About Me
Having grown Farnell Clarke at a rate of 30% year-on-year, I’ve seen and learned the good, the bad, the ugly and the horrifying of scaling an accounting firm. Everything from processes, efficiencies, customer experience and more – I’ve seen the bumps, found the pitfalls, but in doing so I’ve gained some amazing insight.
I’ve faced the challenges you’re facing, and now I’m keen to share my lessons learnt and I want to use my unique insight to help you drive your firm forward, whether you’re a sole practitioner or a top-100 firm.
Following the release of my book, I’ve had the privilege of speaking at events such as Xerocon, ACCA Roadshows, QB Connect and more, you can expect my talks to challenge the way you’re currently thinking about all-things practice growth related from tech and digital, people, culture and service delivery. You’ll leave them with the knowledge and insight to truly bring about a digital transformation in your own firm!

For me, Will’s talks are an example of learning from something real. He covers not only the “how”, but the “why” also. He practices what he preaches, which makes seeing him speak invaluable if you’re serious about getting your firm’s transformation going.
