Already in Practice? No problem! DNS Accountants Franchise Welcomes new Franchise Partner to Warwickshire
Whether you are starting out in your accounting career or have an existing practice DNS Accountants Franchise can help support you with your growth aspirations. We are delighted to welcome our latest franchise partner Kate Fisher who has joined DNS with an existing practice.
We are thrilled to introduce you to our latest franchise Partner Kate, who is joining us in Warwickshire. Kate Fisher is a fully qualified Accountant with a great deal of experience and bundles of enthusiasm. She has been running her practice since 1997 and has already built a reputation locally for outstanding customer service. Hear below why Kate decided to join the DNS Accountants Network.
Q: You are a fully qualified Accountant and already run a successful business, so why invest in a DNS Franchise?
A: The Stratford-upon-Avon/Warwickshire and surrounding areas territory I now have access to as a Franchisee is there waiting for me! There are a high percentage of tech and science companies out there in this area waiting for me and a hugely lucrative tourism industry which has been devastated by the coronavirus pandemic. I predict that many businesses will benefit from my services and my plan is to let them know how.
I now I have access to the “DNS machine” – a fully supportive operational construct that I can exploit and work within, which will help me to locate leads and turn them into new business, but will also benefit my clients enormously. I am ambitious, but there is only so much time in the day, and the costs of marketing and turning warm leads to hot sales and cross sales is something I would have to invest huge amounts of time and money into to reap the rewards. DNS makes all of this part of a very attractive bundle.
Q: You mention that being part of a known “brand” was something that attracted you to DNS Accountants Franchise, can you explain why you think this is important?
A: My practice has been going since 1997 and is well-known locally, but although I get quite a number of word-of-mouth referrals I cannot call myself a “brand”. To me, the brand part is very important: DNS has an obligation to deliver to its Franchisees what it says it will, just as my being part of that “brand” means that I am obliged to provide my clients with what the DNS Accountants Franchise stands for. The ongoing support that the DNS Franchise offering provides includes the educative ethos that DNS is well known for, which means I will have access to information, training and support on industry changes as they happen (nearly daily at present), which I can feed to my clients on a need-to-know basis. As part of a bigger brand, I will also be able to grow my practice faster, but I know that growing your practice, even with cutting-edge technologies, means that you could become overwhelmed at certain times of the year, cut corners, and find yourself in a really tight spot. DNS provides an outsourcing arm, so I can take on more clients responsibly, knowing that I can support them fully by outsourcing the tasks I can’t manage personally or can’t take on because I’m not sufficiently confident to take on certain highly complex tasks myself.
Q: On a personal level, you have grown-up children and a spouse who also runs a successful landscaping business, how do they feel about your new venture?
A: My family is very supportive. They know that I’m always professional, very committed to what I do, and that I make it my business to be knowledgeable and bend over backwards to help my clients. Take my husband’s landscaping business – he’s fully aware that the advice I’ve offered and the way I’ve managed his accounts have helped to make his business a success. It’s the same with our children, they’re grown-up now, but they have a good attitude to their civil duty to pay their taxes, work within the rules, give as well as take, etc. This is something else that attracted me to DNS: As a business of course it needs to make a profit, but attention to the welfare and compliance of its customers is reflected in the carrot-not-the-stick sort of business ethos DNS projects.
