Franchising is all about being part of something bigger, giving you the ability to connect with the very best people the industry can offer. You\u2019ll be able to tap into all their experience and expertise, so you can grow your business with the full support of our expert team, every step of the way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But, what does this look like in reality?<\/strong> Well, allow us to introduce you to one of your key supporters in dns accountants, our Group Operations Manager, Gary Zouvani.<\/p>\n<p>Gary has been a major player in dns accountants since 2014, and has had a key role in transforming us from a successful accountancy firm to one of the UK\u2019s leading accountancy practice franchises.<\/p>\n<p>Having studied Business at Kingston University, before following-up with his accountancy qualifications, Gary went straight into working with a large telecoms firm. However, there was more to life than work, and Gary had a need to satisfy the wanderlust desire burning within him, so he took time out to travel and explore Australia and New Zealand. When he returned to the UK, Gary took on more of a consultancy role.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, dns accountants were winning \u201cBest Online Accounting Firm\u201d at the\u00a0British Accountancy\u00a0Awards, and had big plans to grow the brand using the franchising route. The firm knew they needed to bring in the best, and approached Gary to help them carry forward their vision.\u00a0 As Gary says, \u201cPut simply: I loved their ambition! dns accountants weren\u2019t the kind of company to sit back and be just another accountancy firm. They wanted to find the right way to to work more efficiently, and incorporate the use of technology to drive their advancement in accountancy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sounds great! But, what does this have to do with me?<br \/>\n<\/strong>We\u2019re glad you asked. Gary is one of the key people you will meet, as you come through the dns accountants\u2019 discovery process. Being someone who is passionate about the franchise, and the opportunities we\u2019re giving to people, like you, means Gary is someone to whom you can ask questions, whilst you explore dns accountants for your future. Then, once you have joined the network, Gary will still be there for you, along with his team. They will become your go-to for any questions, training, or support, as you start and as you grow your new franchise.<\/p>\n<p>Gary explains why this personal element is an important aspect of what he does. \u201cdns accountants have always been ahead of the curve, especially in terms of tech. But what really sets us apart is the personal touch. Clients love spending time with their accountants, which helps to build a great working relationship. This is one of the reasons why having a strong relationship with our franchisees is important to me. It\u2019s a mirroring-approach: With our help, you\u2019ll build rapport with business owners in your local community who use your services. In return, we make sure you can offer any service your client is likely to need, and will help you become a success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>But, I don\u2019t have the right experience<br \/>\n<\/strong>Some of our franchisees have considerable experience as accountants: having established themselves in a corporate practice, and want to step out and work for their own future; or they already have their own practice and bring it under the dns accountants\u2019 banner in order to establish strategic growth. However, there are also some who are starting out on their accountancy journey, and are benefitting from our franchise framework. So, whether you already have your qualifications, or are still studying for them, dns accountants can provide you with all the tools and knowledge you\u2019ll need thanks to our comprehensive training and support programmes.<\/p>\n<p>As Gary explains, the dns Support Team are there for you. \u201cIf any one of our franchisees has any difficulties, they contact me straightaway, so I can help them problem-solve. This may involve using one of our experts. For example, we have external sales specialists guiding franchisees on how to manage their client relationships, and a trading manager to help them find business. Everything about our training and support is very well organised. I love managing my team and mentoring the newer members of the network, as they grow their portfolio of clients. I love being part of their journey. All our franchisees have come from different backgrounds and industries, so we\u2019re always bringing fresh thought ideas to the table \u2013 something you can\u2019t experience outside of our franchise!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>It&#8217;s not all work, though\u2026 I want to perfect my work-life balance<\/strong><br \/>\nOf course not! Starting your own practice is the ultimate way to take control of your day-to-day. When he is not living and breathing dns accountants, Gary loves nothing more than spending time with his two children, and the extended family. He\u2019s legendary for his barbecuing skills which, sources reliably inform us, is bigger than his dining table. He regularly hosts events for more than 30 of his nearest and dearest, including several very boisterous kids!<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, what would you do, with your spare time?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Is it time you cooked up a storm with your own accountancy firm? With the help of Gary and his team, there\u2019s no limit to what you can achieve.
