TURNOVER $201K – WORK FROM HOME
Use your bookkeeping or accounting skills to secure your financial freedom with the full support of this well-known and trusted Shoebox Books and Tax group. Shoebox Books Adelaide West & Modbury is a well-established franchise servicing a solid long-term client base with the potential to grow.
Starting from scratch 10 years ago, the business now has a consistently good income, strong client base, and a full-time employee. There is also scope to become a tax agent with training and support from the franchisor, which would increase your income substantially.
If you are an experienced bookkeeper but not a BAS Agent, you can buy this business and be trained and supported until you are a BAS Agent.
If you are an Accountant and want to become a Tax Agent, Shoebox Books will support, train and supervise you whilst becoming a Tax Agent. You will also have the opportunity to increase some of the bookkeeping clients into tax clients.
Business Highlights:
- There will be continual training and support offered by Shoebox Books
- You are part of a team with a large group of Shoebox franchisees nationally
- The current owner has not been marketing the business for approximately 3 years and has been solely growing the business via word of mouth, due to the client list being where they wanted it to be to sufficiently support them, so the opportunity to grow the business using marketing strategies, with the assistance and support from Head Office is huge
- Shoebox Books Adelaide West & Modbury has been built up with an excellent name and service in both territories
- This franchise services Adelaide West and Modbury areas – Clients are a mix of tradies, small businesses, and not-for-profits. Clients are also on engagement agreements, with a clause they must provide 1 months’ notice if they were to leave
- Most clients are on an automatic monthly direct debit payment for easy, consistent cashflow
- Very supportive and successful National Franchise Group with a good reputation, great systems, ongoing support and training opportunities
- Remote work based at home with support from Shoebox Books Head Office
- Predominately working with Xero clients + MYOB AccountRight and Quickbooks
- Very competent Virtual Employee – definitely an asset, especially whilst the new owner gets to know the business
- No assets being sold with the business
- All franchisees contribute a 3% marketing levy to ensure the brand is strong and recognized nationally. There will also be a “top up marketing campaign” provided, to introduce you to your territories and start your business journey
- There are deadlines to complete BAS’s and other bookkeeping tasks. Keeping this in mind, you will choose when you complete the deadlines. As a result, there is a lot of flexibility in your working day
- Training is provided by Head Office. If you are buying the business as a bookkeeping business, training will be 1 week on the Gold Coast. If you are buying the business as a tax agent, training will be 3 days via Zoom followed by 1 week on the Gold Coast. You will be supervised, trained and supported until you become a BAS Agent or Tax Agent. The current owner will assist you with introducing you to the clients along with file assistance for a period of 3 months
- Additional costs apply for training
This is an unmissable opportunity for either a BAS Agent looking for an excellent and established business, a bookkeeper wanting to be supervised to becoming a BAS Agent whilst starting with an established business, an Accountant wanting to be supervised and supported to becoming a Tax Agent or a Tax Agent who would have a bookkeeping business initially whilst having the opportunity to convert some of the bookkeeping clients to tax clients.
