Passionate About Modernizing the CPA Industry
When Marie started her CPA firm in 2020, she struggled to get consistent referrals and leads using social media. She trained with the top names in sales and marketing to learn the strategies to build her modern firm.
This vast knowledge became her strength & inspiration to create The Profit Lab, which aims to help fellow accountants and CPAs 10X their firm revenues by getting consistent referrals and leads using social media.
Marie has over 30 years of business experience, having helped dozens of clients as a Financial Auditor, Controller, and Chief Financial Officer.
She is also a Certified 10X coach, Speaker, Mentor, Public Accountant, and Chartered global management accountant. She's been nominated for the 2022 & 2023 Women Leader's Award by the FICPA and Top 50 Women in Accounting for 2023 by Ignition.

“I have had the pleasure of working alongside Marie for some time now and could not ask for a better partner. She brings incredible energy and passion, and is a proven thought leader in the industry. Her ability to captivate an audience is unmatched."
Michael Gola, BizEquity, Co-Presenter
I met Marie four years ago when I invited Marie to do her first-ever two-hour presentation. She started nervously, but I encouraged her to be herself. That nervousness is now pure confidence. Since then, she has done multiple Presentations for our CPA members, both live and remotely.
I must say, she presents topics that are refreshing, current and aimed to empower the CPA and accounting industry, specifically firm owners. Her presentation skills are creative, and she keeps her audience attentive and engaged. Her public speaking and presentation skills are great, and she excels at encouraging and motivating her audience.
I have also been attending her weekly shows and podcasts for about 12 months. She brings her entrepreneurial spirit when she speaks or presents, and she has motivated me numerous times by her presentations.
As a friend, I joke with her saying” I let that Genie out of the bottle, and there is no returning to the bottle. I spotted a diamond that just needs polishing.”
Marie is excelling at her passion for coaching, speaking, leading, presenting, training, and mentoring. Marie was born for these roles.
I am proud to be associated with Marie Torossian.

Marie did a wonderful job presenting “10 Biggest Follow-Up Mistakes” to the members of TXCPA Houston. As a CPA, she realized the audience's needs and used her own experiences to help attendees understand the materials and how to use the takeaways. Her easygoing personality made it easy to listen to her and learn from her.
Comments from audience survey –

I appreciate her insight, examples, and commitment to helping others grow their business. I also appreciate the servant's attitude she had...it was a GREAT use of an hour for sure! Thank you, Marie (and Kristie!)."
