1:1 mentoring with Rachel
I was made redundant in October 2022, after working in various accountancy roles for 15 years. Around February 2022, I had a feeling the company I worked for was going to be sold so I started putting plans in place to start my own accountancy business. Going from industry to practice was scary and there was a lot to learn. I came across Rachel on Instagram and reached out to her about her mentoring sessions. Each session is so varied. My first few sessions ranged from business development, marketing, getting the business set up and applying for my practice licence. Further down the line sessions consisted of any accountancy queries, ways of growing my business and giving me the reassurance I needed when that horrible imposter syndrome reared its head! Rachel really has been amazing since day one, she has helped an enormous amount on my business journey. I wouldn’t be where I am in my business today without her. I highly recommend.

Recruitment support
Through Rachel’s online brand, she’s built an employee waiting list for her own practice, striveX. Through working closely with other practice owners, she’s seen first hand the impact of the recruitment crisis on the industry and wanted to find a way to place exceptional candidates with the right practices.

Our merchandise
Accountancy is a club, too.
When all of Rachel’s friends went off to university and she was working 9-5 at an apprenticeship, she lost that sense of community. Her friend’s had hoodies and t-shirts with their university placements on and she felt alone.
Community is at the centre of everything we do. Rachel wanted to find a way to bring the accounting community together, through merch. You can shop our funny, punny, accounting merch here.
