Business Advisory & Specialist Services, Director, Christchurch
Jon has been a Baker Tilly Staples Rodway Director since 2008.
Jon's career started in Christchurch in 1995, with stints in the United Kingdom and Auckland. He brings a lot of energy to everything he does.
One of Jon’s specialist areas within his business services client base is the franchising industry. Jon enjoys helping his clients to stay on track with their business goals.
While franchise businesses display many normal traditional business traits there are specific quirks that only arise with franchises. Jon deals with both franchisors and franchisees and helps them with their business such as dealing with financiers, buying and selling a franchise, cashflow modelling and forecasting, and of course their annual compilation requirements.
