Within the list of leading names in the UK accounting industry, TaxAssist Accountants has moved up to number 24 in the 2015 Accountancy Age Top 50+50 survey, up one place from 2014 and up an impressive ten places since first entering the survey back in 2010. TaxAssist is the only accountancy franchise in the Top 50.
The report shows that most leading accountancy firms across the UK have continued to grow their fees, including TaxAssist who reported a 9% year-on-year revenue increase and a growing nationwide and international franchise network which saw the company recoup almost £30m in income – £2.49m more than in 2014.
The survey’s partner, Wolters Kluwer, believes an increasing use of technology has underpinned the growth of the UK’s leading accountancy firms, whilst reducing overheads and improving efficiency.
Karl Sandall CEO of The TaxAssist Group comments “Clearly we’re very pleased with this new position and shows we continue to move the business forward in the right direction for the mutual benefit of the TaxAssist network, the Directors and Shareholders, of which our franchisees themselves form a considerable percentage.
I would certainly echo the comments of Wolters Kluwer. At TaxAssist we have recognised that emerging technologies have revolutionised the way we work and will continue to do so. As a franchisor we research, evaluate, recommend and train the network on new technologies that we believe will be of benefit. We’ve used technology to take the guesswork out of managing financial business records. Our online accounts software organises all key aspects of financial reporting; from sales and purchases to customers and suppliers.”
