usiness partners Steve Herlihy and Tricia Kingston are launching a new service for small-business clients after acquiring the master franchise
for TaxAssist Accountants in Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory. Keen to increase services within the buoyant small-business sector, Steve and Tricia spotted the opportunity TaxAssist Accountants offers clients to benefit from standardised systems and processes, developments in integrated cloud-based technology, and emerging trends in accounting services.
Steve says: “The small-business sector in Australia includes over two million businesses, employing 40 per cent of the population and representing just under 30 per cent of all industry profits. Our move to franchising offers the ideal vehicle for servicing this broad sector through a network of local offices. “There is no other packaged accounting and tax service for small businesses that offers the unique TaxAssist style of open and welcoming shop front offices, which is why we see the growth opportunity as so significant.” Tricia adds: “With strong support from
the TaxAssist Accountants team, combined with a proven franchise model and the marketing power of a global brand, we have a fantastic opportunity that will attract accountants keen to establish their own practice under the TaxAssist Accountants name.” Steve and Tricia will open a pilot
TaxAssist Accountants shop in Perth, while starting to promote the franchise opportunity within their development area. Their base will be the support centre for a network of franchisees, who will receive technical, marketing and business development training and support.
