FRANCHISEE ACCOUNTING

We are an accounting firm that offers an accounting and tax compliance package for franchisees throughout New Zealand. We are a team of experienced accountants focused on small businesses – our motto is ‘we focus on the accounting and tax, allowing your franchisees to focus on what they do best’.  We would love to get involved with helping you and your franchisees.

The advantages of having a preferred accountant are:

• Makes it easy for new franchisees - one less thing for your new franchise to sort and as your specialist accountants, we understand exactly their accounting and tax requirements.

• We provide standardised financial reporting so all franchisees are in the same format.

• To the franchisor - the knowledge that all franchisees are IRD compliant and set up correctly.

• Centralised accounting, so one point of contact to the franchisor.

• Healthcheck reporting and meetings available to the franchisor.

• Centralised billing available.

• We are Xero certified advisors.

How a preferred Franchise Accountant works:

• All existing franchisees have the opportunity to switch however generally this isn't compulsory because they likely will already have a good relationship with their current accountant.

• A key part of the process is all new franchisees are set up through Clare & Associates Ltd as part of the onboarding process.

Our onboarding process:

• We make this easy!

• Arrange a discovery call with the franchisee to discuss their structure, accounting & tax requirements.

• Engagement Letter emailed to the franchisee to be signed.

• Once signed we will attend to any Xero requirements, IRD registrations and they are ready to go - fully IRD compliant and with a dedicated accountant
