Jackson Hewitt Tax Service(R) Awards Highest Honor - Franchisee of the Year - to Central Mississippi Area Franchisee Jeffrey Davidson

October 12, 2011 // Franchising.com // JACKSON, MS – Jackson Hewitt Tax Service has bestowed its highest honor – the Franchisee of the Year Award – on franchise owner Jeffrey Davidson of Jackson, Miss.

Announced as part of the 2011 Jackson Hewitt® Annual Convention, held recently in New Orleans, Louisiana, the Franchisee of the Year Award is given each year to the franchisee who exhibits the highest level of performance in terms of growth, territory and employee development, customer service and community involvement. The award also recognizes franchise owners who uphold the standards that are at the core of the Jackson Hewitt experience – quality, professionalism and entrepreneurship.

Davidson’s franchise operation was chosen from more than 700 franchisees from across the country. He grew his franchise operation from two locations in 1996 preparing 800 tax returns, to 26 locations across Central Mississippi preparing more than 8,500 tax returns this past tax season.

“Being chosen as the Jackson Hewitt Franchisee of the Year is an incredible honor and achievement,” said Davidson. “It was an amazing surprise, as I expected a larger franchise to win. It goes to show that focusing on your business and doing the right thing by your customers will be rewarded.”

Providing a comfortable price point and having locations dispersed between storefronts and various Walmart store locations were among key items Davidson attributed to his team’s success. He also cites a dedication to continually looking for ways to improve quality of service for new and returning customers.

He added, “I joined Jackson Hewitt because they offer the tools and the system to be a successful franchisee. I encourage other franchisees to embrace this system, share insights on the issues impacting their business, and to also take advantage of the opportunities to network with other franchisees and learn about best practices."

“Jeff’s success is due to his friendly demeanor, the rapport he has built with his neighboring franchises and to his taking advantageous of all available resources to maximize the performance of his overall operation,” said Philip H. Sanford, president and CEO of Jackson Hewitt Tax Service Inc. “As an extremely hands on operator, he has made client service and taking care of his team a top priority, achieving a 61 percent client retention rate and 21 percent growth in tax returns prepared in this past tax season. We applaud Jeff and his team for their efforts over the years and wish his entire organization great success again in 2012.”

As part of his future plans, Davidson hopes to grow the franchise over the next few years through additional acquisitions.
