While banks and other financial services continue to close branches across the UK, TaxAssist Accountants has been seeing high street growth.
Karl Sandall, chief executive director of TaxAssist Accountants, which has more than 200 shops across the UK, says having a high street presence remained a key part of the company’s strategy to get its name known and attract business.
“For us, having our shops in central locations means our services are easily accessible to local business owners, who are able to drop in and discuss their bookkeeping and accountancy needs during their working day,” he says.
“As banks and other financial services companies are closing their high street branches because of falling usage and more transactions undertaken online, we’re seeing a rise in clients who still like to visit our offices and talk with an individual about their needs.”
