- To create an Australia wide network of dedicated Ledgers Bookkeeping professionals who will provide friendly, high quality personal services, support and training to small businesses.
- To be recognised as the Australian bookkeeping business that Accountants and other Professional Advisors think of first when it comes time to recommend a bookkeeper to their clients.
- To consistently add value to our clients by ensuring that a trusted bookkeeper with qualifications and experience work on their accounts, so that they do “get it right” the first time.
All Business owners - who need on-site and remote bookkeeping and financial accounts service, support and training.
More and more small businesses are now relying on the availability of up to date financial information to make essential day to day decisions to ensure the success of their business. Typically, specialised in house bookkeeping and financial accounts expertise from office personnel is very limited so more and more businesses are turning to outsourcing, and high on the list of outsource work is quality bookkeeping and financial accounts services, support, technical back up, etc.
The Business of the Franchise Owner
A Principal – Single Primary Franchisee, operating a mobile service from a home office
A Practice – Principal Franchisee, operating the franchise from a Business Centre, with 2 Associates – ie qualified staff to handle the bookkeeping service work and as required a support person to handle the office administration and scheduling
A Firm – Principal Franchisee, operating the franchise from a Business Centre, with 4 Associates – ie qualified staff to handle the bookkeeping service work and some support people to handle the office administration and scheduling.
A strong feature of our business model is the hands on use of our Head Office executives (with their specialist skills) in each local region to assist to co-ordinate franchisee activities, determine local factors that affect franchisees, arrange meetings and training courses and generally be a conduit for communication throughout the Group.
