For Raman Boparai, the idea of missing out on precious time with her three sons while returning to traditional work was unbearable. Opting for a flexible option through franchising with DNS Accountants, she embarked on the journey of starting her own practice.
As a mother of twins and an older son, Raman realised the importance of a career that allowed her to be present for her family. Despite facing the challenges of balancing studies and work, she sought a path that aligned with her values. The impact of her absence on her sons prompted Raman to choose a different, family-centric path.
DNS Accountants offered Raman the ideal blend of support and flexibility. Already familiar with DNS since 2016, she chose them in 2020 for their commitment to family values and comprehensive support. The franchise provided her with intensive training, covering various aspects of business management, enabling her to establish a business on her terms. She values the community she has become part of the most, almost relying on her fellow franchisees for help and support as well as the dedicated account managers she weekly meets.
In her few years, Raman is well on her way to achieving her goals, both in terms of clients and turnover. The key to success, she emphasises, lies in effective time management and flexibility, allowing her to balance client needs and family commitments seamlessly.
Raman sees her franchise growth as an opportunity to showcase an alternative route to success, breaking away from traditional academic paths. Her mission extends beyond her family, aiming to inspire young people and parents in her community to pursue their goals without solely relying on the academic route.

Background: Reza Tavakoli brings a wealth of financial expertise to the table, garnered from a dynamic career in the finance departments of companies both in the UK and overseas, along with his entrepreneurial experience in Nottingham. His journey has provided him with a deep understanding of crucial accounting and financial skills, including meticulous financial record-keeping and proficient account management.
Entrepreneurial Spirit: Reza is a proactive, innovative, and ambitious individual who seeks the gratification that comes from managing a thriving, owner-operated business. Fluent in Farsi and well-versed in diverse cultural settings, Reza saw an opportunity to market his accounting services in Nottingham's diverse and multicultural community, where many small business owners have a primary language other than English.
Q: What initially drew you to the DNS Accountants Franchise offering?
A: The DNS Accountants Franchise stands out primarily because of its tailored integrated accounting software. This distinctive feature immediately caught my attention. Upon further exploration, I discovered that the DNS Franchise provides a comprehensive package of support, training, and various other elements that significantly reduce the risks associated with starting a new business.
Q: What are your aspirations with the Franchise?
A: I view the operational support from DNS as a catalyst for my business venture. It empowers me in areas like financing, tax planning, and management accounting. I'm confident that many small businesses and contractors in Nottingham benefit from what my practice has to offer. My main goals include marketing my business effectively in Nottingham, building a solid reputation with my clients and peers, fostering trust among clients, increasing my income, and achieving a harmonious work-life balance.
Q: What are your primary target markets?
A: Nottingham boasts a diverse community with a thriving small business scene, including fast food outlets, restaurants, taxi services, and construction contractors. My marketing focus is on business owners in Nottingham who primarily speak Farsi. I understand how individuals, especially in financial matters, prefer working with someone who shares their language and cultural connection. My marketing efforts target Iranian, Afghan, Kurdish, and Turkish business owners to inform them about how my practice can assist them in growing their businesses compliantly. My unique cultural perspective and language skills are a significant selling point that sets my practice apart.
Q: Do you believe the Franchise will help you attain a better work-life balance?
A: The DNS Accountants Franchise model is specifically designed to enhance efficiency, reduce operational costs, and promote a work-life balance. Having run my own business for several years, I understand the value of being your own boss and working at your pace. However, I'm also aware of the challenges of taking breaks and managing peak workloads. With the robust support offered by the Franchise model, including cloud software for remote work, and an accessible outsource team, I'm achieving a balanced work-life dynamic!
Q: Why did you choose to establish a Franchise rather than going solo?
A: Launching a business from the ground up is a challenging endeavour. I believe that franchising is a less risky approach than starting a new business from scratch. DNS has a strong reputation, a well-established operational structure, and expertise in managing a Franchise network. The ongoing training programme is a significant advantage for me, and the structured marketing approach allows me to focus on managing my business, maintaining client relationships, and local marketing efforts.
Q: What are you most excited about?
A: Over the next few years I look forward to expanding my franchise territory around Nottinghamshire and possibly investing in another Franchise in the East Midlands. Additionally, I'm still enthusiastic about being a part of a renowned name in the accounting industry, hopefully I am a valuable member of the Franchisee network now and collaborating with colleagues to accelerate the growth of my business and income. I am also contributing to enhancing DNS's reputation and expanding its reach across the UK with my fellow franchisees.
Q: Why did you choose Nottingham for your Franchise?
A: Nottingham is an enchanting city with a thriving small business economy, boosted by its status as a university city. My choice was significantly influenced by the fact that there are currently no Persian/Farsi-speaking accountants in Nottingham, despite the city being home to a plethora of small businesses, most of whom I believe will value the support and services I can provide.
Joining a Multi-Award-Winning firm with great client feedback, Reza Tavakoli is making his mark in Nottingham's business landscape.
dns is a modern, cutting-edge accountants franchise, which is perfect for experienced or newly qualified accountants, or even someone with great business acumen and passion to succeed! But don’t just take our word for it...
