Former San Francisco 49er© and NFL Pro Bowler Lee Woodall To Make Presentation on Business Opportunities for Professional Athletes Assimilating to Life After Sports
July 24, 2008 // Franchising.com // Sacramento, CA - Building off her celebrity status from TV commercials seen every day, in every major U.S. market, Roni Deutch has announced plans to stamp her name on more than 1000 tax preparation franchises, coined Roni Deutch Tax Center(R), across the country in the next five to seven years.
To feed this development, Roni Deutch is hosting a Mini-Discovery Dinner Seminar on Tuesday, August 12, 2008 at 6:30pm at Piatti's Restaurant, located at 3905 Rivermark Plaza in Santa Clara. The Mini-Discovery Dinner Seminar will include a complimentary dinner served to all attendees. Former NFL Pro Bowler Lee Woodall, who won Super Bowl XXIX with the San Francisco 49ers©, will make a presentation about how he joined Roni Deutch Tax Center as a way to teach professional athletes about a recession-resistant business opportunity that fits the lifestyle of the athlete, and to help these athletes assimilate to life after sports.
"As a former NFL player, I know first-hand that there are no organizations to help the player transition to life after football," Woodall said. "By teaming with the Roni Deutch Tax Center, I plan to educate former professional athletes about this tax franchise opportunity because its business model closely matches their way of life. The high motivation, understanding of life's ups-and-downs, and passion for competition, combined with elements of team work, dedication, training, and a familiar six month work schedule make former athletes exceptional candidates for tax franchise owners."
Roni Deutch will also be in attendance to educate prospects about the booming tax resolution industry, the benefits of opening a Roni Deutch Tax Center franchise, and to discuss development plans to open 150 Roni Deutch Tax Center locations in the greater San Francisco area over the next 3-5 years.
"We are thrilled to expand the Roni Deutch Tax Center concept throughout California and specifically in the greater San Francisco area," said Roni Deutch, owner/founder of the Roni Deutch Tax Center. "The San Francisco market is vital to our success in California, which is why I have planned this event so that I can personally meet with area entrepreneurs, speak with them first-hand about owning a Roni Deutch Tax Center, and discuss how our franchise system is primed for long-term success."
After helping tens of thousands of people save $5,000 to $4 million in IRS debt over the past 17 years through her California-based tax resolution law firm, Roni Deutch is on a double-pronged mission - ironically, to eliminate the need for tax resolution by providing Americans with competent, professional tax return preparation, and to provide a recession-proof business opportunity for entrepreneurs seeking a piece of the booming tax preparation industry. According to the IRS, 134 million individual income tax returns were filed last year and 62 percent of Americans hired a tax professional to prepare their return. And the IRS is projecting an increase in returns filed to 146 million by the year 2014.
"Over the past 17 years I have seen the devastating effect and hardships that sloppy, unprofessional and inaccurate tax return preparation can have on people's lives," Ms. Deutch said. "Decent, hard-working people get into serious tax trouble by making simple mistakes on their tax returns, or by paying incompetent people to make the mistakes for them. I've helped people with their IRS tax problems, but now I want to prevent them from getting into trouble in the first place. Roni Deutch Tax Center will help millions of people avoid costly mistakes they would otherwise have to spend years paying for. I'm calling it preventive medicine for tax liability."
The first Roni Deutch Tax Center was opened by Ms. Deutch herself in June 2006 in Fair Oaks, California.
"New franchisees can look forward to a built-in customer base of millions and a concept that is immune to the ups and downs of the economy," Ms. Deutch said.
Every Roni Deutch Tax Center will be open for three and a half months every year from mid-January through April 15. Franchisees will undergo a 6 to 11-day training course at the Roni Deutch Tax Center's corporate office in Sacramento, where they become certified to complete and file tax returns. During the other eight and one-half months of the year, franchises are required to keep their tax centers open at least one day a week.
"Franchisees have the potential of earning an entire year's salary in as little as three and half months. Based on my model, it's realistic that franchisees can process 450 returns in their first year, gradually working their way up to 1,000 returns by year six," Ms. Deutch said. She also added, "Every year millions of people solicit the services of tax professionals and that number is growing every year. I'm seeking out ambitious, driven individuals with an entrepreneurial spirit who are as passionate about helping people as I am. It's my name and credibility on the door."
