TaxAssist Accountants has continued its nationwide franchise expansion with the opening of its 90th shop front. John Thomas, who owns and operates TaxAssist Accountants Newport, has opened the 90th shop front.

John joined TaxAssist Accountants, which provides tax and accountancy service to small and medium sized businesses, in January this year. He said: "When I joined TaxAssist Accountants I immediately saw the benefits of being based in a shop front. I spoke with other franchise owners that made the move and all the positive things they told me was backed up by the statistical evidence. I knew I was required to be in a shop front within three years so I decided to go into a shop front as soon as possible to save myself the cost and aggravation to having to move in a couple of years. Since moving into my shop front the difference to my business has been extraordinary with business literally walking though the door."

TaxAssist Accountants developed the shop front concept with the aim of attracting local small sized business owners with a fresh, modern and stylish look. The company currently has 165 franchise areas awarded, over half of which operate from shop front premises, and is looking for suitable franchise owner candidates to expand the brand further.

Candidates do not need to have any formal accountancy qualifications as full training is given, however they must have a relevant career background, be self-motivated, disciplined, ambitious, hardworking and keen to build a substantial successful business.
