New National Bookkeeping Franchise Launched - Only The Best Need Apply

 

The bookkeeping revolution begins, only the best bookkeepers required!

A business opportunity has been launched this month for the thousands of bookkeeping businesses across the country to join the nation’s first professional bookkeeping franchise initiative, with the aim of removing the sales and marketing headache experienced by many start-up businesses.

The ground-breaking scheme being unveiled will offer trained and qualified bookkeeping professionals, who might be already trading as bookkeepers, with the chance to develop their existing business. This opportunity will offer a proven method of developing their business, enabling a better work/life balance and other benefits associated with the UK’s first national brand of bookkeepers. The training and support will be underpinned by the knowledge and skills acquired by the directors of a national accountancy firm.

These franchisees will offer essential bookkeeping, management accounts, payroll support, credit control and many other support services at the highest standard; all of which are so desperately needed by small business owners across the United Kingdom.

Andrew Small, director for the revolutionary scheme, said: "We have one mission, to create the UK's first national brand of bookkeepers. Over the past 12 years we have developed a business model that allows our franchisees to grow their business while at the same time maintaining high client retention and delivering a unique customer experience that creates value and customer satisfaction."

Fellow director Mike Simpson commented: "It is an extraordinary opportunity for qualified bookkeepers to be make a real success of their business, have more flexible working hours meaning that those holidays are now possible! The Local Bookkeeper franchise even comes with over 20 hot leads from business owners who require our services so you are up-and-running immediately."

"And small and medium-sized businesses up and down the country will also benefit from the initiative as they will have access to a nationally recognised brand known for the excellence in bookkeeping services which is also able to help with the mounting red tape and time constraint issues that all small businesses experience."

Bookkeepers who sign up for The Local Bookkeeper will be, or will become, members of the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers. All franchisees receive a franchise package aimed at adding or developing a business with over £70,000 in gross fees by Year 3, a localised brand and a website to generate new business, marketing support in developing the business, as well as a string of quality control systems and procedures which are all aimed at delivering a superior service.

In addition, SMEs who use The Local Bookkeeper franchisees will benefit from access to a range of financial and administrative services, consistently high standards – thanks to stringent quality controls – and competitive costs.
