Why Franchise Owners Hate Franchise Accounting
It’s Inconsistent
Do each of your franchisees submit reports in different formats? Is inventory tracking a nightmare? Are royalty payments arriving late?
As a franchise owner, you likely deal with franchisees who each have their own method for balancing the books. Dealing with inconsistencies in sales reporting, inventory management, and royalty payments can cause stress and anxiety, not to mention mess with your bottom line.
It’s Complicated
For many franchise owners, bookkeeping is the most complex part of business operations. You must keep up with income, expenses, and financial records for multiple locations. You also have to track inventory levels, costs, and valuations for your locations. If your franchise spans a large region, you may have additional work related to reporting sales and income taxes for multiple states. All of this is often too complicated for a single person to maintain.
It’s Time-Consuming
Proper record-keeping is essential for franchise owners to maintain financial transparency and meet legal and financial reporting requirements. However, keeping organized records for multiple locations can be a daunting task. Reconciling the books for a single month may take days or even weeks to do, leaving you with very little time to deal with other critical components of owning a franchise, such as advertising and pursuing growth opportunities.
