“As the owner of a small business, I was beginning to believe that what I wanted from an accountant didn’t exist. Then I met Janet DeShazo of Accounting Success, Inc. She and her team took time to understand my business, setup an accounting system that fit my needs, and continues to suggest ideas I hadn’t even thought of! Knowing that my accounting is under control frees me up to do what I do best – serve my clients and grow my business. I consider Accounting Success part of my dream team!”

Mary Foley is a national thought leader for women, with a reputation for her spunk and experience.

Fresh out of college, Mary set aside her hard-earned engineering degree, to search for a career that she loved. She took a job as an $8 an hour customer service representative at a then-unknown computer startup America Online.

During AOL’s hyper-growth, Mary was promoted four times, and she survived six layoffs, to become AOL’s first head of Corporate Training. During those years she learned that being bold, positive, and courageous – bodacious – was the only way to thrive in today’s world.

But her rapid rise through the ranks at AOL came to a sudden end, when she hit the glass ceiling. Not satisfied to settle, Mary made the bodacious decision to leave AOL and build her career another way.

She then started her own company, Bodacious! Ventures (www.gobodacious.com), to inspire women to be bodacious in their lives, careers, and businesses. Based on her books “Bodacious! Career: Outrageous Success for Working Women”, and “Bodacious! Woman: Outrageously in Charge of Your Life and Lovin’ It!”, Mary collaborated with author, speaker and 23-year marketing guru Cheryl Thompson to create the Women’s Success Summit (www.SuccessForHer.com), a one-day event that’s part sanity check, part motivation and part career booster.

Drawing upon her experience with mega-brand AOL and the building of her own brand Bodacious!, Mary also teamed up with Thompson to offer their branding and marketing expertise to women with small businesses and big dreams (www.BusinessSuccessForHer.com).
