BookKeeping Express: A fresh franchise
with a 25+ year track record
There are over 29 million small businesses in America — and in most of them the owners are struggling to keep up with the books and payroll. BookKeeping Express (BKE) was founded in California in 1984 to solve the problem by using a virtual services model to provide professional bookkeeping designed specifically for the needs and budgets of small businesses. Through licensing agreements, BKE grew into a national company with more than 150 locations and was purchased in 2007 by Greg Jones, Bob Stocker and Merritt Green who launched the franchise business model in Northern Virginia in January 2008.
Here’s your chance to shape the future!
Today, more than 40 BookKeeping Express locations are in the U.S. with three licensed offices in Canada. The company’s aggressive U.S. and Canadian franchise development plans call for more than 400 new territories. Franchisees that get in now have the chance to claim prime territories and shape the franchise itself.
