Resourcing by TaxAssist to provide accountants with staffing solution

Resourcing by TaxAssist has been specifically designed for TaxAssist practices and integrates fully into their operations, systems and best practices. It provides franchisees with access to experienced accountants and bookkeepers who will work as a seamless extension of the local team.

With a structured yet flexible recruitment model, practices can now hire skilled professionals who are already familiar with TaxAssist’s technology stack and working practices – ensuring consistency, compliance and a strong cultural fit.

Mike Melling, Group Chief Operating Officer at TaxAssist, said: “Recruitment remains one of the biggest challenges for accountancy firms. Resourcing by TaxAssist is a timely and tailored solution that allows our franchisees to access high-quality talent in a scalable, cost-effective way.

“This new offering removes the friction from hiring, supports service delivery and enables practices to focus on growth, client care and strategic development.

"Resourcing by TaxAssist is a major new offering to our network and will offer a multitude of solutions for our franchisees including offshoring, centres of excellence and talent pools. We are excited to be partnering with GI Outsourcing who is an award-winning accounts outsourcing company with over 24 years’ experience." 

Tariq Husain, Chief Executive Officer of GI Outsourcing, said: “We are delighted to partner with TaxAssist to deliver a world-class resourcing solution built around the needs of their franchise network. Our team works closely with each practice to understand their requirements and handpick professionals who are already trained in the TaxAssist way of working.

“The result is a reliable, well-supported and future-ready team that enhances both client experience and operational efficiency.”

As part of the service, the network will also have access to a newly developed Capacity Planner tool, which helps franchisees assess their staffing needs over the next 12 months based on current fee bank, staffing levels and growth plans. This allows for better forecasting and proactive team development.

Early adopters have already seen the benefits. Drazen Coric, owner of TaxAssist Accountants East Finchley, shared his experience: “I was impressed by the professionalism and structured onboarding. My new team member has integrated seamlessly and helped us manage our growth without compromising service quality.”

Franchisees can use Resourcing by TaxAssist to:

• Add capacity for busy periods such as in the run up to the self-assessment tax return deadline
• Backfill critical roles
• Avoid high recruitment costs
• Build a future-proof team without compromising on quality or control

This initiative is part of TaxAssist’s continued investment in developing centralised services to further support its network, following the successful introduction of in-house payroll, tax consultancy and financial planning offerings.

For those looking to build their own accountancy practice, Resourcing by TaxAssist is just one example of how TaxAssist provides its franchisees with the tools, systems and expert support needed to overcome market challenges and scale with confidence. With services designed specifically for independent practices, franchisees benefit from a level of operational infrastructure, strategic insight and brand strength that sets them apart in the local marketplace.
