My personality, style, and sense of humor have made people question my profession. I hear this everywhere I speak - “you are not like the typical accountant." I used to get offended but now I receive it as a compliment, because I must admit, I am different. I am ENERGETIC, ENGAGING, AND EMPOWERING. ♦ I love speaking. ♦ I love empowering others. ♦ I love seeing that “AHA look” on the faces of my attendees. I travel across the US, speaking to audiences about three main topics – Entrepreneurship, Ethics, and Fraud Prevention. I have conducted workshops for the U.S. Small Business Administration, The Urban League, SCORE, Access to Capital for Entrepreneurs, Dress For Success, and other non-profit organizations. I have also been featured on ABC, CBS, NBC, and other national media outlets. Organizations hire me when they need a down-to-earth speaker who will engage their audience and achieve massive results. I delivered my first TEDx Talk on September 19, 2020.

For three years I kept saying that I was going to write a book. It wasn’t until my business coach at the time asked me a few questions. He said, “Why do you want to write a book?”. I said, “Because I want to stop businesses from failing.” He then said, “So, if you don’t write your book will you stop businesses from failing?” That was when I got off of my excuses and got it done. I wrote my first book in six weeks and published it in two months. That was in 2010. I have since written four books, and there are many more on the way.My books are available on my website at www.TrustBernadette.com and Amazon.

I work directly with small firm attorneys on financial strategy and business management; Lead training sessions and workshops on accounting and financial strategy for law firms; Guide healthier small law firms through expert coaching, support, and thought leadership.
