AAT qualified Tej Gawera joined TaxAssist Accountants in 2011 and now operates from shops in Leicester East and Syston. Here he explains more about his decision to join the network, his thoughts on the support provided and what he has achieved so far. 

"When I first read about TaxAssist Accountants I was intrigued. What attracted me was the business model - servicing small business clients from a shop, and the training, back-up, and kudos of being part of a national brand.”

Tej opened his first shop on Uppingham Road in Leicester shortly after joining the franchise, and it has more than proven its worth. So much so, that he opened a second shop in Melton Road, Syston in Leicestershire in 2017. Tej runs his shops with the assistance of 11 members of staff. 

“I can’t emphasise enough the importance of establishing a good quality team of staff to assist you” said Tej, “it would have been impossible to get where I am today without the loyalty and hard work provided by my team.

“The shops have proven to be a great draw and are now firmly established. I receive a good number of referrals, which reflects my emphasis on first class service provision. We now look after 700 clients and we’re really proud of the reputation the business has built up, which includes over 240 great online client reviews." 

Tej is full of praise for the Norwich-based Support Team: "They have been first class and have delivered everything that was promised. I’m happy with the level of training and support, both technical and marketing that I have received.

“I’m really looking forward to the future and expanding my business further. TaxAssist really hasn’t disappointed, and I’d highly recommend it.”
