Lloyd Richardson: how he tripled Jim's Bookkeeping in 7 years

Lloyd Richardson took over Jim's Bookkeeping in 2018 with around 20 franchisees. Seven years later, the division has more than 67 franchisees, 9 regional franchisors, and just became the first division in the network to earn the 50-franchisee plaque on the Jim's training room wall.Lloyd is a fellow CPA who grew up inside his father's accounting firm, scaled it to 26 staff, sold it in 1999, and retired. He came back to consulting, met Jim Penman, and ended up running one of the strongest divisions in the Jim's Group. In this episode of the Jim's podcast, Lloyd sits down with Joel to break down how the division actually works, what makes a successful Jim's Bookkeeping franchisee, and why his vision for the group is to build the happiest bookkeepers in Australia.Lloyd also covers the Payday Super legislation coming in on 1 July, why every Jim's franchisor needs to know about it, and the new MYOB Solo deal that gives any new business owner a year of accounting software plus 2 months of a Jim's bookkeeper for $11. He also explains the new regional franchisor pathway designed specifically for existing accounting firm owners who want to slow down without selling. timestamps 00:00 Introduction 00:19 50 Franchisees and Growing 01:20 Lloyd's Accounting Background 02:56 Taking Over Jim's Bookkeeping 05:54 Franchise Myths Accountants Get Wrong 07:33 How the Franchise Works 09:08 Weekly Support and Ask the Experts 11:46 Training and Systems 16:12 Traits of Successful Franchisees 18:45 Regional Franchisor Opportunities 21:14 Getting Your First Clients 25:30 Starting Part-Time 26:31 Services Offered 27:31 Payday Super Explained 30:29 Vehicle Log Books and Tax 31:47 Cash Flow Advisory 33:48 AI and the Future of Bookkeeping 41:13 Building Wealth Through Business 49:10 Franchise Costs 51:56 The Happiest Bookkeeper 53:00 Contact and Final Thoughts

How a Jim's Hazmat franchisee did $750k in year two

One Jim's Hazmat franchisee did $750,000 in revenue in his second year while taking three months off. In this episode Joel sits down with Gary, the Jim's Hazmat franchisor, and Jason, the national franchise manager, to break down what is one of the fastest growing and least understood divisions inside Jim's Group. Gary started six years ago working from a corner of his kitchen and now leads 31 franchisees across the country. Jason walks through the three day induction, the 13 services Hazmat franchisees deliver, and what kind of person succeeds in the role. You will hear the real numbers behind the division, including a $42,000 fire job finished in three days and a $90,000 asbestos job done by a franchisee less than a year into the business. Gary explains why most franchisees pay off their buy-in within six months, how the team coordinates work across franchisees instead of competing, and why he set a goal of 1,000 franchisees. If you want to know what franchise opportunity Joel calls the best kept secret in Jim's Group, start here. 0:00 The $42k and $90k jobs that paid off franchises0:46 Gary's journey from FIFO worker to Jim's Hazmat4:19 What Jim's Hazmat actually does6:17 The 3-day induction and 13-service training10:16 Six years building from a kitchen corner13:04 Hoarder cleans and jobs nobody else wants17:47 Women in Hazmat and partner involvement19:56 Buy-in costs and 6-month payback24:20 Why there's no income ceiling in this division28:00 The $42k fire job and $90k asbestos job30:31 Hard work, hot conditions, real reward34:05 Goal of 1,000 franchisees37:18 Training and support for new franchisees40:41 Full fees breakdown41:42 From Audi manager to $750k revenue in year two45:04 Why this is Jim's Group's best kept secret49:58 Expanding into New Zealand

Jim's Handyman NZ - Robert Young: how to recession-proof a trade business in NZ

Robert Young brought Jim's Building Maintenance and Jim's Handyman to New Zealand five years ago. His teams are now the market leader nationally, booked months out in Wellington and Christchurch while independent builders are calling him asking for work. Robert joins Joel on the Jim's podcast to make the case that property maintenance is the most recession-proof trade business in New Zealand right now, and that owning a customer base of around 1,000 people is the only real protection a tradie has against AI disruption and a flat economy. He has been through five NZ recessions and the pattern is the same each time. The conversation unpacks how the Jim's flat-fee model works versus percentage-based franchise systems that quietly turn franchisees into subcontractors. Robert breaks down how lead fees operate, why the maximum lead fee in NZ is $35, why some franchisees stop taking leads after 18 months, how territory and customer ownership actually work, and why his franchisees charge close to double the rates of independent builders. He also explains the pay-for-work guarantee and why it is rarely claimed. If you are a qualified builder or a seriously handy tradie in New Zealand thinking about your next move, this one is worth your time.
