TaxAssist Accountants franchisees and staff celebrate diploma success

13 franchisees and senior practice staff have graduated from the TaxAssist Training Academy’s management and leadership course.

Run over two years, the bespoke LEAD diploma course, which is offered to both TaxAssist Accountants franchisees and senior staff, develops the skills required to be a leader and build and manage an effective team.

This is the second group of staff and franchisees to complete LEAD, with the first group of 25 graduating in 2017.

Samantha Skyring, senior training and technical communications manager at TaxAssist, says: “To successfully build a practice, you need to have the skills and knowledge to successfully build and manage a team of staff.

“This is important in the early days as a franchisee begins to establish their business and equally important to mature franchises with an eye on exit strategies and succession planning.

“This bespoke course continues to be very popular with everyone in the network, who can see the value it adds to the running of their practice.”

TaxAssist’s national network of independent accountants work specifically with small businesses.
