WHY CHOOSE US
WHY INVEST IN YOUR FUTURE WITH A
JIM’S BOOKKEEPING BUSINESS?
Jim’s Bookkeeping franchise network provides opportunities for accountants and bookkeepers who are looking to experience the freedom of their own business without the hassle or expense that comes with setting up on your own.
In Australia franchising is a trusted, safe and effective business model that provides wonderful possibilities for both franchisees and franchisors.
Jim’s Bookkeeping is also one of the many divisions of Jim’s Group and Jim’s brands are recognised by over 90% of Australian adults. There are over 3600 franchisees in the Jim’s Group network.

Jim’s Bookkeeping has enabled me to work from home, initially around my daughters and partner’s shift-work and now around my partner’s disability. As a non-profit specialist accountant, I found the conversion time for clients was 12 months; with Jim’s I have instant validity.
As a Jim’s Bookkeeper, I feel my return on investment is greater than could be achieved without it. Revenue is consistently above $100k

MESSAGE FROM JIM PENMAN
08
Congratulations on taking your first step towards business ownership with Jim’s Bookkeeping.
I started out in business 28 years ago with only $24 for marketing. It wasn’t easy. I had to build my own brand and develop systems by trial and error and I made a lot of mistakes along the way. Our new Franchisees have it easier. The brand is established and our systems have been tested and improved by over 3,700 franchisees who have come before you. You will be taught how to market your business effectively. We are confident that this will help make your business successful.
The information contained in this brochure will assist you to make the right decision.

JIM'S BOOKKEEPING
SO WHAT IS IN A NAME?
Brand awareness is at the heart of the Jim’s system. For over 25 years Australia has learned to trust and love the name Jim when it is associated with the delivery of a quality based provision of service. Outstanding customer service is at the core of everything we do. The Jim’s Group has an amazing track-record and 100% customer satisfaction guarantee that we abide by. Fundamentally, we know that by ‘wowing’ our clients, no matter who they are, or what the job is, our reputation will allow us to grow! I am sure you can see that Jim’s has come along way since mowing lawns in suburban Victoria, and this is largely due to Jim’s unwavering commitment to customer service.

Your business is in control.
I sold my newspaper delivery business in May 2017. I had worked as an accountant for nearly 10 years before that mostly for Officeworks and Coles Myer and decided to return to accounting but this time working for myself. However, I didn’t know how to get clients, or what training I needed, or how to run an accounting / bookkeeping business. I saw Jim’s Bookkeeping as being the answer and joined in December 2017. They provided me with training and guidance and now just 16 months later I have the foundations of a business which will provide me with a decent financial reward while still allowing me the freedom to work the hours I want. Joining Jim’s Bookkeeping initially costs a lot in terms of the time and effort you need to put in to set up your business, get the necessary training, and grow your client base. The fee you pay to join also isn’t cheap. All that is a small price to pay for the rewards on offer if you are prepared to put in the effort. A little over a year since starting I am earning about what I could if had a job. With the strong growth in my client base I am expecting to double my profit over the next 12 months. This time next year I will be earning far more than I could in a job, working the hours I want to work, and choosing the clients I want to work with. I expect to have an office and staff in 2 or 3 years, which will allow me to grow even faster and earn a lot more money and enjoy a lifestyle far greater than I ever could as an employee. The support and training that Jim’s Bookkeeping has provided me has been far more valuable than the cost.
Jim’s Bookkeeping has a cash flow advisor program which teaches us to help our clients grow their cash flow. I am starting to put in place the tools I need to offer this service to my clients. I am also looking at what other services I can offer. These extra services will allow me to grow my income and profit even faster than I have been and provide me the opportunity to work less hours for more money. Jim’s Bookkeepers If you are thinking of starting a bookkeeping usiness then I would recommend you consider joining Jim’s Bookkeeping and becoming part of the Jim’s family
