The value of a unique combination of skills.

Hello! I'm Michelle. Welcome to my website!

This page is written differently to the ones elsewhere here. I'm using this page as a space to share not only what I do, but who I am.

​

I'm a purpose-driven consultant. My biggest driver is helping others. I've done this most directly by writing grant applications to secure funding for not-for-profits, most recently for children's healthcare in WA. But all of my work is purpose-based - I'm passionate about levelling playing fields in competitive situations by ensuring opportunities aren't only given to those who are the most articulate or professional, but to those who offer the best value. Value isn't only value for money - it's far more nuanced than that, and communicating that is itself an art.

​

That's where I come in. 

​

I'm both a Chartered Accountant and a writer. I worked for many years with a "big 4" Chartered Accounting firm and while I was there I was given the opportunity to spend time at a school for disadvantaged children in South Africa, working with the school's management team to develop a sustainable business plan and to secure funding. The trip sowed the seed for what would later become Mphatic Consulting.

 

Since then I've had the opportunity to work with and learn from people with remarkable ideas, vision, and passion. Not to mention resilience! I've helped start-ups find capital and customers. I've helped businesses articulate what exactly it is they do, and what their competitive edge is - spring boarding them to grant, tender and capital raising opportunities. I've helped remarkable charities deliver remarkable impact in the areas of homelessness, the environment and healthcare. I've helped small businesses prepare tender documentation and win work - especially in regional and remote areas of WA. I've helped large corporates win large and complex engagements through tender submissions involving large teams and tight deadlines.  I've prepared policies, collateral, press releases, internal and external communications strategies,  annual report content, and information memorandums. I've prepared financial models and presented them to boards, shareholders and employees.

​

I love the challenge of working with complex ideas and creating easy-to-understand narratives for an intended audience. It's a form of artistic expression - just corporatised!
