The Local Bookkeeper
TM is a professional bookkeeping franchise that
aims to create the UK’s first national brand of bookkeepers
by delivering 100% customer satisfaction. The concept has been
developed by the founders of the UK's leading British Franchise
Association affiliated accountants, Franaccounts, who are
specialists in providing accounting services to the
franchisees.
To become a franchisee you must be qualified or
certified by any of the accounting bodies including the Institute
of Certified Bookkeepers, or experienced (QBE) to become a
franchisee.
The whole business model has been engineered to
deliver value and complete customer satisfaction to our customers.
Our client acquisition and retention programmes are unique and
provides our franchisees with the ability to grow at a rate of
30%-100% per year on new fees.
"Within 7 weeks of setting up I had over
£35,000 worth of new business. I still have over 8 leads to
follow up. I have already employed my first bookkeeper to help me
with the new business" - The Local Bookkeeper Horsham - Franchisee,
Kelly Derham
Our processes and procedures are tested and save
you time and effort, as well as delivering value by offering a
customer centric service which is aimed at providing 100% quality

Each franchisee will have a unique brand identity
that has been designed so it is part of the network but is
localised to franchise territory.
