The 2025 National Conference was held from 16–18 May and brought together the UK network for a weekend of celebration, innovation, and inspiration. The event kicked off with a charity golf day, raising £1,320 for Dementia UK, and continued with a packed agenda of exhibitions, workshops, keynote presentations, and a spectacular black-tie gala.
The exhibition featured 30 partners and sponsors including Intuit QuickBooks, Dext, Xero, Acora One, and TaxCalc, followed by sessions led by the TaxAssist Group’s leadership team and external experts. One of the key highlights was a forward-looking panel discussion on the role of AI in the accounting industry.
This milestone event was more than just a celebration—it was a powerful reminder of the strength and unity of the TaxAssist network worldwide.
We were proud to have Mandy Sigaloff, CEO of TaxAssist Accountants Australia, in attendance to represent our growing Australian network.
“It was an incredible honour to be part of such a landmark event,” said Mandy. “The energy, collaboration and forward-thinking mindset of the UK network is something we’re proud to reflect here in Australia. Attending the conference reinforced how connected we are as a global brand and how much opportunity lies ahead for our franchisees—especially with the exciting developments around AI and client support tools.”
Franchisees across the UK echoed that sentiment with overwhelmingly positive feedback:
Jamie-Leigh Heyda, Barnstaple: “Still buzzing from a weekend of big ideas and brilliant people… energised and inspired not just by the content, but by the people.”
Alex Smith, Plymouth: “The very fact we put on something like this epitomises everything that’s great about our network and values.”
Shayo Badejo, Enfield: “Engaging conversations, insightful discussions, and an incredible sense of community—this event reminded me why I’m so proud to be part of this brand.”
With continued innovation, strong leadership, and a supportive global network, TaxAssist Accountants is entering its next chapter stronger than ever—and we’re excited for what’s to come in Australia.
