The Global Franchise Awards 2021 recognise excellence in the franchise industry and celebrate the brands that are working hardest to advance the cause of international franchising.
Karl Sandall, Group Chief Executive, said: “Being shortlisted as the Best White-Collar Franchise at the Global Franchise Awards is a huge achievement in itself, and gives the TaxAssist Accountants brand huge kudos as we expand our successful model internationally.
“We are always proud of the exceptional levels of support we provide to our franchisees. However, throughout last year the Support Centre really pulled out all the stops to ensure our accountants had the guidance and support they needed, to help and advise their clients through the pandemic.
“Accounting and Advisory services have been needed liked never before and are highly valued by clients as we navigate our way through the economic recovery. As such our local, highly visible and relationship-based practices will continue to play a major role in supporting businesses across the globe.
“Enquiries and franchisee recruitment levels remain strong and we see many opportunities for global growth ahead.”
James Fell, Editor of Global Franchise Magazine, said: “Every year that we run the Global Franchise Awards, we’re consistently gobsmacked by the quality on display. That was definitely the case this year – our entrants delivered, and then some. Not only did we receive a record number of entries, but the calibre of entry was profoundly impressive.”
