“I love running my own business and having the support of my franchisor makes the task that much easier. I enjoy the encouragement, support and assistance they willingly provide and I can always turn to the expertise of the franchise team if I need help with a difficult task. Their response to any queries is immediate and this assists me in providing a quick, efficient service to my clients." -   Joan Cain

Why The Tax Shop Stands Out

The Tax Shop is built around one simple goal: making life easier for business owners. Our franchisees help clients save time, reduce administrative burdens, remain compliant, minimise risk, and make better financial decisions through expert advice and planning.

What truly sets us apart is the strength of our network. With more than 100 franchise offices operating across Southern Africa, franchisees gain access to an exceptional depth of knowledge and expertise. Through our extensive network of business partners, franchisees can also offer a broader range of solutions than most independent practitioners, including insurance, investments, business funding, estate planning, and other value-added services that help clients achieve their goals.

Industry Leadership & Recognition

• Largest accounting and tax franchise network in Southern Africa.
• More than 100 franchise offices operating across the region.
• Established reputation for professional excellence, innovation, and franchisee support.

“I purchased a tax shop franchise in 2009 and the growth in terms of the group has been very rewarding. In all the years I have had nothing but support and encouragement from the entire tax shop team. The best feature for me is the innovative ideas especially, world class, web-based technology to function as a “professional” business person." - Liz Adamson

Comprehensive Support & Training

Our commitment to franchisee success begins from day one. Every new franchisee attends a three-day in-person induction programme at our Head Office in Pretoria, where we focus on the core principles required to establish and grow a successful accounting and tax practice.

Beyond induction, franchisees gain access to our extensive Franchisee Zone, a dedicated learning platform containing a wealth of written resources, video training, recorded webinars, and practical business development tools. Regular technical training sessions cover areas such as taxation, trusts, legislation changes, and compliance, while practical workshops focus on pricing strategies, practice management, scaling, systemisation, and operational efficiency.

Franchisees also benefit from ongoing mentoring with company directors, active regional forums, and peer-to-peer collaboration with fellow franchise owners. Additional professional development opportunities are available through our partnerships with respected industry organisations including SAIT, Tax Faculty, CIBA, and SAAA, often at discounted rates.

“I love The Tax Shop! I love the ability to run my own business and taking all the decisions that go with it and in exchange knowing I have the support of a most excellent team backing me. The support and advice is fantastic and it is run by a dynamic team of directors with great vision and foresight in our ever changing world. My best decision ever!" -   Ingrihid Povey
