Before we made the switch, we were using archaic software that had been heavily customized, was costly to maintain, and wasn’t integrated. It was clear that we needed a new, more robust financial system that could sync with our payment portal in real-time to eliminate duplicate data entry and manual work. We looked at both NetSuite and Sage Intacct, and ultimately chose Sage Intacct because it offered sophisticated multi-entity ERP functionality in the cloud, as well as proven integrations with partner solutions like 2CP's customer payment portal.

Franchise management and accounting software FAQs

Franchise owners who manage multiple locations face a challenge: how to maintain quality control and efficient operations in each location, especially if they are spread across the country or around the world.  Franchise owners and franchisors can use online franchise accounting software to help manage their business. This type of software allows franchise owners to access their financial records from anywhere, so that both parties have instant access to the numbers being generated by the business.

We’ve built our franchise accounting software to support the evolving needs of the hospitality industry. Our hospitality accounting software features includes:

  • Automated multi-entity financial management. Push-button consolidations aggregate transactions in minutes across your franchise with multiple entities, stores, regions, properties, and brands. Gain efficiencies and free-up resources by automating and streamlining financial multi-entity processes like procurement, month end close and intercompany consolidations.
  • Powerful reporting and dashboards. Improve cash flow and revenue forecasting with real-time visibility into cost and performance data giving you the insights that you need to make informed management decisions. Gain real-time visibility into metrics and KPIs that matter for your franchise business.
  • True cloud technology with open API. Track metrics central to your organization’s entire business by leveraging key data from your property management system (PMS), point-of-sale (POS), payroll and other existing or future systems important for your business.
  • Strong core accounting. Our key core accounting features provide the foundation for your financials: a dimensional general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, cash management, order management, purchasing, and Sage Collaborate to communicate with your team in real-time.

Automation in franchise accounting software frees you from hours of manual tasks and significantly lowers the risk of human error - which can have costly consequences. You save thousands on monthly invoicing and collections, freeing up resources and time for more strategic tasks.

Sage Intacct is a highly configurable, complete, modern cloud-based franchise accounting software solution that accommodates the needs of franchises of varying sizes and complexities.
