We are absolutely loving being part of the TRCC and Bounce!™ community. It has massively made a difference already to the way we are working, and keeping our stress levels down, and in turn reducing our hours.

Simon helped me to whip up a document to send to clients and prospects in no time. He’s very generous with his time and knowledge - I can see this with my short time so far in the Bounce community. Thanks Simon and team !

I have been in Bounce since the start and it has helped me grow my practice and has more than paid for itself with the fantastic tips and systems that Simon and his team share. Attended a GRF Mastery course yesterday and within 24 hours put the tips into practice with positive results. Also, a great supportive community of like-minded accountants. Would recommend to any accountant seeking to succeed.

I have been part of the Bounce community for little while now. Their encouragement, motivation and accountability is just brilliant. I had a call with Mark yesterday and talked through a few concerns I had. I came off the call with much more clarity of what action to take! I would highly recommend speaking to Simon or Mark if you are wanting to improve any aspect of your accountancy business!

I've been working with Simon, Mark, and Michelle from the Accountants Mastermind Group for nearly four years, and their support has been instrumental in my business's growth.Their personalised coaching sessions, when needed, have been incredibly beneficial, and being part of a network of accountants in similar roles has been transformative. But The insights and best practices shared in these meetings are outstanding, and I've built valuable connections over the years. They are my first point of contact for any challenges, and the support is always reciprocal.Reflecting on my journey, I wish I had joined them earlier in my self-employment path. Initially, I felt I wasn't significant enough or deserving, but those thoughts were misplaced. The environment is genuinely supportive and nurturing. I strongly recommend them to anyone eager to enhance their business.

The Accountant Mastermind has been business and life changing for us. The team are very supportive and thought-provoking. The events are super for making you think about the way things are done and how they could be improved. I would highly recommend for any accountants looking to grow or improve their processes.

The Accountants' Mastermind Evolution team and group members have helped me on my journey, to realise that it is possible to grow, employ qualified people, make mistakes and to have belief in myself. Having such support has been invaluable. They go above and beyond.

Simon and Mark have now run our second team day and it is an invaluable experience, and something I couldn't do myself! They were able to get my team to relax as initially they were apprehensive about what they would need to do, and we were able to get some great results! We worked through the vision and values of the business and what it means to be a client of our business. It also helped me get my thoughts out of my head and involve my team so that we can all make the business better. Will definitely be having more of these days!

I have been in the evolution group for 2+ years now and its been genuinely game changing for me. Having the scheduled sessions has forced me to focus on working on the business not in the business and Simon, Mark and the rest of the group have positively challenged me and encouraged me to make changes. As a solo-director it can feel isolating and having the evolution group to share ideas with, ask questions and just generally support each other has been wonderful. The content Simon delivers on the days has also been so helpful and actionable and the speakers have been really inspiring and lovely. Overall highly recommend for anyone who wants to grow, improve and enjoy their business!

I have been involved with The Accountants Mastermind for over 4 years now.

I can promise you will not regret giving it a go!

I recently had the pleasure of presenting to The Accountants' Mastermind Group, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. Mark and the entire team were incredibly welcoming and organised, making the presentation seamless and enjoyable. The group's enthusiasm and engagement were palpable, and it was evident that they are dedicated to fostering a collaborative and supportive environment for their members. I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the group's knowledge and development and look forward to future collaborations. Highly recommend The Accountants' Mastermind Group to anyone looking to connect with like-minded professionals and elevate their skills and expertise in the accounting industry.

I have known Simon Chaplin and had involvement with his Accountants Mastermind and other groups for several years. Everything that Simon does is a massive help to accountants in practice and the results are likely to significantly improve your business and your work/life balance.I recently contacted Simon for some advice in respect of a difficult practice/client issue and I thought I knew exactly what course of action I was going to take. After an initial call with Simon to briefly explain my issue, he took the time to call me back with advice, ideas and information. Simon’s advice will now take me on a completely different course of action which is most likely going to save me a huge amount of time, worry and expense.Thank you Simon.

The Accountants' Mastermind recent event, Break Through Your Glass Ceiling", was very provoking in making me think about me, and how I can change things by changing how I think or change the language around how I think about them. I especially enjoy sharing with others and knowing it isn't just you!

I have been with The Accountancy Mastermind (TAM) since Oct 2016 and I still get loads from it. It has helped me make my accountancy firm efficient and grow.The big plus is the self-development with some great speakers as well as Simon and Mark's input. It makes a difference having GreenStones accounting firm owned by Simon Chaplin as he has been there and done it......and is still part of running a real accounting firm :). So the knowledge sharing is relevant and up to date.The mastermind collaboration is also such a valuable part of being part of the mastermind with the support and sharing of information and processes that it brings.I can highly recommend any accountancy or bookkeeping firm owner joining TAM.

I had a call with Mark to help me gain clarity about the issues affecting the growth of my firm. By the end of our session, Mark helped me to drill down to the real issue and therefore we were able to identify the solution to focus on. At the end I had peace of mind to focus on my appropriate actions. The call was excellent time well spent.

Meet the Founder

Simon Chaplin

Accountant, Serial Entrepreneur, Amazon Best-Selling Author & Straight-Talking Advisor to the Accountancy Profession.

Simon Chaplin ‘took the leap’ and bought his first accountancy practice in 2002. Since then, he’s extracted himself from the day-to-day running of that practice and, since 2012, created The Accountants’ Mastermind community.

It has not always been easy going! Simon has dyslexia and has never been academically gifted. He’s spent 000’s of hours developing himself and his businesses. He’s discovered (through an awful lot of trial and error!) the framework to build, grow and scale accountancy businesses.

Now he spends his time Inspiring, Challenging and Supporting other accountants to do what he’s done – to escape the treadmill, get and keep all the customers you want.
