Melanie Power is all about Empowering women in business to Command The Price they Deserve for the Value they Deliver!

From Maitland, a rural town in New South Wales, Australia, who started her career doing Mobile Tax returns in her little yellow van travelling around (whilst pregnant with her first child) and helping Mum’s and Dad’s understand what the numbers meant and HOW it could help them make better decisions for their lives and business.

 1992 was the year that technology came to the world of small business and desktop accounting software was the key that started Mel’s love of technology and systems. With the introduction of Cloud technology in 2012, this led to a new way of doing business for bookkeepers and accountants, which Mel took up and grew her own practice as a sole operator to 120 clients in a year.

Mel has also owned several other businesses including Motorcycle Dealership, Licenced Finance Brokerage, IT, Electronic Repair Business. These business allowed Mel to really work in her love of Sales and Marketing and she developed a unique package way of selling which led to the Motorcycle Dealership take the No 1 spot as Dealer of The Year in Australia in 2011.

In 2014, Mel went on to work in a Global Role for the Accounting Software Company Xero as Head Of Bookkeeping and Partner Communities .During her tenure she planted and grew 13 online communities resulting in managing around 30,000 members. She also created the highly successful Grow Your Practice Series for Bookkeepers which resulted in Bookkeepers achieving a 47% revenue increase in a 6 month period. 

In July 2018 Mel left her corporate role at Xero to return to her love of Small Business and now works full time delivering her Program Kickstart for Bookkeepers under the Melanie Power Brand.

It’s all about “paying it forward” and empowering others with the knowledge and skills to make it happen for themselves so they can have a business and life they LOVE!
