Job description

The Opportunity

Accountancy and business services are essential and non‑discretionary – companies must comply with tax, payroll, and reporting obligations regardless of economic conditions. This makes the sector defensive, predictable, and attractive.

Affinity Associates is offering ambitious, ICAEW qualified accountants the opportunity to build a professional accountancy and business services business as one of our franchise partners, with the backing of a trusted brand with over 60 years history.

Operating in the essential SME services sector, the franchise model provides predictable recurring revenue, scalable growth, and low overheads – ideal for commercially‑mindful accountants who desire to run their own professional enterprise without starting from scratch.

As an Affinity Associates franchise partner you will focus on client acquisition, relationship management and local business development, while centralised technical teams provide expert support in accounting, payroll, tax compliance, and advisory. You will also receive operational guidance to streamline your business processes and established systems that reduce the normal start‑up barriers.

The Investment & Financial Overview

  • Franchise fee: £24,495 + VAT
  • Recommended working capital for initial growth phase
  • Modest home or office set‑up costs – many franchisees start from home to maintain cash flow efficiency
  • Guidance available on bank financing and government‑backed loans

Key Strengths of the franchise opportunity:

  • Recurring monthly income streams from bookkeeping, payroll, VAT and tax compliance
  • High client retention and long‑term relationships
  • Low overheads, with home‑based launch options
  • Scalable growth without expensive premises
  • Multiple revenue streams per client through cross‑selling
  • Relationship‑led, contract‑driven revenue providing financial visibility and stability

This Franchise Opportunity Is Ideal For:

  • Accountants or bookkeepers looking to own their practice
  • Existing practice owners aiming to scale efficiently
  • Corporate professionals or consultants seeking a structured business model
  • Investors seeking a professional, service‑led enterprise

Franchise partners must be able to demonstrate commercial awareness, confidence when engaging with business owners, and the ability to build long‑term client relationships.

Reward and Benefits

All new franchise partners complete a 4‑ to 5‑day training programme at the Affinity Associates head office in Wembley, covering:

  • Operations, services and systems
  • Business development and sales strategy
  • Tailored support based on experience level

Ongoing support includes:

  • Regular performance reviews
  • Access to technical specialists
  • Collaboration with the wider franchise network
  • Dedicated guidance during launch and early‑stage growth

Affinity Associates provides franchise partners with a recurring‑income, professional services enterprise in a stable, essential sector.

If you are looking for long‑term value and a scalable, relationship‑driven business, this franchise offers a proven model backed by heritage, operational infrastructure and growth potential.

Franchise partners are able to offer a comprehensive range of SME‑focused services:

  • Accounts preparation & audit
  • Bookkeeping & payroll management
  • VAT returns & tax planning
  • Managed IT and advisory services

Franchise partners can build a solid customer base and achieve significant growth as their business matures.

The medium‑ and long‑term financial returns of an Affinity Associates franchise are excellent, and you can reasonably expect the following pre‑tax profits:

  • Year 2 – £65,047
  • Year 3 – £111,346
  • Year 5 – £126,251

Enquire today to explore how you can build a scalable professional services business under the Affinity Associates brand. (Franchise opportunities are available across the UK)
