If you join us as a new start franchisee or you are converting your existing practice to TaxAssist Accountants, you will need to be a qualified accountant with a practising certificate. We can advise you on obtaining a practising certificate if that’s something you aren’t familiar with.
If you are purchasing a TaxAssist franchise resale (a practice that’s already within the TaxAssist network) and you are not an accountant with a practising certificate, then having a financial/senior management position within the banking or financial services sectors or proven business background is essential. You must attend the initial training course and employ a practice manager who is a qualified accountant to manage the day-to-day operations of the business.
Whichever way you join us, as a franchisee your focus will be on advising and supporting clients and growing the business, while the technology and your team deliver the services on offer.
What qualifications do I need to join TaxAssist Accountants?
The majority of the accountants who join the network have a recognised accountancy qualification, typically ACA, ACCA, CTA, AAT, ATT, CIMA, AFA, AIA, CIOT, CPAA, IAB, ICAS, IFA and have a mix of industry and practice backgrounds.
What makes a successful TaxAssist Accountant?
To be a successful franchisee, you will need to demonstrate:
- Commercial awareness
- Business acumen
- Energy to grow an accountancy practice
- Motivation to support a team and deliver a first-class service
- Good communication skills
- Discipline to follow a proven, successful business model
We have a number of case studies for you to view the range of people who have joined TaxAssist Accountants, from those who have built a practice from the ground up - which can be found here, to those that have purchased a franchise resale - here.
Running an accountancy practice requires hard work and commitment. Although we provide the systems, business model and experience to help you run the business effectively, the model also relies on you to make it work by introducing your own personality, energy and initiative.
