Jim’s Bookkeeping has recently appointed Grant Meikle as its new divisional franchisor, a role it seems he is ready to embrace with open arms.

Meikle said he is looking forward to taking the group’s bookkeeping division to the next level.

“The advent of cloud accounting offers bookkeepers some great new opportunities.

“It means our bookkeepers will be able to increase their income without increasing their costs,” he said.

Meikle has already begun to refresh the brand’s presence, developing new accountant ready bookkeeping solutions and updating orientation training for new franchisees.

He is well aware of the trend towards cloud products, which are incredibly easy to use and can be accessed from anywhere, and as such is encouraging franchisees to embrace them.

“There’s a terrific opportunity waiting for us to reach out and take. We want to help our bookkeepers to be successful and that means helping them find and manage every opportunity,” he said.

According to Jim’s, the demand for bookkeeping services in Australia continues to grow and many small businesses owners in particular are looking for reliable bookkeepers who can assist them with their GST obligations.

The company said Jim’s Bookkeeping saves them time so they can get on with business and avoid getting caught up in paperwork after hours.
