REVOLUTIONISING THE BOOKKEEPING INDUSTRY
The Local Bookkeeper on the Lookout for Talented Franchisees
The Local Bookkeeper is a franchise organisation on a mission - to revolutionise the way bookkeepers do business - and it is on the lookout for talented franchisees to join the campaign.
The Local Bookkeeper currently has nine signed UK franchisees and is in active discussions with several hundred experienced and talented individuals. The brand is also in the process of expanding overseas with international franchisees in Ireland and North America about to come online.
The Local Bookkeeper does far more than it says on the tin. It is in fact a franchised financial management firm, which provides a raft of services that allow SMEs to get a much better understanding of their finances. These services include everything one would expect from traditional bookkeeping, along with management accounts, payroll and credit control, but at an accessible cost for smaller companies.
The Local Bookkeeper’s marketing director, Alex King, explains why this new breed of bookkeeper is so vital to business success: “Many small businesses only find out how well they have been performing when they receive their end of year accounts. Worryingly, this information can be anything up to 18 months out of date and it may well be far too late to make the changes needed to get the business back on track. Particularly in the current economic climate, it is vital you know what’s been happening with your cash flow and costs as recently as possible.
Alex King explains why The Local Bookkeeper is different:
All The Local Bookkeeper's services focus on providing the customer with what we term ‘financial transparency’. By giving insight into the financial drivers of the business and also up-to-date management information, The Local Bookkeeper franchisees equip the business owner with the tools they need to make educated business decisions, not just finger in the air stuff. As you can imagine, this is particularly vital during the current credit crunch.”
He continues: “Through providing ongoing training and updates on changes in practice and legislation to its franchisees, The Local Bookkeeper is revolutionising the bookkeeping/accountancy industry and giving smaller businesses access to management accountancy advantages that are usually only available to far larger organisations.”
Alex King, explains what makes the ideal The Local Bookkeeper franchisee:
“The individual must be talented. We consider ourselves connoisseurs of talent and have a detailed vetting procedure to ensure that The Local Bookkeeper recruits the best franchisees – those not only with financial skills, but with a genuine aptitude for providing a quality service and running their own business.”
Naturally, financial security is also vital to business owners, as King explains: “All franchisees must have a financial or accountancy background or qualifications and pass a CRB check. After all, it’s incredibly important that whoever looks after your books is 100% trustworthy!”
So, if you are ready to join the revolution, The Local Bookkeeper is keen to hear from you! The Local Bookkeeper franchises are available at an initial investment of £13,995 + VAT, which includes; comprehensive, ongoing training; a locally tailored brand identity, (i.e. ‘The Local Bookkeeper, Horsham’); a bespoke website and a guaranteed number of qualified new business leads generated through telemarketing, direct mail and the national marketing campaign.
