Can you track financials separately for each franchise location?
Yes. We set up your chart of accounts with location-level tracking so you get a separate P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow for each unit. You can also view consolidated financials across all locations for a complete picture.
How do you handle royalty fee tracking?
We calculate and track royalty fees based on your franchise agreement — whether it's a percentage of gross sales, net sales, or a flat fee. Royalty accruals are recorded monthly and reconciled against franchisor statements.
Do you handle franchise fee amortization?
Yes. Initial franchise fees are capitalized as intangible assets and amortized over the term of your franchise agreement (typically 10-20 years). We maintain the amortization schedule and record monthly entries automatically.
Can you help with FDD compliance reporting?
We maintain financial records in the format required for Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) compliance. This includes proper revenue recognition, expense classification, and the financial statements required for Item 21 of the FDD.
How do you track marketing fund contributions?
Marketing fund contributions (national ad fund, local advertising co-op) are tracked as separate expense categories per your franchise agreement. We reconcile contributions against franchisor statements and track ROI where measurable.
Do you support multi-brand franchise owners?
Yes. If you own locations across multiple franchise brands, we set up separate entity tracking for each brand while providing consolidated reporting across your entire portfolio. Each brand's royalty structure and fee schedule is tracked independently.
Your franchise deserves a bookkeeper who gets multi-unit operations.
