Why am I an inspired accountant, and how can you be too?

I am Mark Laine-Toner, and I've spent my career working at the point where finance and the business come together.


I believe great Finance teams do much more than just report performance.  They shape it.  They bring clarity to complexity, challenge established thinking, identify where value can be created and, importantly, help the business turn those opportunities into results.


That's what Inspired Accountant is about. 


Let's shape the profession together, inspiring current and future finance leaders to embrace and drive change, deliver high-quality leadership and create demonstrable business value.


What I stand for

Clarity and Insight

I reward clear thinking and turning analysis into a story tied to outcomes. We don’t just report numbers; we use them to shape better decisions

Ownership and Impact

I don’t tolerate passengers or guesswork. I set a high bar, expect people to stay close to the business, and build real insight that drives performance

People and Progress

I create a safe, collaborative environment where people are supported and challenged. We work across functions, push boundaries, and grow into business leaders who happen to be brilliant with numbers.

Coaching and Mentoring

I also mentor and coach finance professionals to raise performance, confidence, and impact, as part of how I build capability and strong teams
