TaxAssist Accountants Expands into Guelph, London, and Windsor, ON with New Multi-Unit Franchisees
TaxAssist Accountants is pleased to announce its continued growth in Ontario with the opening of the first of three new locations in Guelph followed by London and Windsor in 2026. These offices will be operated by Jeff Lawik and Garet Duggal, the newest entrepreneurs to join the expanding TaxAssist Canada franchise network.
“We are delighted to welcome Jeff and Garet to the TaxAssist Canada family,” said Moe Farhat, CEO of TaxAssist Canada. “The launch of these three new locations reflects both the growing demand for our expert tax and accounting services and the strength of our business model. Guelph, London, and Windsor are vibrant communities, and we’re excited to support Jeff and Garet as they introduce the TaxAssist model to these key regional markets.”
“Opening three locations is a big step, and we’re ready for it,” said Jeff Lawik and Garet Duggal. “We’re strong believers in the support TaxAssist provides to entrepreneurs, and we’re committed to being a trusted partner for small businesses across Guelph, London, and Windsor. Our focus is on building lasting relationships and delivering financial guidance that empowers our clients to succeed.”
TaxAssist Canada specializes in bookkeeping, tax returns, payroll, and advisory services for small businesses and self-employed professionals. The network is known for its approachable, customer-centric service and continues to expand rapidly across the country, offering franchisees a proven path to running successful accounting practices, while leveraging the strength of a national brand.
Thank you so much to you and the team for all of your support. As a large franchise we are still working our way through phone calls to each client however the fact that we have been able to keep all clients updated regularly and over the evenings and weekends helps us show clients that we are doing our very best to get this information out to them. Even if we lose clients due to their own financial situations, I am confident that the loyalty we will get back from those clients who survive this crisis will pay off in the years to come. Our job may not be an enviable one at the moment but I would hate to be running an Accountancy practice without the support of the network right now
