Bookkeeper tracking franchise royalties and per location results in QuickBooks Online

Built for franchise owners

Books that speak the franchise language

Running a franchise means running two sets of expectations at once. You have your own numbers to watch, and you have the franchisor watching too. We keep the books that satisfy both. Every royalty, every advertising fund contribution, and every location sits in the right place in QuickBooks Online, so your reporting lines up with the standard chart of accounts your brand expects and nothing gets flagged as missing.

What we handle

Your franchise bookkeeping, covered

Royalty tracking

We record and reconcile every royalty owed to your franchisor, so the amount you remit matches your sales.

Always accurate

Advertising fund contributions

Ad fund and marketing levies are tracked as their own line, kept separate from your operating costs and never muddled.

Clean and clear

Per location results

Run more than one unit? We use classes and locations in QuickBooks Online so you see each store on its own and all of them together.

One or many

Franchisor reporting

We prepare the numbers your brand asks for on its schedule, mapped to the chart of accounts head office wants to see.

On schedule

Bank and POS reconciliation

We match your point of sale takings to the bank so daily sales, deposits, and fees all agree at the end of the month.

Reconciled monthly

Payroll support

Staff across locations paid and recorded correctly. See our payroll service for the full picture.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. E-commerce can get complicated fast with fees and multiple payment platforms. Better Books Canada broke it down in a way that actually made sense. Reports arrive on time and highlight what needs attention. It’s been easier to focus on growth instead of trying to reconcile transactions late at night.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This firm is amazingly detail focused and client centric. I have been using them since the conception of my business and without their expertise and dedication to the numbers of it all I would not be able to flourish the way I am. Furthermore, Bashar is personable, patient, incredibly knowledgeable, timely, trustworthy, genuine and all around a total win to have on any team for financial services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a consultant working with federal clients in Ottawa, I needed someone who understood proper documentation and clean records. The team organized everything and set up consistent reporting so nothing slips through the cracks. It has saved hours every month. Things just feel under control now.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bashar is incredibly competent, knowledgeable and honest. He is not a bookkeeper that likes to meddle in grey areas. He has worked for the CRA and does everything he can to protect and inform his clients. He provides an incredible amount of value compared to the amount that he charges, and it’s truly been a pleasure working with him. I highly recommend Bashar if anyone is looking for bookkeeping services in Ottawa.
