Accounts Assist was a good choice for me. The training was thorough, interesting and tailored to suit my experience. I have received good service from them and their support in answering any questions raised has been brilliant. I would recommend them. - ROHIT SHUKLA, LEICESTER
Having spent 25 years working for others I decided that I wanted more of a work/life balance. The Accounts Assist franchise offered me this. It is up to me whether I go flat out and build a mini empire, tick over and pay the bills or something in between. There are no pressures to meet targets and the set-up/ongoing costs are the lowest in the market. In spite of this the central team is always there to offer technical and marketing support. - ALAN REWHORN, HUDDERSFIELD
Making the leap from being a Finance Director to self-employed accountant can be a daunting prospect. I soon realised that I needed help in getting my first clients, putting together quotes and pricing for my services, choosing the right software, and last but not least I would need a good website and stationery to help me project a professional image. The team at Accounts Assist has been invaluable in providing me with tools to do a first-rate job, providing me with multi-company book-keeping and payroll software plus in-house training and a technical helpline for queries. They have provided me with initial client appointments and even accompanied me on my first appointment. The people at Accounts Assist have been very friendly, helpful and enthusiastic, proving the old adage that as a franchisee you are “working for yourself but not by yourself”. - TREVOR PEARSON, IPSWICH
