Business Accounting Network (BAN) is a franchise of Executive Single Operator Franchisees (home based) and Management Franchisees (area office based) who specialise in bookkeeping and accounting services to small and medium businesses that top audit firms recommend.

BAN's reputation has been built on integrity, trust, professionalism and outstanding levels of personal client service. BAN franchisees share one common objective that is to ensure absolute client satisfaction.

BAN is not a company or legal entity. BAN's unique concept offers major benefits to both clients and franchisees alike in terms of its organised structure and personal service. This enables our independent contractors (franchisees) to provide cost effective services due to low overhead structures.

BAN franchisees have trained in the major registered auditing firms with an average of 10 to 15 years experience each. Coupled with a relevant qualification, they can bring to our clients the experience and knowledge necessary to supply them with the information with which to make sound business decisions whilst ensuring compliance with statutory obligations.

BAN specialises in accounting services, from bookkeeping and producing monthly management accounts to the completion of audit working papers and drafting financial statements on behalf of accounting and auditing firms.

BAN also supports Pastel software and offers training, sales and technical support.

Clients are those who are:

• Established and successful entrepreneurs of small and medium businesses who do not have the skills, time or need for a full or part-time bookkeeper/accountant.
• Entrepreneurs that are in the start-up phase of business, who have a strong aptitude to be successful and who want to do things right the first time.
• Owner-managed businesses that are aware and understand that the cost related to accounting, outsourced monthly management accounting, tax and other regulatory compliance is critical to the survival of their business, and who do not see this cost as "unproductive".
• Are small and medium businesses that still see value in other specialised services offered by their auditing firm or accounting officers, e.g. income tax administration and compliance, auditing, consulting, company/close corporation secretarial services, etc.

Together with BAN's working relationship with various top registered accounting and audit firms, BAN franchisees, by specialising in specific areas of accounting practice, collectively network a broad range of skills. They thus provide a highly experienced, professional and personal service to small and medium businesses at cost-effective rates.
