A rewarding scalable business model for the financially astute
Run your own accounting and advisory business
Now more than ever, you might be thinking about how to make your time and income work harder for your future, so that you’re in control.
As a TaxAssist Accountants franchisee, you can run a thriving accountancy and advisory business, enjoy a growing income from your efforts, and build a valuable asset to sell when the time is right.
You will be able to deliver a suite of accounting, tax, financial and advisory services to local business owners, contractors, freelancers, and their families from your welcoming high street premises.
Franchisees have worked both in practice and industry, banking, financial services, corporate and consulting, and some have been former successful business owners too.
Having a financial background is essential – the focus is on advising and supporting clients while your tech and team do the number crunching.
The Market
With the loss of the traditional bank manager and other advisory organisations, there is a gap that TaxAssist franchises are filling, as people seek a local trusted advisor for their business and personal financial affairs.
Demand is constant, with evolving tech automating many of the basic services. Franchisees and their teams harness this to deliver a suite of accounting, tax and advisory work, with a relationship-led approach.
Alongside these core services, you’ll have multiple additional service lines (Financial Planning by TaxAssist, Tax Consulting by TaxAssist and Payroll by TaxAssist) that you can introduce to clients and then refer to our dedicated teams of specialists at our support office to undertake the service delivery – helping you create multiple revenue streams for your business.
Our technical team operate a helpdesk, as well as delivering regulatory updates for your team, and we provide specialist support and mentoring for you as the owner. You’ll always be able to access the advice you need, whenever you need it.
Your role – and our role
As a TaxAssist franchisee you are in business for yourself, but not by yourself.
The goal is for you to work on the business rather than in it. That way, you’re growing an asset as well as your income.
You’ll spend your time growing your business attracting new clients and leading your team of loyal staff. We’ll guide you every step of the way to maximise both your income and asset value, all you need to do is follow the proven model – just like hundreds of people have before you.
Think of us as your back-office support team, with years of experience helping people start and grow their accounting firm.

TaxAssist launches new advertising campaign highlighting 'We can do more for you'
The new national video campaign will run on YouTube and selected social media channels, reinforcing that it can do more for clients through its extensive network of local offices across the UK.
The campaign showcases the strength of TaxAssist as a national brand with local reach, highlighting the full scope of accountancy and tax services available to clients through its nationwide network of shops and offices. It also focuses on one of the key benefits of working with TaxAssist Accountants: giving clients more time back to spend with their families and on the things that matter most, rather than worrying about tax and accountancy.
Kelly Chick, Director of Group Brand and Marketing at TaxAssist Accountants, said: “We regularly run national and regional marketing campaigns and continually evolve our marketing strategy. We want to ensure the brand remains highly visible in an increasingly competitive marketplace. Our network of branded TaxAssist shops plays a vital role in ensuring clients and potential clients recognise and trust the brand wherever they see it.
“Search engine algorithms and the AI search landscape are constantly changing, and with growing competition across the industry, strong brand visibility has never been more important. This new YouTube campaign will put the TaxAssist brand in front of hundreds of thousands of people nationwide. At a time when advertising costs are increasing, this highly targeted campaign allows us to reach specific audiences and regions to drive digital and local leads for our accountants.”
The TaxAssist Accountants network is supported by a dedicated team of marketing experts who manage brand promotion across a wide range of platforms and deliver ongoing brand awareness activity on behalf of franchisees. This is complemented by a proven client lead generation service, with all leads fully qualified before being passed to the relevant local office to support sustainable practice growth.
Being part of a franchise network is the best of both worlds... I get to make my own decisions about the business and yet we are part of this massive network made up of the very supportive franchisor, directors and staff, as well as the other franchisees
I am happy to report that I now have over 400 clients, which generate an income and flexibility in how I work that could not have been achieved on the corporate ladder I stepped off. Further, I know that the practice will be a valuable asset for my future when the time is right. The shops, along with my own marketing, and the initiatives of the TaxAssist Support Centre Team, have proved invaluable in helping me to build a substantial practice.
