$260 / month
Your books, aligned to the network — every single month
When your figures follow the same standard as every other unit in the system, comparisons become fair, reporting becomes straightforward, and you stop second-guessing whether your numbers will hold up.
The Promise
Books you can hand over with confidence
Franchisee Bookkeeping from Franwell means your accounts are kept to the same chart of accounts and reporting standard your franchisor expects — so when the numbers are needed, they're ready and they make sense to everyone who reads them.
Comparable figures
Your books use the same structure as the rest of the network — so unit-to-unit comparisons are fair rather than misleading.
Reporting deadlines met
Monthly figures are prepared and ready when your franchisor needs them — without the last-minute scramble to pull things together.
Clear view of your unit
You get a straightforward picture of how your unit is performing — presented in a way that's readable, not a puzzle to decode.
The Problem
Franchise bookkeeping has layers a standard accountant can miss
Running a franchise unit means your accounting isn't quite like a standalone business. Royalty calculations, marketing fund contributions, and the reporting format your franchisor uses — these aren't standard fare for most bookkeeping services.
What often happens is that books get kept in a way that works locally but doesn't translate cleanly to the network's reporting requirements. That creates friction: figures need to be reworked before they can be submitted, and comparisons with other units are awkward at best.
It's not a failing — it's simply that franchise accounting has a specific shape, and generic bookkeeping rarely fits it without adjustment.
Does any of this sound familiar?
- Your bookkeeper handles the basics but isn't familiar with franchise reporting formats
- Month-end reporting to your franchisor feels rushed or requires extra preparation
- Royalty and marketing fund figures get calculated separately rather than flowing naturally from the books
- You're not always certain your figures are truly comparable with other units in the network
The Solution
Bookkeeping built around how your franchise system works
We start by understanding your specific franchise agreement — the reporting format, the chart of accounts, the royalty structure, and whatever else your franchisor expects. Then we keep your books to that standard from day one.
01
Aligned from the start
We review your franchise disclosure documents and reporting requirements to set up a chart of accounts that matches the network standard exactly.
02
Monthly bookkeeping handled
Every transaction recorded to the agreed structure — income, expenses, royalties, and marketing fund contributions all tracked in the right categories.
03
Reports that fit your system
Monthly statements prepared in the format your franchisor expects — ready to submit without rework or reformatting.
04
Ongoing consistency
If your franchise system updates its reporting requirements, we adjust accordingly — keeping your books aligned as things evolve.
The Experience
What working together looks like
We begin with a short onboarding conversation — usually just one call — where we go over your franchise agreement, your current bookkeeping setup, and any specific requirements from your franchisor. From there, we take over the monthly work.
Each month, you receive a clear summary of your unit's figures alongside the franchisor-ready report. If there's anything that needs your input — an unusual transaction, a question about a category — we'll reach out directly rather than making assumptions.
The aim is for your bookkeeping to feel settled and predictable. You know it's being handled to the right standard, so you can put your attention on running the unit.
Onboarding call
We go through your franchise requirements together and set up your chart of accounts before we start recording anything.

Our Commitment
Starting a conversation costs nothing
We're happy to have an initial call to understand your franchise setup and what your reporting requirements look like — with no obligation to proceed. If we're a good fit, we'll tell you clearly what working together would involve. If we're not, we'll say that too.
Once you're a client, if something isn't working — a report format that doesn't quite match your system, a category that needs adjusting — we sort it out. Getting the books right is the whole point, so we stay with it until they are.
