind from day one rather than figuring that out later when it’s much harder to change. That’s a real head start. Rachel surfaces things you wouldn’t even think to ask about and as a new practice owner, there’s a lot I didn’t know I didn’t know. She makes the business side of running a practice feel manageable and logical, not overwhelming. It’s like having a very switched-on mentor in your ear. I’m lucky that I found it early enough that it’s actually shaping how I set things up. But I’d say to anyone who hasn’t started yet: don’t wait. The frameworks Rachel shares are so much easier to build in from the beginning than to bolt on later.

*January madness felt controlled for the first time in forever thanks to listening to all the podcasts and implementing all the strategies. *I believe the podcasts are a blueprint for every practice owner. Each episode is as relevant to a sole practitioner as it is to a huge practice or a growing practice. *I started listening to the podcast from the beginning and I have never missed an episode, it is the only podcast I have ever paid for and it is the only podcast I have stuck with. The new implementation sessions are such a bonus too.

I loved the series on KPI's - I always had them when I was employed but they felt kind of made up to me. I am working through all the podcasts in that series and will be setting up my own and forward planning for future scaling. Also having a good look at The Profitability Playbook for when I have finished the CIS course. For me it's a safe space to see how an existing successful firm does things and I think every practice owner can benefit from this insight. I have been listening for a while but not in a very productive way - now I feel ready to put some of the advice into action.

The podcast has been life changing for me in my business. I have moved from firefighting and feeling overwhelmed to having more structure and process. From the insights into billing, return per team member, owner KPI's and onboarding. This podcast covers every element that is needed to help you grow & succeed. Rachel - you are a true inspiration - I love your honest approach and relatable experiences, I now have a regular morning per week which is listening to an episode, I can honestly say since joining the podcast running my own business has gone from feeling heavy and stressful to exciting & structured.

I just did “The creator’s guide to making serious ££ online” course with Rachel - it was AMAZING and the most helpful presentation of a topic so many people keep behind closed doors! I am so grateful for the time and resources and Rachel is an AMAZING warm and relatable presenter who made everyone feel welcome and understood, not judged. Would highly recommend!

Rachel delivered an engaging, insightful session that really resonated with our attendees. Her delivery was clear, relatable, and full of value. I’d happily recommend her for future events.

Rachel offered her time, while away in Canada to speak to the students of The Sheffield College. The conversation was a raw, emotional and inspiring look at Rachel's career to date, from school to Accountant_she and everything in between. Students have been buzzing with excitement since and applying for jobs with Rachel's team. The impact is incredible. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything and keep being you.

I recently completed the creators guide to making serious money online course and found it incredibly informative and inspiring. The content was clear, practical, and gave me plenty of ideas to take action. The extra templates were a fantastic bonus — they’ve really helped me put together a concrete plan to move forward with confidence. Thank you for such a valuable and motivating experience!

This was a brilliant and genuinely confidence boosting self assessment tax return refresher course. The content is well structured, the examples are realistic and the checklists and templates are ready to use. I particularly appreciated the live Q&A, the troubleshooting for common HMRC issues and the emphasis on building a consistent, repeatable process. I have already applied the approach with sole traders and landlords and it has saved time while giving me reassurance that I am doing it right. Highly recommended.

I attended the self-assessment confidence boost course recently and would highly recommend the course. The course shares really useful best practice for someone who works with self assessment clients. It set out the basics to ensure we all had in place strong controls to carry out our work effectively and went right through to complex client issues. I felt empowered and set up with the right tools to be able to take on work with more confidence and knowing what to be aware of. What really set this course apart is the time Rachel spent in personalising the course and coaching us through real life issues and examples. I was really impressed with her and the team’s knowledge and willingness to share this to upskill us. The course was set up as a cohort and so through this I have an instant set of peers who we can share knowledge and continue to build our work with.

I have worked through the self-assessment confidence boost course and it was brilliant. It's really helped me put my textbook learnings into practice. The best bit is it's there to re-watch as and when, which will be really helpful.

100% 5* Before I took the Limited Company Accounts With Confidence I felt like I had a huge gap in my skills due to lack of experience in a practice environment. The course was extremely detailed with so many examples that commonly come up in real scenarios and provided huge value for me. It had a really practical step by step structure to follow which was great for learning. Once I completed the course I not only felt more confident I also felt it gave me a more systematic way of thinking and approaching limited company accounts. Highly recommend to anyone considering! After I completed the course I filed my first limited company accounts within a couple weeks. Rachel & James thank you for everything.

This is highly recommended for those launching their own practice and looking to build strong foundations for accurate, high-quality compliance work.

The Mastering Limited Company Accounts course from accountant_she is one I have been waiting for someone to make for about 5 years! This has perfectly filled in any gaps in my knowledge and given me the confidence to move my practice forward. The ongoing support offered is fantastic I have never felt this positive about the future of my business and being able to build it on such a strong and solid foundation. Thank you Rachel.

Rachel and James's CPD Limited company accounts course was great at boosting my confidence with my knowledge and filling in the gaps I did&didn't know needed filling. The extra cherry on the top was the live Q&As, plus cohort whatsapp group, the place to ask the questions to keep moving the needle forwards. I now have the confidence to deliver more services myself and add more profit into my company.

I recently completed the Mastering Limited Company Accounts with Confidence course with Rachel and James, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. The content was well-structured, clearly explained, and packed with practical insights. What I appreciated most was the clarity they brought to some of the more complex and often confusing disclosure requirements. These areas can easily become a source of frustration, but Rachel and James broke them down in a way that was easy to follow and apply. The course has definitely boosted my confidence in preparing limited company accounts, and I came away feeling much more assured in my approach. It’s been a really valuable investment in my professional development.

Before the FRS102 course, I felt I had major gaps in my knowledge After taking the course, I now feel more confident in completing limited company accounts to the required standard. The best bit is that is that I understand what I’m doing rather than simply following a routine process. I have confidence in applying the standard to more complex accounts work. The most valuable part was the supportive learning environment created. There were no areas off limits and James and Rachel were so generous with their answers.

The Mastering Limited Company Accounts with Confidence course gave me exactly that, confidence. It reassured me that I’m doing things correctly, while also introducing better ways to evidence and record my work. That alone has given me extra peace of mind, especially if I ever face a HMRC enquiry. The course itself was clear, practical, and easy to follow. The live sessions were incredibly welcoming, and James and Rachel genuinely went above and beyond to answer questions and offer support. I've walked away feeling more capable, more organised, and much more confident in my limited company work. I’d highly recommend it to anyone who wants to sharpen their skills and feel more assured in their processes.

I have just done the 'Mastering Limited Company Accounts with Confidence' 6 weeks course with Rach and James, and I must say I am pleasantly surprised. I went into the course with a bit of apprehension as to how much it would actually help but it was definitely worth the money. I unfortunately missed one of the live Q&As but I was able to watch it on demand and ping through a list of queries after, meaning nothing was missed. James and Rach are continuing to give support even after the course has ended meaning we're able to pull real life situations into play and apply everything that was covered in the course with their opinions of required, so thank you very much!

I had a strategy session with Taz, and can honestly say it was one of the most valuable marketing consultations I've ever had. I came in with some ideas of how to promote our accounting firm (Clear Group), but left with a full roadmap, clear video content plan, and deep insight into how to actually build trust and generate leads consistently. Taz helped me simplify our funnel, reshape our ad messaging to hit real client pain points, and improve our landing page to convert better. She also sent over a brilliantly structured video shoot plan that broke down exactly what types of videos we need (intro, FAQs, thought leadership, testimonials, behind-the-scenes), how to script or shoot them, and how to repurpose the content efficiently. Her approach was warm, sharp, and really practical, no fluff. She helped me connect the dots between content, trust-building, and conversion. I would recommended her to others in a heartbeat. If you’re a service business trying to grow, especially in a crowded space, talk to Taz.

We've invited Rachel to speak to our audience on several occasions, and each time, our audience is actively engaged in the session and participating. Attendees consistently praise her for offering practical, relatable insights that truly resonate. Despite building a fantastic business, a notable online following, and appearing on high-profile television programs, Rachel remains the same caring and generous speaker she has always been. The content covered is often so inspiring, yet it’s delivered in a way that motivates others to take action and believe they can do the same.
