Why the demand in TaxAssist Accountants?
The small business market is huge in the UK.

According to the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, over 99% of businesses were Small or Medium sized in 2017 and 96% were micro-businesses employing 0-9 employees.

Every small business needs to have an annual set of accounts prepared. Very few business people have the knowledge or inclination to prepare their own accounts, hence the ever-increasing demand for accountancy services.

“After the successful establishment of my first office, I am planning to expand my territory and open two more outlets. I am also planning to invest in new territories around the area by opening more shops within three years.”
