FRANCHISE
RECRUITMENT PROCESS

01

We’re looking for people just like you

Like all business opportunities you need to reassure yourself and your advisors that you have fully investigated the business. To be sure that you are aware of the mutual obligations that exist in a bookkeeping franchise business it is highly recommended that you seek independent legal and business advice during your investigations. We will happily make ourselves available to discuss any matters or respond to any questions your advisors may have. Bookkeeping franchises charge entry fees based on the value of the brand (how well recognised it is) and the value of the information that will be imparted (how much help you will receive).

These fees are not generally linked to a success factor because the core element in any business success is the commitment of the business operator. This means Jim’s Bookkeeping needs to select franchise candidates rather than take just anyone who comes along. We need to be assured that every Jim’s Bookkeeper can maintain the business performance standards we require as a professional network. So, before you sign anything or pay us a single cent we both need to be confident that this is the right step for you.
