But with 25 years in the sector, AIMS Accountants for Business know that you can run a successful franchise model that helps to take away the pain of running your own practice. There&#8217;s no better proof of that than a direct example, so today Jamie Andreae outlines exactly how franchising has lead to him creating a successful business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving started my career in a small accountancy practice, I found myself 20 years later in industry. I was spending my day challenging budgets and \u2018efficiencies&#8217;, constantly talking in business jargon. I realised something needed to change. I wanted to actually produce something, interact with clients, get excited about winning business again! With a 2-year-old daughter, I also needed a degree of flexibility. My working week would still be significant, but I needed it to fit around that lifestyle. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI needed three things &#8211; marketing support, accounting technical support and IT support. In these areas AIMS has been faultless. It isn&#8217;t easy, there can be stressful times, but AIMS gives me a structure where it is within my grasp to succeed. 20 years on from being a filing clerk starting my AAT, I am back to doing what I genuinely enjoy. It&#8217;s just a shame it took me so long to realise it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jamie has enjoyed great success with AIMS, and has built a successful practice with over 200 clients in under a year. Franchising might be an unusual opportunity in the accounting world, but it&#8217;s certainly still a recipe for success!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you think about franchise opportunities, accounting isn&#8217;t the first thing that springs to mind.
