Financial Statement Audits & Reviews for Franchises

Our clients appreciate that we go beyond the numbers

Do you remember the last time your auditor saved your money? During a recent audit, Plante Moran identified that that a franchisor’s leases appeared to be above market. Thanks to their due diligence, the client was able to renegotiate its leases, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It’s this commitment to going beyond financial statement compliance that distinguishes Plante Moran from other firms. Sure, we deliver objective, independent, accurate information in a timely manner, but that’s only a portion of the value we provide. We continuously look to uncover opportunities to help the franchise industry and multi-unit businesses grow, save money, and improve operations—and we do this at any point within a business’s life cycle.

You will benefit from our experience and geographic reach

 Plante Moran auditors have been working with the franchise industry and multi-unit organizations for decades. Many of our auditors have experience working in the industry and understand the industry as only those with inside knowledge can. In addition, we’re accustomed to serving multi-location entities, whether that means traveling to sites within the United States or internationally. Our geographic reach is limitless.

Technology assures a pain-free audit 
Our audit process is highly technology-driven. It’s designed to identify efficiencies and minimize the amount of time and effort required of your internal staff. Time and time again, our clients have remarked on our pain-free audit—even when a client is transitioning accounting firms.

You will enjoy working with us

Many organizations and publications have honored Plante Moran as a best place to work. That is because of a culture that develops staff and puts clients first.

You benefit in a number of ways. First, this culture translates into very low turnover, so you’ll see many of the same faces year after year. Second, the culture promotes collaboration; this means our audit and tax teams work together seamlessly to deliver the solutions you need to make the best decisions for your business. Finally, the culture attracts passionate staff that enjoy their work and helping franchisors and multi-unit businesses succeed. We can confidently say that you’ll enjoy working with our financial statement auditing team.

Two Men and a Truck is a franchisor that believes in total transparency. That is why we put so much emphasis on the quality of our FDD (franchise disclosure document) and even include Item 19 (earnings claims). We also realize our success depends heavily on the success of our franchisees so we invest in preparing them for the challenges they are going to face. For most franchisees, their business income will be filtered through to their personal balance sheets. In other words, the sustainability of their businesses and the security of their families are very closely connected. That is why we emphasize the need for a good business advisor and an experienced wealth manager. For an efficient and effective integrated approach, we share our personal example. The specialists at Plante Moran have gained our trust. They do our business audits and estate and personal tax planning.
