Service
has bestowed its highest honor – the Franchise of the Year
Award – on RRD Financial Services, Inc., based in Tennessee, run by David Elkins.
Announced as part of
the 2012 Jackson Hewitt
® Annual Convention, the Franchise of the
Year Award is given annually to the franchise who exhibits the highest level of
performance in terms of growth, territory and employee development, customer
service and community involvement. The award also recognizes franchise owners
who uphold the standards that are at the core of the Jackson Hewitt experience –

Headquartered in Smiths

2001 to 75 locations, 90 percent in Tennessee, during the 2012 tax season, in
which he prepared over 32,000 individual tax returns. During this time, he has
been able to retain clients and attract new customers through maintaining high
standards for customer service and his dedicated team of preparers.
“I am very honored and humbled to be selected as the 2012
Jackson Hewitt Franchise of the Year,” said Elkins. “This award would not have
been possible without the magnificent team I am fortunate to work with each day.
The commitment and dedication of my team, not only to our own franchise, but to
the Jackson Hewitt brand, is nothing short of exceptional and they all share in
this award.”
He added, “I joined Jackson Hewitt because they allow me to
own and operate a multi-location, multi-state tax preparation business within an
established framework. The technological capabilities provided by Jackson
Hewitt, its corporate support team and input from individual franchisees makes
it possible to operate and succeed in this industry.”
“David has literally grown up in the tax preparation business,
having started out as a preparer while in college and worked himself up through
every position to become our most successful franchisee this year,” Philip H.
Sanford, president and CEO of Jackson Hewitt Tax Service. “He is known
