"I discussed with many of my franchisor colleagues the requirements for a fully integrated accountancy service for their networks," says Karl Sandall, TaxAssist Accountants Chief Executive. "Franchisors told me they needed many things for their networks. The competence of a large nationally known firm of Chartered Accountants, Baker Tilly, with proven state of the art systems, providing tailored packages reflecting the various work preferences and abilities of franchisees together with flexibility of the needs of the franchisor, is a key requirement."
