Mark, who’s lived on Portland all his life, is well known to many local businesses. He's working for a local accounting firm for over 12 years and over that time gained his professional qualifications, along with an extensive knowledge of accounts and tax.
One of Mark’s strengths is his ability to translate the sometimes obscure language of finance into something his clients can understand. As a result, they give him glowing testimonials.
Laura Dench, of H20 Hair Salon in Weymouth, says that Mark “takes the stress out of it all”. Another hairdresser, Francesca Hegg of Steven May Hair Design, calls Mark: “A true professional and always with a smile.” She “would not hesitate in recommending him to anyone looking for an accountant.”
Moving from the security of a regular salary to the challenge of having to find your own work can be a daunting prospect, particularly in today’s challenging economy. Mark is confident that his professional skills, excellent reputation and local knowledge will allow him generate the income needed to support his family of four young children.
He says: “By taking the time to go through the figures in detail with my clients they are able to make sense of the accounts, see where they have done well and identify areas for improvement.”
Mark’s enthusiasm for his new venture is clear to anyone who meets him. You can experience this for yourself if you choose to take up his current offer of free consultations for local firms. Find out more about Franklin and Co by visiting his website.
