Every Location on One Ledger, Every Royalty Accrued
Run each unit as its own dimension for a true per-location P&L, accrue royalty and advertising-fund fees automatically as sales post, and roll the system up for franchisor reporting and FDD Item 19 unit economics - instead of stitching a folder of QuickBooks files together at month end.
Illustrative product view
Location as a first-class dimension
Each location is a dimension on the shared ledger, so a per-unit P&L is a filter rather than a separate company file. Royalty and ad-fund fees accrue automatically off net sales as they post, with the percentage and base configurable per franchise agreement, and the franchisor sees the whole network roll up without asking every operator for an export.
| Capability | How it works |
|---|---|
| Per-location P&L | Unit dimension on the ledger - filter, don’t consolidate files |
| Royalty accrual | Configurable % of a defined sales base, accrued as sales post |
| Ad / marketing fund | Separate accrual with its own rate and payable |
| FDD Item 19 | Unit-economics roll-up for the disclosure’s financial performance representation |
Franchisor and franchisee, same rails
- Franchisors get network roll-up, royalty integrity checks, and benchmarking across units
- Franchisees get a real per-location ledger instead of a shared spreadsheet
- Multi-currency reporting for cross-border networks (translation, per the consolidation feature)
- The ad fund is tracked as its own restricted pool, not mixed into operating cash
Frequently asked questions
Can Fintra give me a P&L for each franchise location?
Yes - each location is a dimension on the shared ledger, so a per-location P&L is a filter on one set of books rather than a separate company file you consolidate at month end.
How are royalties and ad-fund fees calculated?
Royalty and advertising-fund fees accrue automatically off a defined net-sales base as sales post, with the percentage and base configurable per franchise agreement. The ad fund is tracked as its own restricted pool with its own payable.
Does it support FDD Item 19?
It computes a unit-economics roll-up across locations to support the Item 19 financial performance representation. That output is a reporting aid, not legal or franchise-compliance advice - have counsel review the actual disclosure.
Does Fintra collect royalties from franchisees for me?
No. Fintra accrues and reports royalty and ad-fund amounts, but moving the money still runs through your existing bank or payment setup. There is no built-in automated royalty collection rail today.
