"I’ve found the support invaluable. They've given me the tools, experience, knowledge and confidence to go out and do it"
p Vince Dalaimo
“I was a very small cog in a very big wheel and thought there must be more to life,” says Vince. “At the time I was mid-30s, fearless and looking for my next challenge. I had no sales experience, I'd only worked in a corporate environment as an accountant in investment banking, and that's why I turned to franchising. “I didn’t think there would be a
franchise model that matched my skillset so well, but TaxAssist Accountants enables you to build your client base, with the backup of a national brand and the high visibility of shop-front premises. I wish I'd done it sooner. It's definitely something that comes with huge rewards.
“I've found the support of TaxAssist
Accountants invaluable. They have given me the tools, the experience, the knowledge, the software and the confidence to go out and do it.” TaxAssist Accountants has been

very popular with the buoyant small- business target market, which enjoys the friendly, convenient local service. “Clients have really taken to the
concept of a drop-in shop, where they can get all their tax returns, payroll and bookkeeping needs taken care of as they walk in to work or at breaks and lunchtimes. "It means they can concentrate on running their business and increasing their own income and profitability. “Being so accessible on the high street means clients feel free to call throughout the year, not just when the end-of-year accounts are being prepared. In contrast to nearly every other accountant hidden away in back offices, we’re in a prime position. “We attract a real breadth of clients, including IT contractors, consultants for insurance and investment banks, graphic designers and illustrators. We’re particularly attracting established sole traders and limited companies in the financial services and media sectors. UK tax returns for foreign businessmen and women working over here are also in increasing demand. “Now, 17 years on, I have a business
that's worth a lot of money; I'm earning more now than I've ever earned before. I work hard, and it comes with its challenges, but it's very rewarding at the end of the day.” TaxAssist takes on both accountants and business and finance professionals, as TaxAssist franchisees can employ accountants while they concentrate on building their practice. l
