Guiding Acceler8 Accounting Solutions is Michele Pentecost, a seasoned business owner and growth expert. With over 30 years of experience, Michele has witnessed the highs and lows of business life, gathering priceless insights into the world of entrepreneurship.
Her journey started in the family business, managing accounts and optimising processes. After relocating to the Sunshine Coast and entering public practice, she demonstrated her expertise in taxation and compliance. Yet, like many business owners, she felt the need to do things differently.
So, she embarked on the entrepreneurial path, learning from victories and setbacks. Michele has started businesses, grown them into seven-figure enterprises, and successfully sold them. She also started a financial planning practice, gaining a comprehensive understanding of a business’s life cycle.
Michele has partnered with hundreds of business owners, providing accounting, coaching, and consulting services to help them reach their business goals. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge to help you build your ideal business and live your perfect life. Her family and a firm belief that robust local businesses strengthen local communities are at the heart of her motivation.
