First Class Accounts - Bookkeeping and Franchising Blog

First Class Financial Group is proud to announce the launch of First Class Capital, a new division of the company. First Class Capital is conceptually similar to "invoice discounting" but entails a number of distinct characteristics to make it a truly unique and compelling product.

Congratulations to Serge Crismale of First Class Accounts Picton who has won the 2012 Franchisee of the Year award. Serge was declared as the winner at the annual First Class Financial Group Conference Gala Dinner. Held in the famous beach resort town of Hua Hin, Thailand, this was a landmark conference as it was the first held overseas by our network. The announcement was met by rapturous applause from the crowd of 140 that included franchisees, partners, event sponsors and national office staff.

The award caps of a highly successful year for Serge after he was named Runner Up in the NSW Franchisee Community Service Award in June, whereby Franchise Council of Australia acknowledged Serge's contributions to his local community through his work as Treasurer and now Senior Deputy Captain at the Lakesland Bush Fire Brigade.

Congratulations to Debbie Stanton, who has been named the 2012 Field Support Manager of the Year at the Queensland and Northern Territory Excellence in Franchising Awards. Debbie was announced as the winner at an awards dinner in Brisbane on July 21.

Organised by the Franchise Council of Australia, the awards are designed to recognise, showcase and reward outstanding work in the franchising sector.

At First Class Accounts, our slogan is 'more than just bookkeepers' and our aim is to assist our clients by adding value above expectation. This is one of the many things that seperates us from our competitors.

As a network, we partner with a number of service providers in order to maximise the benefits to our clients. One such partner is Ballast who have kindly provided us with some helpful tips to minimise tax in 2011/2012.
