With a rich background in accounting and a partnership spanning over a decade, the trio recognized a significant gap in the bookkeeping market. Their solution?&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/booxkeeping/info">BooXkeeping</a>, an accounting franchise that allows them to provide top-notch bookkeeping services while focusing on their primary expertise in tax planning and compliance.&nbsp;“The franchise world is nice because there is a framework, resources and support to start a business, making it much easier than doing it on your own,” said Newman. “When you do it on your own, piecemeal and ad hoc, you don’t have all the pieces in place. A franchise helps you know what you don’t know, which is a huge benefit.”1851 Franchise spoke with Frost, Newman, and Stone to learn more about their franchising journey, why they chose BooXkeeping and their plans for the future.&nbsp;1851 Franchise: Frame your personal story for us. What did you do before franchising, and how did you decide franchising made sense for you?Todd Newman: Jared and I are both CPAs, and we worked for one of the Big Four accounting firms until about 18 years ago. In a roundabout way, we started our own firms and ended up merging our firms together in 2011. We’ve been partners since then as CPAs, running mostly a tax firm but doing a bit of bookkeeping out of necessity. From there, we realized that people need good bookkeeping, but it’s not the best use of a CPA’s time. So how can we solve this problem?1851: What was your perception of franchising prior to becoming a franchisee, and what do you want people to know about franchising now that you are in it?Newman: Jared and I both became franchisees with&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-much-does-it-cost-to-open-a-gameday-mens-health-franchise-2724764">Gamesday Men’s Health</a>, a testosterone replacement franchise organization that uses BooXkeeping as the accounting provider. When we were getting on board there and founder&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxemma/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=cpas-and-gameday-mens-health-franchisees-open-booxkeeping-franchise-in-las-vegas-2727541" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Max Emma</a> found out we were CPAs, he suggested we look into BooXkeeping as a franchise. We saw a problem in our own firm that we didn’t have a solution for. The more we talked to Max, the more we realized we had the support to address that issue.We both came from the corporate world, where it’s a pyramid. Our plan was always to just stay lean and mean, low overhead and have a comfortable life. But we’ve both managed to complicate that a little bit by franchising. It was kind of accidental entrepreneurship, but it feels natural to our skillset.1851: What made you pick this brand? What excites you most about this company?Newman: Our higher rate per hour is on the tax side, not the bookkeeping side, so we needed to push it to a more efficient environment. We also know from other colleagues that they have the same problem, so we think it’ll be a solution for CPAs all over town.&nbsp;Most of my focus is on our tax planning and compliance efforts. We don’t do any audit or insurance work; we are a tax firm that reluctantly does bookkeeping. BooXkeeping allows us to still be involved and shepherd the process while having others do the actual work. It’s hard to get good people and train them on bookkeeping, so BooXkeeping, which has offshore bookkeepers who can plug into our system, makes it much easier for us.1851: What do you hope to achieve with your business? What are your plans for growth?Jared Frost: We are hoping to connect with other CPAs who want to push to the higher rate per hour. We can provide them with good data so they can still do excellent tax planning. We can scale based on those relationships. We also have connections with payroll salespeople and other industry professionals who are always looking for bookkeeping services. We hope to scale that side bigger than we ever imagined.1851: What is the one thing about your story you want us to know?Newman: A lot of CPA firms reluctantly take on bookkeeping and build out a team for it, but most local smaller CPA firms aren’t well equipped for it. Your options are either a CPA who doesn’t offer bookkeeping or someone without much of an accounting background. Jared and I are both CPAs and will be very involved in this franchise, ensuring the quality of the product. That’s a plus for us and for any CPAs like us researching the brand. BooXkeeping provides an alternative to having a non-specialist handle their accounting. We can do it at a reasonable price point, from startups to mature companies. We bring a skill set and offering for businesses at all levels.1851: What advice do you have for other people thinking about becoming a franchise owner?David Stone: The franchise world is nice because there is a framework, resources and support to start a business, making it much easier than doing it on your own. When you do it on your own, piecemeal and ad hoc, you don’t have all the pieces in place. A franchise helps you know what you don’t know, which is a huge benefit. At the same time, it’s still a grind, and you’ll have to work hard. Nothing falls into your lap. Anybody interested or with an entrepreneurial spirit who is willing to bet on themselves will find that doing it with the help of a franchise has a much better potential outcome than doing it on your own.For more information on franchising with BooXkeeping, visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/booxkeeping/info">https://1851franchise.com/booxkeeping/info</a>.ABOUT BOOXKEEPINGBooXkeeping is a bookkeeping franchise that combines professional expertise with genuine human connection to provide cutting-edge bookkeeping services for small and medium-sized businesses, franchisees, franchisors, CPA firms and more.

<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sofiabongardbooxkeeping/">Sofia Bongard’s</a> decision to franchise with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.booxkeepingfranchise.com/">BooXkeeping</a>,&nbsp;a leading franchise network providing remote bookkeeping services, came after years inside the business. Long before she opened her location in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.booxkeeping.com/locations/san-diego-east/">East San Diego</a>, she met founder&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxemma/">Max Emma</a> and worked for&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/booxkeeping/info">BooXkeeping’s</a> corporate operation, where she got a clear view of how the company served clients and operated day to day. That early vantage point is what made her decision a practical one: go independent or franchise with the company she already knew.Ironically, when Emma first raised the idea of franchising, Bongard wasn’t eager to sign on immediately. She said no, then sat with it. A few months later, she came back ready to move forward.“It was like a seed in my mind,” Bongard said. “And then a few months later, I came to him. I said, ‘You know what? I’m ready. I’ll do this.’”<h2>Autonomy and Boundaries</h2>For Bongard, ownership was tied to control over time. She wanted the flexibility to meet client deadlines without having her life dictated by a fixed schedule. That desire also intersected with personal health concerns, which pushed her to rethink what she was willing to trade for work.“I was done with people telling me what to do with my day. With accounting, as long as you meet the due dates for clients, it doesn’t really matter if you do it at 3 a.m. or 5 p.m.,” she said. “I had some personal health issues, and that was really the break point for me. Nothing is really worth putting your health at risk.”That philosophy shows up in how she structures her weeks now. She builds her work around her family and her routines, then focuses on the windows when she needs to close out the month and review financials with clients. She describes the work as concentrated rather than constant, with heavier client touchpoints early in the month and more independent production work through the rest.<h2>Why BooXkeeping Instead of Going Solo</h2>Bongard’s choice to franchise wasn’t about needing a new skill set. It was about the parts of business ownership she didn’t want to carry alone — especially marketing and visibility.“I hate doing anything advertising and social media,” she said. “I’m not good at it.”That’s where BooXkeeping’s presence became a deciding factor. Bongard says she hadn’t realized how often prospects research service providers before reaching out, but she saw quickly how an established brand changes that dynamic.“People see you and they secretly Google you, and I didn’t know that,” Bongard said. “So it went from, ‘Hi, I’m Sofia Bongard — no one on the internet,’ to ‘This company has been there for years and they actually have some links to social media and stuff.’”She also values the brand’s tone in sales conversations. Rather than pushing prospects, she describes an approach that aligns with how she prefers to work. “It’s very straightforward: ‘Hey, I do bookkeeping. You want it? Great. You don’t want it? OK, it’s fine,’” Bongard said. “There’s no desperation.”<h2>Getting Started With Support</h2>Even with her background, Bongard says the early challenges of ownership weren’t technical accounting questions. They were business questions — pricing, setup and the administrative lift of launching. Fortunately, Emma was able to help her keep her perspective by reassuring her that the early scramble wouldn’t last and she’d soon find her footing.“At the beginning, I had no clue how to price my services,” Bongard said. “I was just drowning with all the permits and everything that you had to do, but Max reassured me it was only temporary. ‘It’s fine,’ he told me. ‘I know you feel like you’re drowning, but you are on the boat with us.’”Bongard acknowledges franchising comes with royalties, but she frames the cost as part of running any business — and one she’s willing to pay for brand presence and support. “It doesn’t bother me to pay royalties because the support they’re giving me and the presence they’re giving me — it’s the infrastructure I need,” Bongard said.&nbsp;For Bongard, franchising with BooXkeeping ultimately offered what she was looking for: a familiar system, built-in visibility and room to run the business in a way that fits her life. “Me being in control of what I do or what I don’t do has made me very happy,” she said.To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/BooXkeeping">https://1851franchise.com/BooXkeeping</a>.

LANSING, Mich.&nbsp;—&nbsp;<a href="https://www.booxkeepingfranchise.com/">BooXkeeping</a>, a leading franchise network providing remote bookkeeping services, announced a year of significant growth and operational achievements, positioning the brand for continued success in 2026.In 2025, BooXkeeping expanded to 14 franchise locations in nine states, more than doubling its franchise network.&nbsp;&nbsp;“We have momentum and proof of the concept,” said BooXkeeping Co-Founder and CEO&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxemma">Max Emma</a>. “Selling the first couple of franchises is the hardest part. But once you have successful franchisees that can share their stories, it makes a huge difference for any brand. That’s what happened with BooXkeeping. We now have seasoned franchisees who have been in the system for a while.”The franchise also further strengthened its operational infrastructure via the launch of BooxDesk 2.0, an upgraded internal support system that streamlines document signing, meeting scheduling, budgeting and prospect communication. The platform’s mobile-friendly apps have also helped deliver enhanced efficiency.BooXkeeping’s growth reflects a broader market shift, with remote bookkeeping services gaining greater acceptance among American businesses.&nbsp;“Before the lockdown in 2020, almost everybody wanted their bookkeeper in their city or office. Now, remote services are widely accepted and businesses trust the security,” Emma said. “We’ve also seen more new businesses starting in the U.S., all of which need bookkeeping. Many business advisors suggest owners focus on growing their businesses and outsource everything else. Well, BooXkeeping is a perfect example.”As BooXkeeping looks ahead to 2026, and further growth, the company is launching innovative new strategies to continue driving success for franchise owners. It is also coordinating a complete rebrand that incorporates modern technology and design while maintaining the company’s core values, with the rollout set to be complete by February 1.“Starting in 2026, we will offer options for new franchises to purchase BooXkeeping clients from day one, which will make them cash-flow positive immediately,” Emma said. “That’s a unique model. Not many franchises can do this and I believe it will take us to the next trajectory of growth.”In many ways, 2025 served as a turning point for BooXkeeping, laying the groundwork for steady, long-term growth. With new systems in place and a sharper focus on franchisee performance, the brand enters 2026 prepared to keep building on that momentum.ABOUT BOOXKEEPINGBooXkeeping is a bookkeeping franchise that combines professional expertise with genuine human connection to provide cutting-edge bookkeeping services for small and medium-sized businesses, franchisees, franchisors, CPA firms, and more.
