Testimonials

  • Hannah Campbell (TaxAssist Accountants Leith, Musselburgh, Dalkeith and Fairmilehead)

    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

  • Paul Simpson (TaxAssist Accountant Market Harborough, Lutterworth and Blaby)

    I realised that I needed the support of a franchise environment to allow me to develop and grow the business quickly. Having all the processes and procedures in place make starting a new business much simpler.

  • Alex Smith, TaxAssist Accountants Plymouth and Peverell

    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.

  • Lloyd Evans (TaxAssist Accountant Wolverhampton and Kingswinford)

    I looked at a variety of businesses within franchising but none of them gave me that spark until I looked at TaxAssist Accountants. I felt I could use my experience gained from working within a professional accountancy practice, and I very much enjoyed the buzz associated with helping small businesses.

  • Vince Dalaimo

    The support provided by TaxAssist is second to none! I can't stress how important it has been to helping me grow my business. I didn't come from an accountancy practice background so relied quite heavily on the support provided from the outset. Help is given both on the technical side of accounts / tax, as well as business development and ideas for growing your business and raising fees. I have found the franchisor always striving to move forward and to continue to deliver a better service year on year.

  • Roger Mills

    Being a TaxAssist franchisee gives me a strong sense of professional achievement and dependable financial security.

  • John Mayer

    If you follow the model, there is enormous potential for growth. Much depends on the attitude, ambition and business acumen of each franchisee. The first few years can be very challenging, but once you get through that period, growth and cash flow gets easier. You need to take a holistic approach to managing the business, which gets easier when you get to a point that allows you to recruit good administrative and technical staff. You need to work on, not in the business. This means you need to push very hard in the early years. Get this right, and success is pretty assured.

  • Alex Smith, TaxAssist Accountants Franchisee

    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.

  • Russell Charles

    Having been in practice for 17 years before joining TaxAssist, I only attended two of the training weeks. Both were excellent. I am often asked why we decided to join TaxAssist after so many years in practice. Working as a sole practitioner can be a very lonely existence. Put simply, everything you need is available. The business plan, the brand, the marketing and the technical support.

  • Brian Alexander

    Being a TaxAssist franchisee has been an excellent choice for me. I have just completed 10 years and have signed on for a further 10. Following the advice and encouragement from the franchisor, I am achieving a great work/life balance whilst earning a decent living and building an asset that will fund my retirement.

  • Paul Chillman

    There is always ongoing support available from the support centre. The twice-yearly annual training sessions are a great help, but the technical support is also highly valued.

  • Peter Norfolk

    My business grows during most months of the year, but there is still a huge potential pool of clients that I have not been able to reach. I chose TaxAssist because I wanted to run my own business using the numerate skills that I had. I could never have achieved this without taking on a franchise. Thanks heavens I chose TaxAssist Accountants!
