What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to use bookkeeping services designated by the company. The standard Bookkeeping Services Fee is $350 per month, which covers up to 5 hours of assistance. If a franchisee needs more than 5 hours of bookkeeping support in a given month, they will be charged Bumble Roofing's then-current hourly fee for the additional time.
The FDD also specifies that this hourly rate for extra bookkeeping assistance is currently $55 per hour. However, Bumble Roofing retains the right to increase both the monthly Bookkeeping Services Fee (up to $500) and the hourly rate for additional support (up to $100 per hour) with notice to franchisees.
For a prospective Bumble Roofing franchisee, this means budgeting for potential additional bookkeeping costs if their business demands more than the allotted 5 hours per month. It's important to factor in that these fees can change over time, potentially impacting profitability. Franchisees should discuss with Bumble Roofing what typically drives additional bookkeeping hours and how to manage those needs efficiently.
