What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Focus Cfo's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the decrease (increase) in accounts receivables in 2024 was $21,701, while in 2023 it was an increase of ($9,392). This means that Focus CFO collected more of its outstanding invoices in 2024 compared to 2023. Accounts receivable consists of invoices to clients receiving CFO services. Focus CFO continually monitors these balances and has a strong history of collections.
This is further supported by the fact that the receivable is offset by accrued compensation payable to the franchisees and licensees for services provided to the clients. The payable is not paid to the franchisees and licensees unless payment is received from clients. Management believes the accounts receivable as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 are fully collectible and any estimate for loss is immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates that Focus CFO has efficient collection practices and a low risk of uncollectible accounts. This is a positive sign, as it suggests that franchisees are more likely to receive timely compensation for their services. The company uses the direct write-off method when a receivable is deemed uncollectible.
