James Mattam appointed as Group Director of Franchising

The new role ensures continuity of focus on growing and supporting the TaxAssist Accountants network of practices which remain a key segment of the TaxAssist Group portfolio of businesses.

James Mattam joined the TaxAssist Group Board in 2016 as Group Business Development Director. From 1^st Jan 2025, James has taken on a new role, created to support the network of over 420 accountancy offices in the UK, Ireland, Australia, Canada and the USA.

James said: “I’m excited to be taking on this new role in the 30^th year that TaxAssist Accountants has been successfully operating as a franchise. Having been a part of the business for over 25 years it was a natural step forward to put my energy into continuing the growth and development of the business I care deeply about.

“TaxAssist Accountants has grown year on year through recessions, periods of high inflation, movements in interest rates, a pandemic and spikes in unemployment, and we believe the key reason for the network’s success is the strength of the franchise model, the support teams and the energy and effort the network put into driving their practices forward. The franchisor/franchisee relationship is unique, working together for mutual benefit, and the franchised businesses are at the core of everything we do as a Group.

“Our accountants look to us for development, support and growth at all times and we always aim to generate value for money support and services along with nationally obtained preferrable rates for software and IT.

“I look forward to driving further expansion of the network and working with my fellow directors to deliver initiatives that will help and support each and every franchisee to build successful and profitable businesses.”

James has spent his entire full-time career with TaxAssist Accountants since completing his honours degree in Business Information Systems. He has enjoyed a number of different roles, initially within digital development and support, before moving on to marketing and business development.

Career highlights to date include the roll out of the new TaxAssist Accountants brand, supporting network expansion through retailed accounting practices, driving thousands of new business leads across the UK and supporting other Group companies and franchised businesses in Ireland, Canada, USA and Australia.
