FranFinance gives your corporate team network-wide financial visibility without collecting spreadsheets from every location. Each location connects its own accounting software, and FranFinance standardizes the results so you can set targets, compare locations fairly, and see where to focus. This guide answers the questions franchisor admins ask most often, in plain language.
What does FranFinance do for us as the franchisor?
It turns every location's books into a consistent set of financial benchmarks, then rolls them up so you can see the whole network at once. You set the targets locations aim for, group similar locations for comparison, and monitor which locations need attention, all from one place. The result is visibility you would otherwise spend days assembling by hand.
Who are the different types of users, and what can each do?
FranFinance uses roles to control what each person can see and do. The table below summarizes the roles your corporate team works with most. Define these terms once and they hold throughout: a location is a single franchisee unit, and a benchmark target is a goal ratio you set for the network.
Role | Typical user | What they can do |
Franchisor Admin | Corporate owner | Full control of the franchise: create locations, invite users, set targets, build peer groups, view every location. |
Franchisor Assistant | Corporate support staff | View-only access to users, locations, and reports. Cannot create or change users or locations. |
Business Advisor | Coach or consultant | Views only the locations assigned to them and can build peer groups they manage. Ideal for hands-on support. |
Franchisee Admin | Location owner | Runs one location: connects accounting, maps accounts, invites location staff. |
Finance Manager | Location finance staff | Location-level finance access, similar to the location owner, without corporate settings. |
A simplified view of the roles corporate teams manage. Access is always scoped to your own franchise.
