Innovator

I've been putting sustainability into practice for over 25 years, starting my own company founded on providing a flexible workforce back in 1999 (“Robbins’ business takes off”), spreading my message of "success through sustainability", and through my unique style of peer-led professional groups.

Community Builder

After 10 years of running my own accounting technology company, I launched the QuickSource peer groups. These groups bring professionals together to share laughs, tips, advice and sometimes clients​. I have helped hundreds of business owners to sustainably grow their own ​companies, with the support of peers along the way. ​It's that philosophy of “specialization through collaboration” that has made me, and QuickSource, a leader and a model in peer mentoring and support for accounting technology professionals.

Trainer

​Over the years I have joyfully facilitated and built these groups, and thoroughly enjoyed teaching, training, and leading dozens of seminars for accounting professionals. I have trained hundreds of bookkeepers and accounting managers, and taught accounting software as a speaker for conferences such as XeroCon, Scaling New Heights, and SleeterCon, and for companies such as Finagraph and Xero . My published articles include "Into the Cloud: A QuickBooks for Mac Case Study", “How to Form an Accountant's Meetup Group in Your Area” and “ Why Joining Peer Groups Pays Off For CPAs.”

Driven

I know that sustainability accounting will change the way small businesses define success, and through the professional peer groups I facilitate, I teach the core principles to bookkeepers and accounting professionals. And through peer groups where small business owners support each other in implementing and practicing sustainable business practices, I hope to help others put sustainability into action.
