About Austin Jones

Account Manager specializing in franchise partnerships, client success, and revenue growth within high-volume tax service environments. I manage relationships with a tax preparation franchise to drive adoption of Tax Protection Plus solutions, improve engagement, and increase overall portfolio performance. In my current role, I’ve helped deliver a 51% increase in revenue and a 27% increase in case influence through targeted outreach, structured follow-up strategies, and a focus on converting underutilized offices into active partners. I work directly with franchise owners to simplify complex offerings, strengthen product credibility, and turn hesitant accounts into consistent adopters. I operate best in performance-driven environments where growth depends on execution, consistency, and relationship management. My focus is always on improving adoption, reducing friction in onboarding, and identifying scalable ways to increase partner value. Currently pursuing an Associate’s Degree in Business Administration (Management & Operations) at Forsyth Technical Community College and will transfer to UNC Greensboro to continue in their Bachelor\'s program.
