Franchise Accounting

Why Franchise Accounting?

Whether your goal is to grow by acquiring new franchises, maximise the profitability of your existing locations, or achieve the highest sale price in a successful exit, the key lies in solid financials. With almost a decade of experience working alongside a multi-unit franchisee of a global restaurant brand, we understand the challenges and complexities involved in operating a successful franchise alongside producing meaningful financial insights.

Your POS system holds a wealth of valuable data, but its built-in reports are often clunky and difficult to use. Data only becomes powerful when it’s presented in a way that’s clear, meaningful, and aligned with your business goals. At Relish, we extract the raw data from your POS and transform it into insightful, easy-to-understand financial reports. These reports don’t just show you how your business is performing—they help you create a strategic roadmap for your future success.

Our Services

Management Accounts and Insights

We provide clear, insightful management accounts for franchisees, at both group and unit levels. By transforming raw data from your POS into meaningful reports, we highlight key performance indicators (KPIs) to help you track performance and make informed decisions for business success.

Bookkeeping

Management information drives sustainable growth, but it’s only valuable with a solid foundation. We handle the essentials—from bookkeeping and purchase ledger management to sales receipt reconciliations—ensuring everything is accounted for and every hard-earned penny is accurately received into your bank account.

Budgets and Forecasting

Successful growth relies on effective planning and forecasting. We help you create detailed annual budgets that align your group vision with unit goals. Using these, we develop profit and cash flow forecasts, providing a clear roadmap to anticipate challenges, make informed decisions, and maximise profitability.
