TaxAssist Accountants is pleased to advise that it now has a third member of staff who has gained Qualified Franchise Professional status (QFP) with the British Franchise Association.

Jody Macmillan, UK recruitment manager, who has responsibility for growing the network of UK franchisees, joins Karl Sandall CEO and David Paulson senior manager UK & international franchise development, who already hold the notable position.

QFP is the only nationally recognised qualification specific to the franchising industry. It signifies a highly developed level of expertise and experience in franchising and a thorough understanding of its complexities, ethical standards and best practices.

The QFP is specific to an individual and not to a company. It’s a recognition of a personal level of commitment, time and continuous professional development by a member of the franchising community.
