BooXkeeping, the innovative bookkeeping franchise, not only supports franchisors across the franchise industry, but also helps its own BooXkeeping franchisees by providing them clients and business in the franchise space. This dynamic creates a mutually beneficial ecosystem where BooXkeeping retains franchisors as clients and, in turn, provides business opportunities to its franchisees. 

“We got introduced to one franchisor in Texas because they were looking for bookkeeping for one of their franchisees,” said CEO Max Emma. “From there, we started doing more and more, and I personally began attending franchise events and meeting other franchisors. I absolutely love the model and the people."

One of the hundreds of franchise concepts that BooXkeeping now supports is NerdsToGo, a leading IT service and support franchise. Since partnering with BooXkeeping, NerdsToGo has experienced improved efficiency and consistency in financial reporting, along with enhanced franchisee productivity.

“We’re a technology company that provides IT services, computer support and repairs for homes and businesses and BooXkeeping perfectly aligns with what we do,” said Brand President Jim Howe. 

The Pain Points BooXkeeping Helped Solve

Before partnering with BooXkeeping, NerdsToGo franchisees were experiencing pain points in bookkeeping and accounting. 

“It really was the amount of time they were spending each month,” said Howe. “I was able to show them how a minimal spend with an outside resource like BooXkeeping could free up their time to be working on other aspects of their business knowing their bookkeeping was being handled by a trusted partner of NerdsToGo.” Now, Howe says that NeedsToGo franchisees are able to spend more time selling and meeting with customers. 

"By working with BooXkeeping, brands get uniform reporting,” said Emma. “We know the specifics of the brand, and we often work with the same vendors, making it more efficient for franchisees. We can become trusted advisors to the franchisees of certain brands.” 

Why Did NerdsToGo Choose BooXkeeping Over Other Solutions

With a handful of other bookkeeping and accounting solutions available, BooXkeeping stood out for its industry expertise, tailored solutions and proven results with other franchise brands.

“Like any good partnership, it was built on trust and a relationship,” said Howe. “I actually came across BooXkeeping at a franchise show. I thought it might be a good fit for our NerdsToGo brand. Max and I spoke often and then I personally ran a test of the BooXkeeping platform for a family business my wife runs and the results were great. I knew right then and there that I could bring it to my franchisees with confidence.”

Emma notes that BooXkeeping does bookkeeping for over 100 franchise brands in the United States. The brand’s experience and understanding of the challenges that franchisors face in collecting uniform data helps with everyday accounting and even with Item 19 preparation and annual audits. 

“Knowing that BooXkeeping understands the franchise space and the nuances involved certainly was a plus,” said Howe. 

How Partnering with BooXkeeping Has Impacted Efficiency 

Partnering with BooXkeeping for several years has yielded numerous benefits for NerdsToGo franchisees. “The platform has certainly impacted the operational efficiency of our franchisees as it has freed up upwards of 20 hours a month for some franchisees to focus on other aspects of building and running their successful businesses," said Howe. This collaboration has also streamlined the franchisor’s financial reviews with franchisees, ensuring accurate P&Ls and timely evaluations.

Why Franchisors Should Partner with BooXkeeping

BooXkeeping’s deep understanding of franchising and its commitment to consistent reporting make it an ideal partner for brands looking to improve efficiency and data accuracy. “We take the preparation of financial statements away from franchisees, so they can concentrate on growing their respective businesses, said Emma. “The more money each franchisee makes, the more royalties the franchisors collect, creating a win-win for everyone."

BooXkeeping's approach emphasizes tailored solutions that cater to the specific needs of each franchise brand, allowing the brand to offer consistent and reliable support to franchisees. For NerdsToGo, this has made all the difference. 

“I think our job as a franchisor is to always be looking for programs and products that can help our franchisees become more successful,” said Howe. “And anytime that we can save them time — because ultimately time is money — it's absolutely worth at least exploring to see if there's a way to positively impact their business.”
