Richard Berry, who operates TaxAssist Accountants Reading Central from 175 Wokingham Road, has recently celebrated 20 years in business. He took time to reflect on his experiences with TaxAssist and to look back on what he has achieved over the last two decades.
“If I am honest, when I joined the franchise 20 years ago, I didn’t expect to grow such a sizeable business,” said Richard.
“I think it’s fair to say the franchise has grown exponentially since I joined back in 2003, and is now a well-known professional brand and a real force to be reckoned with in the accounting arena. I’m incredibly pleased with the way the business has grown and we have been achieving a turnover of over £400,000 for some years now.
“I am extremely grateful to everyone at the TaxAssist Support Centre for providing so much good advice and support over the years, and a special mention goes to Peter Dakovic, who joined as my fellow director & shareholder 10 years ago and has helped to make this the best professional decision of my life.”
