OPPORTUNITIES

Become a Business Owner

Bookkeeper / Management Accountant

Location: Across the UK
Salary: £15,000-£100,000 (whatever you earn)

The Company:

The Local Bookkeeper is a leading national bookkeeping and financial management firm. 

The Local Bookkeeper is rapidly expanding via franchising, because of the increased demand from small businesses, to have a better understanding of their finances, due to recent economic downturn and possible recession.

This is an exciting opportunity for talented and skilled accounting and financial professionals to run their own business as a franchisee of The Local Bookkeeper. 

The Local Bookkeeper’s goal is to revolutionise the bookkeeping industry by creating the UK’s first national commercial brand of professional bookkeepers and financial professionals.

Our service is more than bookkeeping, we are providing a smarter and more intelligent way of delivering financial transparency for small businesses. The service has the benefits, similar to those of the client having a scalable in-house account department, but without the costs and HR issues.

The Local Bookkeeper provides a selection of services including bookkeeping, management accounts, payroll and credit control to provide full financial management of a business’s finances, which historically, has never been offered, by a national brand to 4.3 million small and medium sized businesses. The revolution has begun!       

The Local Bookkeeper will be filling the massive void, where many accountants and existing unqualified bookkeepers are not meeting the expectations and needs of small-to-medium sized businesses across the UK.

The Opportunity:

This is a truly outstanding opportunity for qualified or/and experienced accounting/financial professionals to be part of the biggest revolution in the bookkeeping industry.

You will be the owner of your own business that will specialise in helping the small businesses to manage their finances allowing them to grow. You will benefit from having financial security, working to a proven and tested business model and an opportunity to be your own boss with the support of a national expert in this field.   

The Local Bookkeeper will provide you with a full week’s training to teach you the business model which has been developed and tested over the past 12 years.

How about clients? You will also receive 15 appointments (in some cases up to 70+ total leads) on the launch of your business and full marketing support on an ongoing basis as well leads from national marketing campaigns. You will receive ongoing technical and business advice to assist you in developing your business.

You will be responsible for:
