Graitco Franchise

Tax preparation & financial services

The Great American Income Tax Company, GRAITCO, has been formed and is being offered to qualifying individuals as a business opportunity, an opportunity for motivated entrepreneurs to own
and operate their very own income tax business.
There are two types of clients in the tax preparation industry: low-end to middle, and middle to high-end.
The first type of client is typically served by local tax services and the national chains, while
the latter type of client is typically served by CPAs. As a GRAITCO franchisee, you will cater to and market to high-end clients, offering service comparable to that provided by CPAs, however, at more competitive prices. This means that your clients get the best of both worlds: high-end service, without the high-end pricing. This type of marketing strategy greatly increases your chances of success.
