If you buy into our dns franchise, on day one you will experience all the benefits of being attached to the dns group of companies. As we are relatively small compared to our competitors in the accountancy franchise space, we believe our bespoke approach will make you feel important and not just a number.
We have 14 successful operating franchises to date. Our intention is to expand slowly, with the right support in place, to grow lots more successful franchises we can be proud of. We took on our first franchise in 2013 and have since spent years developing and updating our processes. We now operate at an extremely high level and have a successful roll out model. It’s a very straightforward strategy and our new franchises have flourished as a result.
Training and support
We provide you with all the training and back-office support you need to open your practice. We have a unique programme that covers all areas of the accountancy business and have expert trainers to teach you all you need to know including sales and marketing. Our highly skilled and qualified team will hold your hand throughout the start-up process and beyond. We will answer all your questions in the discovery meeting.
Flexible options
As our franchisees are from all different backgrounds with many different requirements we build in flexible bespoke options. You may need help starting up with a payment programme, or alternatively enjoy a 20% discount if you have the means to pay up front. Experienced accountants won’t need as much help on the practice side but if you are not qualified and have a finance background for instance, then you will enjoy a package that includes our excellent in-house accountants that will take on all your clients leaving you free to business develop and grow. If you are interested, you need to book in a discovery meeting to determine what you will need to make your very own franchise work.
We have a huge array of in-house expertise ranging from mortgage advice to bookkeeping or tax returns. We even supply you with your own sophisticated software system (more info below). Don’t worry as we can provide a flexible package to suit your accounting experience, and make sure you receive the support and expertise you need.
Qualified leads
To help get you grow we provide you with strong qualified leads for you to convert as part of your package. Once business starts flowing you can also continue to pay for leads through our fantastic in-house sales team, so you never feel alone in driving your franchise.
Our unique cloud-based software
dns is the only franchise package that offers a cloud-based software as part of your package from day one! We believe this is one of the reasons our franchises have prospered so quickly. Your clients benefit from this crucial tool that will streamline your business in a professional and sophisticated way. More information available in the discovery meeting.
Multiple award winners

Work life Balance
This is one of the best upsides to starting your own practice with dns. A new work life balance can be achieved relatively quickly depending on how much work you put in. If you work hard and generate business fast, you can really reap the benefits financially. However, if you’re looking to be your own boss to cultivate a better work life balance – starting from scratch probably isn’t the best idea. Instead, a dns franchise, with our systems, structures, processes, and reputation already in place, can offer you a superior work life balance from day one.
Why buy a franchise instead of going it alone?
Good question we get asked this all the time.
In short, a franchise business is an opportunity that allows one to start a business by legally using someone else’s expertise. In this case dns franchise has it all packaged and ready to roll out. Use our ideas, processes, and already tried and tested techniques to make a success in half the time it would take you to do it alone. Speak to our franchisees or read the case studies on the website. They will all tell you how painless the process is. It’s not without hard work and determination but they are all thankful they chose the dns franchise option.
The franchise industry now contributes over £15 billion pounds to the UK economy. You’ve probably heard of some big named franchises like McDonalds, Subway and Dominos. dns is one of the great and respected brand names associated with the accountancy world. So, if you decide to join the dns family, you will soon appreciate the kind of springboard we provide in the start-up process.
Yes, you do have to pay for the franchise, but you cut out having to start from scratch. You pay for what you get and in this case that could be 2 years of groundwork. The rest is up to you to develop. Interestingly 90% of franchises report profitability in the first 2 years, compared to 50% of independent businesses going under in the first 2 years.
The beauty of a franchise is that the business model has already been tried, tested and proven. If you want to understand more book in your discovery meeting today.
So what are the next steps
If you think this is the right next step for you then follow the steps below:
Step 1:
Once you have submitted your enquiry form, we will arrange a personal one-to-one Discovery meeting. This is when we will cover the finances, what the opportunity involves and how our franchise network could help you realise your dream. A Discovery Meeting does not indicate that you want to join, it simply ensures you have all the information you need towards making an informed decision.
Step 2:
If we are mutually happy with the discovery meeting the next steps will be an in-depth due diligence on both sides. We will work with you to complete a business plan. Once all of this is in place you will be asked to attend a directors’ interview to discuss your business plan and competitor analysis.

DNS Accountants launches in Scotland
If you’re ready to make a move away from the corporate world and grow your own business, joining an award-winning franchise like dns accountants can give you the skills and support you need to make it happen. With the backing of our established brand and expert team, you can be just like our very first franchisee in Scotland, Bhavin Asher, who is leading the way with his own accountancy office in Aberdeen.
With a number of years in accounts already under his belt, Bhavin worked his way up from assistant roles to Financial Directorship and Chief Finance Officer positions for several large companies. During his time in the industry, he’d become the go-to-man for advice on accounts services outside his normal job, with clients and colleagues approaching him about everything from pensions and mortgage applications, to self-assessment tax returns.
As a result, starting his own practice had been at the back of Bhavin’s mind for several years. With his children growing up and leaving the nest, he realised there was an opportunity for him to make his move. “The time was right for me to be my own boss,” Bhavin told us. “I gained my first three independent clients, through previous connections, but deep down I knew if I was serious about growing, franchising was the fast-track way to do so. Having a look at what was out there, I came across DNS Accountants, who seemed like the right fit to help me achieve this.”
With our tried-and-tested model, DNS Accountants supports people like Bhavin, to give their accountancy practices a head start, by immediately trading under our umbrella. We’ve established a reputation for trustworthiness, which inspires confidence in our customers. By using our innovative approach to client’s accounting needs, and our own cutting-edge cloud-based software, DNS Accountants franchisees can offer their clients a highly sought-after service, with more options and products than they would be able to alone. After all, DNS is not about just providing accounting or tax services, but about offering a full ecosystem of support to Franchisees and their clients.
It was this range of offerings, combined with the opportunity to draw from his own experience in the industry, which really attracted Bhavin: “I’d looked at a few franchises, but I chose DNS Accountants because of their flexibility, and because they offered more services. “When I approached them, they encouraged me to use my experience as a Finance Director to offer services, which other franchisors weren’t open to. DNS Accountants allows me to put my 25 years’ experience to good use.”
As our first Scottish franchisee, we’re particularly looking forward to seeing what Bhavin can build with his new business. As our MD and Founder, Sumit Argawal, put it: “I’m proud to fulfil the dream of opening an office in Scotland. We want to serve the Scottish business community and help small businesses grow with our amazing support and knowledge. We will do everything possible to make our Franchisee in Scotland a success!”
Bhavin is already starting to build his customer-base and is looking forward to achieving his desired growth strategy, with DNS Accountants. “Aberdeen is a small place and DNS Accountants is still new here, so I have a lot of work ahead of me. However, I’d spoken with some of the franchisees in the network before making my decision, and feel confident the services we offer will appeal to SMEs in the area. They’ll be able to come to me, and have everything they need under one roof.
Is it time you built the future you deserve?
As Bhavin says, “If you’re the kind of person who wants to be their own boss, and for whom the sky's the limit, you should definitely go with a franchise like DNS Accountants.”
Contact DNS Accountants today, and start your journey to a better future.
‘I joined DNS as a franchisee in 2015. After visiting the office and speaking to the staff, I was really impressed with the culture of the business and wanted to be part of it. I wanted to grow the business on my own, but also wanted to have the backing and expertise of a large firm who could assist me whenever I needed support. DNS gave me the confidence to work with more demanding clients who I would not have been able to otherwise’
