Shayo Badejo FFA FIPA, is a highly skilled finance professional with more than 15 years’ experience within different sectors of complex organisations ranging from small to large. She joined TaxAssist Accountants in December 2021 and operates from a shop in Enfield, North London.
"I have always loved the accounting profession,” said Shayo. “Building up my own practice has always been a goal because of my desire to help people and provide solutions to their accounting needs. In addition, I’m passionate about seeing clients’ businesses succeed.
“I was introduced to TaxAssist Accountants by my good friend Bukky Shonola (TaxAssist Hitchin and Letchworth), and her support greatly influenced my decision to join the TaxAssist family. She told me about the excellent support that TaxAssist provides for all and the family culture.
“The Initial Training course which I attended was fantastic and the information shared with me is priceless. I consider it the pathway to achieving greatness and running a highly successful practice.
“I believe the TaxAssist franchise model allows me to offer each client a flexible, professional service that is tailored to their unique needs. It has a well-thought-through business model, and the support system built around it is truly amazing and mind-blowing. It has really helped me to settle down and give the best to my clients. The impeccable customer service and friendly atmosphere is a beauty to behold, and I am so happy that people matter at TaxAssist.
“As a new franchisee, I had initial fears of testing the waters, but the entire Support Centre team has truly helped me to hit the ground running.
“I opened my shop on Church Street in Enfield in May 2022 and the business is growing well. I’m so excited for the future.
There's a saying about business and life: "If you go alone, you won't go far. But if you go with the right people, you'll go further than you ever imagined.
"Every time I'm asked why I went down the franchise route instead of doing it alone, my answer is simple. I chose the TaxAssist brand not just for the name but also for the proven model and seeing the success of others firsthand, which made all the difference. Visit any of the shopfronts across the nation, and you'll see it too.
"The TaxAssist Accountants model is about learning from those ahead of you, seeing growth in action, and knowing you're never alone. I've sat in rooms with franchisees with 25+ years of experience, which alone speaks volumes about the strength of this organisation. The Franchisee Development Manager, David Spurrier has supported me in this journey, and after every visit from him I feel richer in knowledge, experience and, of course, with many insights!
"I will never stop talking about how much I appreciate my decision to join the TaxAssist network. The practice started at zero in 2022; in 2025, we will have served over 200 clients.
“I greatly recommend TaxAssist to everyone everywhere, I have tried it, I have tested it and I am proud of it!”
