From a rural Hawke's Bay family background, Mark is certainly not your typical Chartered Accountant. With a career founded on an honours degree in accounting and commercial banking, Mark now works closely with businesses daily. His CV includes a proven track record of building businesses nationwide through strategic thinking and focused execution. His success is grounded in an understanding of the real-life challenges they face.

To Mark, a great business delivers the three freedoms – Time Freedom, Mind Freedom and Financial Freedom. He helps these businesses progress from crawling to walking, running, to flying. He helps people make smarter decisions, putting achievable goals in place and holding clients accountable as they work towards building a better business. Within the numbers, Mark can see potential begging to be developed.

Not only is he a self-made man, but he's also a thought leader who has helped many other business owners achieve their financial and life goals.

Mark lives and breathes the core values developed within his business, Bizdom – the first of which is 'Family First'.
