Taking over the family firm

Our existing clients will know that I have recently taken over the day-to-day running of the firm and my father has taken a big step back from the business.

Having worked at Franklins for over 8 years I am confident that I know what has made our firm so successful over the past 30 years.

Accountancy publications continue to predict the demise of the small firm. I think that they miss a number of very important points.

The smaller firms tend to attract small to medium size clients who they are inherently better to work with. We understand the intricacies of running a business in its entirety and can give more practical advice.

We pride ourselves on the relationships we have developed. We have worked with some clients for over 30 years and continue to advise them, their children and their grandchildren.

My father was very conscious that the success of an accountancy business was down to the staff. Not just their skills and knowledge, but also their ability to interact with each other and our clients. We value our staff and our clients appreciate the continuity of service from our team.

If you are unhappy with the current level of service you receive and would like to discuss becoming one of our clients, then please contact the office to book an appointment.
