60th TAXASSIST ACCOUNTANTS SHOP OPENS!

TaxAssist Accountants, the UK’s leading specialists for accountancy and taxation services to small business, is proud to announce the opening of its 60th Shop.

TaxAssist Accountants provides small businesses with expert advice tailored specifically for their needs, from the completion of end of year accounts and tax returns to payroll, VAT and bookkeeping. This is complemented by a wide range of additional services for small business clients, including debt recovery, independent financial advice and personnel (HR) services.

TaxAssist Accountants developed the shop front concept with the aim of attracting the local small and medium sized business owner with a fresh, modern and stylish look. Not only do the shop fronts lend visibility and accessibility they also offer the credibility with other businesses and clients that working from home simply could not provide.

The franchisee that hit the 60th spot is Terry Little who operates from Bolton in Greater Manchester. Terry only joined TaxAssist Accountants in October and reports “Just coming to the end of my first four weeks in the shop and I have had 7 good quality walk-ins, 4 just this week! The main feedback I am getting from these walk-ins is that they have noticed the recent opening of the shop whilst driving past. In total, I have secured 8 new clients in my first month with annual fee income of just over £5k. With the potential clients and new appointments booked ahead I would hope to at least match this next month.”

Karl Sandall, Chief Executive of TaxAssist Accountants comments “It is very clear to us that moving into shop front premises will continue to be the way forward for all franchisees. We have always had complete confidence in this. Professionalism and business stature within the community are immediately elevated with the increased profile of a shop front office, - which in turn improves local business relationships and increases referrals of new business.”

Franchisees do not need any formal accountancy qualifications as full training is given, but you do need to have a relevant career background, be self motivated, disciplined, ambitious, hardworking and keen to build a substantial successful business.
