Your structural advantage
Everything it would take years to build, available the day your firm opens.
Franchise Fiduciaire does not impose a uniform brand on you. By default, you build your own firm under your name, your identity, your domain and your positioning. We provide, in the background, the whole infrastructure needed to produce, advise, prospect and grow.
You get immediate access to our industrial method, our proprietary software system, our private fiduciary knowledge engine, our network of specialists, our locations, our Scan Center and our optional production services.
You can therefore build a very high capacity firm, with low fixed costs and a pricing freedom that is out of reach for structures still dependent on data-entry hours and hiring.
Immediate evidence
- Your own brand and your own clients
- A firm ready to operate from opening day
- Bookkeeping produced in minutes
- Tax prepared without full re-entry
- Royalty capped at 2 % of revenue
- Produce in-house, or order optional services on demand
Your own firm, immediately
Open your firm immediately under your own brand
You are not necessarily joining a uniform chain. By default you practise under your own name and your own identity. The network remains the invisible infrastructure that powers your firm.
Your client sees your brand, your website, your documents, your address and your team. In the background you draw on the network’s technology, methods, processes and resources.
From opening day you have
- Your own brand
- Your own visual identity
- Your own domain name
- Your own local website
- Your professional email addresses
- Your telephone number
- Your personalised CRM
- Your client portal in your own livery
- Your communication Hub
- Your document workspace
- Your contract templates
- Your commercial proposals
- Your prospecting database
- Your business address
- Access to offices and meeting space depending on the cities available
- Your fiduciary software system
- Your procedures
- Your initial training
- Your launch support
Identity options
-
Your own brand, the default
You build your firm entirely under your own name.
-
Your own brand with the network label
You keep your identity, with a discreet mention of your membership of the network.
-
The network’s full brand
You may adopt the network’s identity if you would rather not build a brand of your own.
We do not replace your business with our brand. We reinforce your business with our infrastructure.
What you build
Two contributions, two owners.
The franchisee builds
- Their company
- Their brand
- Their reputation
- Their clients
- Their portfolio
- Their resale value
- Their local presence
The franchisor supplies
- The method
- The system
- The tools
- The technology
- The training
- The production
- The expertise
- The continuity
- The infrastructure
An industrial production capacity
A production capacity normally reserved for large practices
Our system does not merely speed up a few tasks. It was built to industrialise the whole fiduciary mandate: collection, integration, bookkeeping, reconciliations, VAT, payroll, financial statements, tax, reviews, follow-up and delivery.
After the initial setup, data is structured and reused across the entire mandate.
The system makes it possible to
- Integrate bank transactions
- Import available documents and data
- Generate entries
- Perform reconciliations
- Prepare VAT returns
- Produce journals and trial balances
- Prepare financial statements
- Feed the tax return
- Detect exceptions
- Organise reviews
- Track deadlines
- Document the file
Result
For standardised, correctly configured files:
- Bookkeeping can be produced in minutes
- A complete bookkeeping mandate can be handled in under an hour
- Tax information no longer has to be re-entered in full
- One professional can supervise an exceptionally large portfolio
- Growth no longer requires a proportional increase in headcount
The professional’s role changes
The franchisee spends their time on:
- Reviewing
- Handling exceptions
- Validating decisions
- Explaining
- Advising
- Growing the client base
- Selling financial steering
- Supervising performance
Production becomes infrastructure. Your time becomes advisory work.
Portfolio capacity
Our architecture is designed to let one professional supervise up to 1,000 highly standardised mandates, depending on their complexity, contact frequency, volume, level of automation and use of network services.
Proprietary technology that is hard to reproduce
A technology asset your competitors cannot simply buy
Our advantage does not rest on standard software available to everyone.
The franchisee gains access to a proprietary fiduciary operating system, an industrial method, configuration rules, reviews, procedures and a set of integrated services.
The system covers
- CRM
- Prospecting
- Onboarding
- Contracts
- Collection
- Bookkeeping
- Banking
- VAT
- Payroll
- Tax
- Client portal
- Hub
- Documents
- Invoicing
- Dashboards
- Steering
- Review
- Archiving
Data captured once
A single piece of information can then feed:
- Bookkeeping
- VAT
- Payroll
- Financial statements
- Tax returns
- Dashboards
- Client follow-up
Reproducing this infrastructure alone would mean
- Funding several years of development
- Assembling several pieces of software
- Building your own connectors
- Documenting your processes
- Training your teams
- Creating your own reviews
- Maintaining your system
- Securing your data
- Building your support function
- Assembling a centre of expertise
- Creating a backup production system
Position on artificial intelligence
The production chain for client files rests on:
- Structured rules
- Controlled configuration
- Repeatable reviews
- Documented processing
- Professional validation
LLM engine
The franchisee can query it on
- The private share of a vehicle
- The treatment of a provision
- A VAT question
- A tax-deductible expense
- A benefit in kind
- An unusual entry
- A year-end review point
- A financial management question
The engine returns
- The answer
- The conditions
- The facts to confirm
- The sources
- The possible treatments
- The confidence level
- Whether a human specialist is needed
The engine researches and explains. The professional decides.
Radically reduced fixed costs
A lean structure, even with a large portfolio
A traditional firm generally has to fund:
What a conventional structure funds
- Several pieces of software
- Production staff
- Workstations
- Permanent premises
- Recruitment costs
- Supervision costs
- Training
- An IT infrastructure
- Procedures
- Backups
- A document organisation
What the franchisee accesses immediately
- The technology
- The method
- The CRM
- The portal
- The Hub
- The website
- The sales tools
- The knowledge engine
- The training
- The network
- The standards
- The continuity
Business model
The franchisee pays
- An entry fee
- A royalty of 2 % of revenue
- Only the optional services they order
They are not required to
- Outsource their production
- Rent a large office
- Hire a data-entry team
- Buy several pieces of software
- Subscribe to an accumulation of hidden subscriptions
Your overheads stay light while your capacity becomes industrial.
Profitability
Thanks to low fixed costs and the very low marginal cost of certain standardised mandates, the corresponding operating margin can approach 80 % of revenue, depending on the structure of the firm, the price, the volume, the services and the organisation chosen.
Why that margin becomes possible
- Production cost does not grow in proportion to revenue
- The franchisee spreads costs across a growing portfolio
- Re-entry disappears
- The technology is already developed
- Outsourcing remains optional
- Hiring can be deferred or avoided
- Advisory work raises revenue per client
Each new mandate can raise your revenue far faster than it raises your costs.
Real power over your prices and your market
You no longer take the market’s prices. You choose your strategy.
A traditional firm generally calculates its fees from the number of hours, the cost of its staff, its overheads and the margin it needs. Its prices therefore stay directly tied to its costs.
Our franchisee has a different structure. Their production cost is sharply reduced and their capacity is no longer directly limited by human hours.
Four possible strategies
-
Offer a lower price
Be more competitive while keeping a substantial margin.
-
Hold the market price
Maximise the profitability of standardised mandates.
-
Include more services
Add advisory work, dashboards or meetings without eroding the margin.
-
Use bookkeeping as an acquisition product
Win clients with a strong bookkeeping offer, then sell financial steering, management control, cost accounting, budgets, forecasts and outsourced CFO services.
Illustrative example
Traditional organisation
- 25 hours
- CHF 150 per hour
- Client price: CHF 3,750
A firm equipped with our system
- Largely industrialised production
- Review concentrated on exceptions
- Possible price: CHF 3,000
- A price 20 % lower
- A far lower production cost
- A potentially higher margin
Your competitor has to choose between price and margin. You can act on both.
Local influence
The franchisee can:
- Offer more attractive fixed fees
- Absorb larger volumes
- Respond faster
- Include more value
- Accept files turned down elsewhere
- Raise or lower prices according to strategy
- Push the local market to revisit its standards
Our infrastructure gives you the ability to influence prices in your market without sacrificing the profitability of your firm.
A network of specialists and services on demand

They build a business that can have

Comparison
Two ways to run an accounting firm.
| Conventional organisation | A firm using our infrastructure |
|---|---|
| Several separate applications | One integrated operating system |
| Entry and re-entry | Data structured once and reused |
| Production dependent on hours | Industrialised production |
| Tax work started again separately | Tax fed by the mandate |
| Growth tied to hiring | Growth with a lean structure |
| Heavy fixed costs | Shared infrastructure |
| Price dictated by costs | Price chosen by strategy |
| Lower price means lower margin | Lower price with the margin preserved |
| Advisory work limited by time | Advisory work at the centre |
| Limited in-house expertise | Private LLM engine and network of specialists |
| Dependence on one person | Continuity supported by the network |
| An imposed brand is possible | Your own brand by default |
| An unreachable technology asset | Infrastructure available immediately |
What your competitors cannot easily reproduce
A compound advantage, not a single feature
No single element explains our lead. Our advantage rests on a combination.
The combination
- The method
- The technology
- The structured data
- The processes
- The LLM engine
- The reviews
- The training
- The network
- The production
- The Scan Center
- The acquisition
- The locations
- The continuity
- The advisory services
What cannot be bought instantly
A firm can buy software. It cannot instantly buy:
- Several years of method
- An industrial organisation
- A proprietary system
- A knowledge centre
- A network of specialists
- Shared production
- A continuity infrastructure
- A complete acquisition system
Our advantage is not in a tool. It is in the system as a whole.

Results are indicative and do not constitute a promise of revenue or profitability.
Indicative simulation. No revenue, margin or result is guaranteed. The margin shown is a production margin: it includes neither overheads, nor the owner’s remuneration, nor tax. The cost of the network’s optional services is not quantified, as its price list is not published.
Do not build alone what our network has already developed.
Start your own firm, under your own identity, with a production capacity, a cost structure and a network of resources normally out of reach for an independent practitioner.
