You hire because you want to, not because you have to.

Capacity scales with your book, not with your org chart. New clients plug into the same system instead of new payroll.

The landscape

Running a firm is tough.

The realityDecimal's answer

Technology moves faster than any independent firm can track. AI made it worse.

We evaluate, adopt, and roll out new tools for you. Your stack gets smarter every month.

Accountants are scarce and expensive. Margins are thin. Service lines are limited.

Shared delivery teams handle the work at the deliverable level. Growth doesn't depend on hiring.

Nothing is standardized, so every new client adds complexity instead of efficiency.

Every engagement plugs into the same workflows. New clients add revenue, not chaos.

The business demands of running a firm compete directly with the work of building one.

We run the back office. You spend your time on clients and growth.

Decimal is the accounting franchise where you don't have to choose between ownership and infrastructure.

Who it's for

Two paths in. A firm that's yours.

Whether you're starting from scratch or transforming an existing practice, the outcome is the same: a firm that scales beyond you, and is yours to run for as long as you want.

From signing to serving clients in under a month.

Your tech, training, and first-client onboarding run in parallel. Most firm owners are live and in market by week four. Training and support continue every week after that.

You run your own firm, but you're never building alone. Decimal firm owners share what's working, solve problems together, and have direct access to people who've done this before.

  • Peer-to-peer strategy conversations
  • Shared best practices across markets
From the field

What firm owners are saying.

Jay Breeden
Former Decimal client turned owner
As a former Decimal client, I was excited for the opportunity to give business owners the same help and certainty Decimal provided me before we sold our business. I've also run franchises before, so the model and operating system really stood out as an amazing opportunity to make starting a business easier using a proven model and system.

We've owned accounting firms and modernized them. We wanted to own a firm again, but didn't want to do all the heavy lifting. Decimal has built the infrastructure and a proven system that works really well. We can immediately step into an extremely well run system, add clients, and they're going to get the best, consistent experience, every time.

Ever since I had my own firm years ago, I've thought about starting my own again. But I wanted it to be everything accounting is not: tech forward, automated, and service oriented. I looked at a lot of options, but Decimal clearly stood out as the best way I could start my own firm and help my clients. Decimal also gave me the opportunity to do it in a community, with a support structure, and not alone.

Common questions

01Do I need to be a CPA?

No. We're looking for business-minded operators who can build relationships and manage growth. Accounting expertise helps, but our delivery teams handle the technical work. Many of our firm owners come from operator, CFO, or sales backgrounds.

02What happens to my existing firm and clients?

You keep your firm and your client relationships. The name on the door stays yours. We help you migrate your book onto the operating system on a schedule that fits your existing practice. The franchise adds infrastructure and delivery capacity under the firm you already run.

03What's my role day-to-day?

Growth and client relationships. You're running a real business: leading sales in your market, building the brand, owning the P&L, and hiring as the firm scales. Our delivery teams and operating system handle production, billing, technology, and operations, so your time goes to the work that actually grows the firm.

04How long until I'm open for business?

Most firm owners are open within weeks of signing. You get trained while we set up your tech stack and connect you with delivery support. The process runs in parallel.

05How do territories work?

Availability varies by market. Talk to our franchise development team about your area and they'll walk you through what's open and how we work with firm owners in your region.

06What does ongoing support look like?

Two layers. For you and your team: onboarding and ongoing training, regular check-ins with your franchise support contact, monthly CEO calls, quarterly business planning, deal desk help on complex proposals, and recruiting support when you're ready to hire. For client delivery: Decimal Franchise Services (DFS) operates the shared infrastructure that produces recurring client work, including delivery teams, back-office operations, and the technology stack, so your team can focus on advisory and growth.

07How much does it cost to get started?

Our Franchise Disclosure Document includes full investment details, transparent delivery pricing, royalties, and brand fund contributions. Talk to our franchise development team for current availability.
