of franchises. They assist by handling the financial aspect, which will allow you to focus
on the franchise. The Franchising Code of Conduct recommends that potential

Risks of not hiring a franchise accountant:
As a franchisee, you are required to complete a variety of tasks relating to the business.
Not delegating the financial matters to a franchise accountant can leave you at risk for
many reasons. Hiring a franchise accountant allows you more time to focus on the
business, which can reduce the time and travel needed to ensure all financial matters are.
Not only are franchise accountants certified to handle your financial matters, but they are
also familiar with the language used. Not hiring a franchise accountant leaves your
business at risk of running inefficiently. If you run your business inefficiently can result
in a profit loss, or even an inability to continue business.
