The two-year plan projects 100-plus total units open and in development in the next 20 months, building on the momentum the company has established.

Impressively, for the past couple years, existing ATAX locations have shown double digit percentage increases in revenues and the number of tax preparations completed.

Plus, ATAX has a significant number of new openings on the horizon in 2015, further cementing the company's thrust into the national spotlight.

"ATAX is part of a small number of franchise businesses that are on the cusp of extraordinary growth," said Rafael Alvarez, who is the esteemed recipient of the 2015 International Franchise Association's Ronald E. Harrison Award, a recognition that celebrates the remarkable contributions he has made for minorities within the ATAX franchise system. "I can't say enough about how hard the entire ATAX executive team has worked to tailor the ATAX franchise opportunity for today's professionals, talented individuals who want to gain control of their lives professionally and personally - whether new to entrepreneurship or converting an independent tax, payroll, bookkeeping business to ATAX." Alvarez' proven leadership experience and entrepreneurial achievements have created an undeniable energy around the concept. The vibe can be felt at all levels of the franchise organization, and now it has given way to the company's most dynamic U.S. growth plan to date.

As announced today, the large-scale growth strategy projects new units dotting the map in attractive territories within its core mid-Atlantic markets, and into other southeast, Midwest, New England, and west coast regions. Today's news marks the culmination of more than a year of enhancement efforts to elevate the ATAX business model. Currently, there are 40 ATAX locations in seven states.

"We have designed ATAX to be the most relevant business model in our category," added Alvarez. "Because it is a year-round provider to its clients, ATAX offers our franchisees recurring revenues and boosted profitability." ATAX stands alone in the tax preparation category. It is three businesses in one: Tax preparation Payroll services Bookkeeping The revitalization of the U.S. economy, which is largely being driven by the type of small and medium-sized businesses, and hard-working Americans that ATAX serves, gives the concept's franchisees a tremendous client base. This includes a surging trend in Latino entrepreneurs, who find ATAX to be an attractive option for tax preparation, payroll and accounting services because of the company's deep Hispanic roots and English-Spanish bilingual offices.

As ATAX expands, it is awarding franchise opportunities to qualified individuals who share the company's commitment to running the business year-round, who will follow the proven business model and who are driven to succeed. Tailored for individuals and small teams looking for greater professional independence and for existing tax preparation, payroll and bookkeeping offices that can benefit from ATAXs ongoing operational, technology and marketing support, the franchise model provides structure and scalability.
