What is the monthly fee range for QuickBooks Online for a Bigfoot Forestry franchise?

According to the 2025 Bigfoot Forestry FDD, franchisees are required to use QuickBooks Online accounting software. The FDD states that the monthly fee for QuickBooks Online varies depending on the version selected by the franchisee and that these fees are subject to change based on pricing changes imposed by the licensor. This means a prospective franchisee's costs for this required software could fluctuate over time.

It is important to note that while the FDD mentions the variability of QuickBooks Online fees, it does not provide a specific dollar range for these monthly costs. This lack of a concrete range makes it difficult for a potential franchisee to accurately budget for this ongoing expense. The franchisee will need to factor in potential increases to these fees over the term of the franchise agreement.

Given the absence of a specific fee range in the FDD, it is crucial that prospective Bigfoot Forestry franchisees directly inquire with the franchisor about the typical monthly costs for the different QuickBooks Online versions currently used by franchisees. Understanding the range of options and associated costs will allow for more informed financial planning. Additionally, franchisees should ask about any historical trends in pricing changes to better anticipate potential future expenses.
