Running a franchise is a business like any other — but it comes with its own quirks, and most high-street accountants treat it like everything else. We don't. We work with franchisees across a range of models, and we understand the day-to-day reality of running one.
If you're out on your round all week, the last thing you want on a Sunday evening is a shoebox of receipts and a settlement statement you're not sure how to record. That's where we come in.
We understand the franchise model
Whether you operate a mobile, van-based tool franchise or a fixed-site operation, we're familiar with how these businesses actually work: weekly or monthly settlement statements from your franchisor, stock held on the van, vehicle and equipment finance or lease agreements, franchise fees, and the self-employed (or limited company) structure most franchisees trade through. You won't have to explain the basics to us — we already speak the language.
What we can do for you
Bookkeeping built around your weekly takings and settlement statements
VAT registration and returns when you need them
Practical advice on van and equipment finance, and the tax treatment that goes with it
Forward tax planning, so there are no nasty surprises at year-end
A clear view of how your business is really performing
Year end accounts and self assessment, prepared accurately and on time
Why franchisees choose us
We explain things in plain English, with no jargon. We're proactive — we plan ahead rather than scrambling at deadlines — and we won't go quiet once you've signed up; we keep you in the loop and we're easy to reach. You'll have a dedicated point of contact who gets to know you and your business, and our fees are fair and agreed up front, with no surprise bills.
