Franaccounts launches the UK's newest professional bookkeeping franchise...

Franaccounts, leading bfa affiliated accountants will remove the bookkeeping and accounting headache for thousands of UK businesses when it launches the nation’s first professional bookkeeping franchise initiative this month with the goal to put professional standards across the UK.

The ground-breaking scheme is being unveiled by Franaccounts, who have been servicing the franchise industry as leading accountancy firm for many years and have a wealth of experience in both advising franchisors and franchisees on accounting and franchising. The opportunity is open to only trained and qualified financial professionals including bookkeepers, accountants, management accountants, accountants and bankers. After joining The Local Bookkeeper all franchises will be trained in our business model aimed at delivering a return on investment within the first year, with use of localised brand, website, marketing support, as well as a string of quality control systems and procedures.

These franchisees will then offer essential bookkeeping, management accounts, payroll support, credit control and many other support services, which are so desperately needed by small business owners to they can manage their business, to local companies.

Andrew Small, sales and operations director for the revolutionary scheme, said: “Our franchise initiative is a UK first and we are calling the scheme The Local Bookkeeper because that is exactly what it offers – the chance to run your own business and work as a trusted financial advisor to local firms with the support of a national brand.
Fellow director Mike Simpson commented: “It is a fantastic opportunity for trained and/or qualified bookkeepers and accountants to be really successful, work flexible hours and be their own boss. The Local Bookkeeper franchise even comes pretty much ready made client base 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 expert business advisors on their doorstep who are able to help with the mounting red tape and time issues which all small businesses experience.“

Bookkeepers are used by millions of businesses each year to balance their books and ensure basic requirements, such as payroll, tax payments and VAT returns, are carried out correctly. Every business needs a bookkeeper!

They are particularly crucial to Small and Medium sized enterprises (SMEs) - many of which don’t have a finance department – and they can even help small companies make considerable savings, a well maintained set of books will save money on the end of year accountancy bill.

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.
