Jim Penman began Jim's Mowing many years ago, specialising in building up and selling lawn-mowing rounds. From a small and relatively unknown business, it has become the largest mowing franchise in the world. Now Jim's Bookkeeping - an extension of Jim's Mowing -provides bookkeeping services to small to medium businesses. "Having the material in my hands is what sold me,'' says Mr Jim Radford of Jim's Bookkeeping. "The easy-to-read-and-follow instructions approach offered a great deal of appeal. "I am so impressed with their Certified Bookkeeper Course, I have encouraged my staff and franchisees to undertake it as well.''
Students can study from home at their own pace, with individual tuition from experts. There is an opportunity for graduates who complete the Certified Bookkeeper Course to become part of the Jim's Bookkeeping franchise network. Once accepted, graduates and selected franchisees can use their skills operating and financially managing their own businesses. The successful alliance enables potential franchise owners to undergo the best training in certified bookkeeping, on a flexible pathway, through the Australian College of Business & Marketing.
The Australian College and Jim's Bookkeeping say their success is attributed to delivering the highest standard of service coupled with quality training.
