Since growing to a team of 6 in under 2.5 years, First Class Accounts – Canberra Central<\/a>, ACT, owner Nikki Douglass says being a franchisee is the best decision she has ever made.<\/h3>\n

With ongoing opportunities for business development<\/a> and the First Class Accounts\u2019 reputation to back it up, Nikki has all the confidence she needs to sell her business and bookkeeping skills.<\/p>\n

Below, Nikki shares her experience as a First Class Accounts franchise owner, highlighting the support she has received<\/p>\n

What is your favourite part of being a First Class Accounts franchisee?<\/h5>\n

The brand is so recognisable. You are part of a family, and the support from First Class Accounts\u2019 General Manager Deb Stanton proves that.<\/p>\n

Deb is only ever a phone call away to lend her knowledge. That kind of support gives me all the confidence I need to operate my business.<\/p>\n

My biggest clients have come through the head office website because they know the brand. The First Class Accounts brand is out there in such a big way.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have everything I want. I am my own boss, but I\u2019m not on my own. First Class Accounts cares about their franchisees. You are not just some anonymous franchisee; instead, everyone knows who you are.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

What training have you received?<\/h5>\n

Upon starting the business, myself and a group of four other new franchisees went through a very comprehensive training program and then from \u2018go-live day\u2019 First Class Accounts gave me a business coach for the first 12 weeks.<\/p>\n

They also helped me set up a marketing plan, which was a great tool. It gave me the confidence to sell my services, to get out there and talk to strangers.<\/p>\n

One of the great things about First Class Accounts is that you can constantly level up your skillsets and training.<\/p>\n

We also have quarterly training sessions and two conferences every year where we get together with the whole franchise group. It\u2019s amazing to network with other like-minded people who are experiencing the same success and growth that I am.<\/p>\n

We also have access to other franchisees for training and support. Everyone is always so helpful and generous with their time.<\/p>\n

What does the technology at First Class Accounts offer you?<\/h5>\n

Technology is such an integral part of our business. As a First Class Accounts business, we often have direct priority access to known and popular software providers<\/a>, but also are often introduced to new technologies<\/a> as they enter the market.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s exciting to be at the forefront of what tech companies are developing to make our lives easier as bookkeepers. Through the brand recognition, I am often contacted by software providers to assist with testing and using products before they are publicly released.<\/p>\n

We are constantly being provided with the opportunity to learn about the latest technology and innovation to keep us current and lead the bookkeeping industry.<\/p>\n

Deb Stanton, General Manager, does a fantastic job at negotiating great industry rates for us all. That\u2019s a real bonus, and just another great perk of being a franchise partner.<\/p>\n\n\n
