Broker a better return on your time

Sarah Stowe

Are you tired of doing the same job without the rewards you were expecting? 

Think back to when you were studying finance or accounting at uni or college, and then how you stretched yourself thin to become a CPA.

Is this the type of job you expected when you were studying all those years?

You’ve been in the game for some time.

You’re putting a lot of time into your job.

You’re making sure there is a return on every investment – for the shareholder.

You’re logging the same long hours from Monday to Friday (sometimes even weekends).

Or maybe you have run a business, but found yourself doing everything.

What if there was a job in your field that could be rewarding?

A job that allowed you to fulfil your potential? A role where you could stay back for your ambitions, and not the shareholders’?

And one that allowed flexibility for you to spend more time with your family?

You want a better return on your time.

Meet Dieter Stahmer. He is a CPA with extensive experience as an accountant. He had owned and run a variety of businesses before buying the Queensland-based Wynnum Smartline Personal Advisers franchise.

“I wanted to do the parts of the business that I wanted to do,” he said.

Smartline franchisees don’t have to worry about the back-end of a business like the marketing or IT. The franchisor takes care of all that, so franchisees can focus on the business. And as a busy dad with four kids, the flexibility is also a plus for Stahmer.

And to top it all off, the work is rewarding.

He says there is something very humbling about being part of the emotional journey with your clients buying their dream home. Especially when they are genuinely thankful for your part in making their dreams come true.

“It’s far more satisfying than accounting,” adds Kerri Fuller, Queensland-based Manly franchisee.

She is a CPA too, and worked at Ernst & Young for 10 years as an accountant. She said that the job was probably not what she expected when she was studying.

After working at Stockland as a management accountant, she wanted to leverage her passion for real estate and her expertise with numbers. Fuller said Smartline was most definitely the best choice for her.

An average week for a Smartline franchisee is all but average. There are ebbs and flows of busy times, which allow you to catch your breath and make time for the important things.

As a working mum, Fuller can operate her business from home. And in her view, the franchise support is invaluable.

Smartline can offer you a great customer service business, with fantastic potential income, both upfront and residual.
