Bankside 300, Peachman Way Broadland Business Park, Norwich NR7 0WF
Small and medium sized businesses are the backbone of the economy – but the owners of those businesses remain chronically under-served. The loss of the traditional bank manager and local business adviser has left a gap that TaxAssist franchisees are filling, as people seek a trusted personal advisor for their business and personal financial affairs. We’ll position you as the go-to advisor for everything a business owner needs…
Practice principals manage their team to deliver a suite of accounting, tax, financial and advisory services to local business owners, contractors and freelancers, from welcoming high street shops.

Technology
Technology is revolutionising accounting, streamlining processes and in some cases replacing human interaction. For some operators, that’s a threat to livelihoods. For TaxAssist principals, it’s a huge opportunity. Our exclusive partnerships with renowned suppliers will give you access to technology and systems that help you stand out in your local business community.
Your role with TaxAssist Accountants
You’ll spend your time as business owner growing your practice by attracting new clients and managing a team of staff members. We’ll help you hire and train the right people so you can focus on achieving your ambitions. The goal is to work on the business rather than in it. That way, you’re growing an asset as well as your income.
Most principals join us with a recognised accountancy qualification; however, you do not need to have worked in practice and you don’t have to be an accountant to join us. Owners who are not qualified accountants will come from senior management positions within the banking/financial services sectors and will need to show existing financial acumen.
The franchise fee is £19,950 + VAT. Your total investment will depend on your location and working capital requirements.
After five years you should be aiming for a turnover of at least £300,000. Some principals are happy to maintain this level, comfortable with both the income generated and being relatively light touch on the business; while others continue to work full-time and push past £500,000 turnover.
We expect a third of your turnover to cover staff costs, another third to cover running costs, and the final third to be profit. Those owners embracing efficiencies can increase profitability to 40%.
Investment & Returns
Don’t worry if any of these services are new to you – we have a technical helpdesk and specialist teams for you and your team to access the advice you need, whenever you need it. Think of us as your back office support team, with years of experience helping people run and grow their accounting firm.

Key benefits of joining TaxAssist Accountants
“The support centre has expanded our services into payroll, tax consulting and financial planning. We’ll be able to get some commission from that every single year. We’ll build up a higher value of our business, and a larger multiple when it comes time to exit the business.” - Jaz Grewal, TaxAssist franchisee
