3 Tips for Transitioning from Corporate Life to a Bookkeeping Franchise Opportunity
We understand the apprehension that comes with jumping into franchising from a corporate job. Deciding to work for yourself is a huge decision, and it’s not always easy. That’s why we endeavor to make the transition to a bookkeeping franchise opportunity as seamless as possible. We offer a turnkey investment with a proven business model, built-in brand awareness, and a sophisticated training infrastructure, designed to make the transition as easy as possible. Through our comprehensive franchisee education process, training materials, and supportive community, our franchisees are prepared and confident when they open their doors.
Educate Yourself
Just as you want to make sure you have all the information before partnering with a franchisor, we also want to get to know you before welcoming you into our franchisee family. We believe you should have all the information you need to make this important career decision. Our application process is designed to give you all the information you need to make an informed decision, and guide you through the early stages of franchising. We do require a few financial prerequisites to ensure that you’re capable of making the investment, and that you’re financially prepared for the challenge of running your own franchise. We also encourage you to participate in our comprehensive Discovery Experience, in which you’ll speak with members of our Leadership Team, and learn all about Supporting Strategies from our extensive collection of materials and literature, fully outlining what you can expect as a new franchisee.
Training
After you’ve learned all about the bookkeeping franchise opportunity, met with our Leadership Team, and had your application accepted, you’ll begin the training process. This includes training seminars to make sure you are thoroughly prepared, and diving into an extensive suite of educational and training materials, called Supporting Strategies University (SSU). SSU is our repository of educational materials, including on-demand video-based courses and a library complete with standardized procedures, customized templates and articles on bookkeeping, operations, business development, and franchise management. We also offer live training and support, and our Support Team is always on-hand to manage support request tickets, document scanning and management needs, IT issues and more.
Our Community
In addition to our experienced Leadership Team, who are always available to field your questions, we’ll assign you a cohort of approximately eight other new franchisees. We believe this is important for acclimating to franchise ownership, as it gives you a support system of others who have the same goals, and who want to see you succeed. Your cohort is great for exchanging ideas, receiving support, and staying connected with other members of the Supporting Strategies family.
