Qualities of excellent franchisees

Client-focused

For millions of Americans, the largest annual financial transaction is filing taxes. Franchisees understand this, and go above and beyond to get clients their maximum refunds every time they visit.

Team-focused

Top franchisees hire candidates that inspire teammates and our clients. Each team member has the opportunity to improve client experience. Build a team that embraces the challenge. 

Growth-minded

Jackson Hewitt locations receive extensive operations and marketing support. Top franchisees embrace this aid and market their businesses locally, planting seeds that may grow into new locations. 

True believers

With over 40 years of experience and over 5,200 locations opened, our plan is battle-tested. Successful franchisees implement a model that works to perfection, with constant support one phone call away.
