The Tax Shop Accountants

Our passion is to help accountants live their dream by establishing successful account and tax practices. Our mission is to our clients’ lives easier! With successful offices throughout Southern Africa, we are fast becoming the top name in professionalism and service excellence.

Please note: “The price of our franchise licence fee for start-ups is R225,000. This amount is reduced if you have existing (however many) clients. Furthermore, we are able to offer you personalised payment plans to suit your pocket i.e. the licence fee is not necessarily payable upfront ”.
