 | What the Franchisors Say "Success Tax Professionals is unique in that not only do we provide intensive on-going levels of support and training throughout an accountant's business career with us, but we also have a reviewable one-to one business and technical development plan with each member. We then co-work together to achieve the goals in the plan and move forward. The need to continue to learn, grow and improve never stops." Quote: Tracy James "It
is tremendously satisfying for us when we see accountants within our
network grow and make the changes necessary to achieve their career
path. We continue to present options to our members which can see them
advance faster than they anticipated, providing they are prepared
and able to take advantage of these opportunities. We never force any
opportunity, but we do 'recommend', and we do help members evaluate how
the opportunity might be accessible by them. Some business plans with target
dates of two years have been accomplished in the first 12 months or
less. Support and options are critical factors." Quote: Darren Gleeson "Our members business needs vary. I have a strong focus on planning, review and improvement and in my company role I work with our practices to focus on continuous improvement. It is not acceptable to purely acquire a formal qualification and be in practice. Nor is it realistic to believe that once Registered Tax Agent status is achieved that this alone will result in a viable practice. Modern service delivery requires accountants to add value, be proactive and reinvent themselves as necessary to keep up with change and the growing expectations of the consumer." Quote: Tracy James "We are careful about who joins Success Tax Professionals as this is a long term work arrangement between ourselves as the Franchisor and the Franchisee. We make sure that applicants understand the criteria and commitment involved. Our Franchise is designed for accountants or other suitably qualified applicants who share our direction and want to contribute to the brand and build a true accounting practice - not purely seasonal and not home based, although initially these are available options for up to two years when managing or developing a small client base or phasing in."
