James Mattam, Group Business Development Director, said: “Clearly 2020 has been an unprecedented year but we’ve all rolled up our sleeves and worked hard to support our clients. The fantastic results in this survey, we believe, are a direct result of going above and beyond in our support to our client base.
“The results highlight the continuing demand for our services and their exceptional value to clients. It also emphasises that our model of working from shop premises is as relevant today as it ever was, in terms of visibility and convenience for our clients. They appreciate the value in the meetings they have with their TaxAssist Accountant and wish for that to continue, albeit in a safe environment.
“A third of respondents stated that they will need more support from their accountant in the future, this demonstrates the vital role that accountants play in their clients’ businesses. It reinforces that need for business owners to have meaningful and valuable advisory meetings with their accountant.
“As our Regional Meetings with franchisees are moving to virtual sessions, we look forward to sharing the detailed results and analysis of the survey, how we intend to respond to clients’ needs in the current climate and our plans for future support.”
