"...Lu Bauer is one of those rare individuals...one whose ability to combine head and heart and spirit is embodied in all that she does. A true pioneer, breaking the boundaries of traditional thinking, Lu envisioned, birthed and nurtured into existence the concept of holistic accounting.. sharing herself and her dream freely with all of us in the process.
"Through Lu's solid mastery in business principles together with her vision of a better way, I, along with other New Ventures participants, began our journey...debunking our stereotypes, facing our fears about women and money, tackling boldly the principles of sound financial management and, from a newly empowered stance, creating new systems which better fit our needs..."
Appreciation Award, Displaced Homemakers Project
"As always, thanks so much for joining us...to share your Accounting and Taxation Expertise with our New Ventures Graduates! You had them all engaged right from the beginning! If Accounting is your first calling, then Teaching must be your second...or maybe it's a tie! You do such a great job!"
Employment and Training Coordinator
Maine Centers for Women, Work and Community
"Thank you so much for joining our New Ventures Class...The participants raved about your presentation and how much they learned (me too!). You are a wonderful role model and mentor to women and men alike. We truly value you, Lu, as a professional and friend to our organization."
Employment and Training Coordinator
Transitions, Displaced Homemakers Project
"Thanks for once again leading our Project NAME class through the intricacies and mysteries of the U.S. tax system. Their heads were all reeling at the end of the day, but I know they appreciated the information. It was obvious to me the benefits from your trip to Russia and I enjoyed the way you were able to integrate what you had learned there into your interactions with the members of this current class."
Project NAME Refugee Business Training
"I wanted to drop you a short note to thank you for your workshop. It had a powerful impact on those who attended. You have such a wonderful gift. I want to thank you not only on behalf of the protégés, but also for helping me get back on center with my own money issues!"
Women's Mentoring Program
Women's Business Development Corporation
"Just a note to reiterate how valuable your seminar was to me at WBDC's Protégé Program...thanks again for sharing all the great stuff you know."
Mentors and Protégés Business Course participant
"You were a champion! I was impressed - though not surprised - at how well you rose to the challenge. It was not easy what you did; it takes incredible attention, focus and clarity to lead that group through complex material. You can feel right pleased with your accomplishment.
"I was pleased to see how your style of presentation, - straightforward, simple and rich with details, which I have seen work with "regular Americans" - was equally effective with folks struggling to overcome language and cultural differences. It was an important affirmation for me."
Project NAME - Entrepreneurship for Refugees
"As usual, you were wonderful! How lucky I was to have `found' you way back when! Now, there are many more people who know how informative you are. Everyone was pleased with your presentation and I know that it sets the `wheels rolling.' Someone wrote on an evaluation, `wonderfully informative - I'm psyched.'"
Executive Director, Maine Crafts Association
"The last time I heard you was at the regional L/A WBDC meeting - it was great."
Business Development Specialist
U.S. Small Business Administration
"Financial record-keeping and tax implications were areas that many of the participants felt most inadequate about in their pre-class interviews. With your material and non-threatening way of presenting it, they feel considerably more comfortable with their ability to become good financial managers of their businesses.
"Our program is fortunate to have as a resource person someone with both your expertise and your understanding and support of the budding entrepreneurs who come to New Ventures. Thanks again, Lu. I look forward to more opportunities to learn from, and share ideas with, you."

"Five years ago I had been operating a graphic design business out of my home studio for half a dozen years. Though I was content with my client base, I longed for more contact with my design peers and wished I could be writing more."
