What People Are Saying

In a rapidly changing world, the need for diversity of thinking, gender, age and background has never been more acute. To drive change, influence is often a more powerful currency than competence and knowledge. Having done thousands of interviews with accounting and fintech influencers, some of the most effective agents of change are strong, authoritative female leaders who are prepared to challenge the status quo and shake up the traditional accounting profession. Lucy Cohen is right up there as a 'go to speaker' and podcast guest for events organisers and podcasters looking for incisive delivery, best practice accounting strategies and maximum audience engagement.

- Rob Brown, Host of the Accounting Influencers Podcast

Lucy is an absolute star. As well as effortlessly engaging an audience in a solo talk or chairing an inspiring fireside chat or panel, she always sweats the detail - from nailing a brief to hitting a deadline to dealing with all the dull things that come with digital or live engagements. Beyond the process though, it's Lucy that you're booking - and that's something you should do right now.

- Mike Goldsmith, Head of Events at Sift Media

I had the pleasure of meeting Lucy back in 2008, when wearing my corporate sales director hat. I’ve engaged and worked with Lucy on several speaking opportunities over the years and Lucy is always engaging, well researched and opinionated, which is always great for a panel discussion or podcast. I’m delighted to see all the success that Lucy has had, both in and out of the accounting world and in achieving personal goals. For whatever task, you are thinking of engaging Lucy, stop – just sign the booking form.

- Dermot Hamblin, Ambassador at UNIPaaS

Lucy is a gifted speaker who has the ability to connect with audiences and inspire them to achieve their full potential. Her expert knowledge and passion for everything she does, combined with genuine authenticity means her delivery is both captivating and engaging - I cannot recommend her enough.
