Growing the operation from three offices in 2001 to 75 in 2012, RRD Financial Services, Inc., based in Tennessee, and run by David Elkins, was recently named Jackson Hewitt’s 2012 Franchisee of the Year. But that’s not the only reason David’s franchise was selected as this year’s winner.
“At the end of every tax season,” said Phil Sanford, CEO, “we analyze the data and zero in on our operators that have demonstrated superior performance in key areas of their business such as growth, territory development, client service, and community involvement. We also look for individuals that embody leadership qualities and serve as a role model of success that others can emulate. For not only meeting the requirements, but exceeding them, we were happy to recognize RRD Financial Services, Inc., as our Franchise of the Year.”
David has literally grown up in this business. He’s performed at every level of the tax preparation business, starting as a tax preparer in college, which helps him to understand the business inside and out. Within the entire Jackson Hewitt community, he is known as a solutions-oriented operator and successful entrepreneur, always willing to share his ideas and volunteer his time to help improve the business. Throughout his employee base, David is known as a leader who includes his entire team in decisions, respecting and valuing their input, as well as a hands-on, community-minded leader.
Congratulations David!
