Multi-site operators
Accounting for multi-site franchise operators.
Two sites or twenty, across one entity or several: a financial view of every location and the whole portfolio, with better decisions built in.
What changes when you operate more than one franchise site?
Complexity grows faster than the number of sites. You need each location measured separately and consistently, shared costs allocated fairly, results consolidated across entities, and cash managed at group level so one site’s refurbishment or slow month doesn’t starve the others. The decisions also change: which site to grow, fix or exit, and they need site-level numbers to answer.
| Location | Sales | Site margin |
|---|---|---|
| Site A (CBD) | $41.2k | 13.4% |
| Site B (Suburban) | $33.9k | 10.1% |
| Site C (Shopping centre) | $46.7k | 4.6% |
| Site D (New opening) | $22.4k | -2.3% |

Challenges we help multi-site operators solve
Cost control across sites
Labour and cost of goods can vary widely between sites in the same network. Comparing them every month, on the same basis, shows where rostering, purchasing or pricing needs attention.
Entity structure
Operators often accumulate entities as they grow. We review whether the structure still suits your risk, finance, tax and exit plans, and keep intercompany accounts clean so consolidation is straightforward.
Financing growth
Lenders want site-level and group information. We prepare forecasts and financial packs that show how a new site will be funded and serviced.
Knowing when to exit a site
Sometimes the best decision is to sell or close an underperforming location. A clear view of its true contribution, lease obligations and sale value helps you decide.
Multi-site FAQs
Questions from multi-site operators
Can you consolidate results across several companies?
Yes. We prepare consolidated management reports across entities, eliminating intercompany charges and loans.
How should head office costs be shared between sites?
Keep them separate from site contribution, then allocate on a stated basis (such as sales share or hours) so site comparisons stay fair.
Can you help us decide whether to open another site?
Yes. We model the new site’s ramp-up, the effect on group cash and debt, and the return on investment. Our readiness framework.
