New TaxAssist Accountants shop opens in the heart of Norwich

28 August 2019

Experienced accountant Jeremy Gilks has launched a new accountancy practice on Ber Street in Norwich specifically aimed at small businesses and individual tax-payer clients.

Norwich is set to benefit from the addition of a new walk-in TaxAssist Accountants shop when Jeremy Gilks FCCA opens his practice on 113-119 Ber Street on 27th August.

“Since joining the TaxAssist Accountants network in November 2018, I’ve been on the look out for the ideal location to open a shop, which will provide a warm, welcoming environment for me to meet with new and existing clients to discuss their tax and accountancy requirements,” said Jeremy.

“The shop on Ber Street ticks all the boxes as there is a high volume of passing traffic and a vibrant local traders association. There is also plenty of on-street parking for clients to use when popping in, as we want to be convenient to the city centre, to make it easy for clients to come and visit us while doing their shopping.

“We do not consider ourselves to be typical accountants, which is clear from the look and feel of our modern shop. We are passionate about offering a bespoke, tailored service to every kind of small business client and we have adopted the latest software on offer, which allows us to be more responsive to clients’ needs and provides greater efficiencies. But, we have a best of both worlds approach for those who enjoy using tech and those who prefer just to come in and talk to us. I would like to encourage anyone interested in finding out more about our services to pop in for a free initial consultation.”

As well as providing all the regular services you would expect from a local accountant, Jeremy, who has over 30 years’ accountancy experience across a range of sectors, is looking for his shop to become a destination for new start-ups by providing a business hub. This will offer a flexible working environment with space to hire by the hour, half day, day, week or month.

“I’m keen to offer help, to nurture and support new start-ups” said Jeremy. “In addition to hiring out desk space, we will be looking to offer lock up offices with provision for a board room with large screens for presentations, which will run independently of the accountancy practice.”

Karl Sandall, Chief Executive Director of The TaxAssist Group said: “I’m very excited to see another fantastic looking addition to the TaxAssist Accountants network of shops and would like to congratulate Jeremy on the look and feel of the shop after it has undergone an extensive refit.”

Jeremy’s shop on Ber Street joins an established network of over 210 TaxAssist Accountants shops nationwide, including shops in Norfolk on Aylsham Road in Norwich, Attleborough and King’s Lynn.
