What is the Focus Cfo franchisee's responsibility regarding the successful execution of client PSAs?

According to the 2025 Focus Cfo Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for coordinating the preparation and successful execution of client Professional Service Agreements (PSAs) through a centralized preparation process. Focus Cfo's standard PSA is used for all client engagements and is prepared through this centralized process to ensure adherence to Focus Cfo's standards for contractual language, pricing, and terms.

The Focus Cfo franchisee is authorized to execute Focus Cfo's standard PSA on behalf of Focus Cfo, but only as the agreement has been prepared and approved through the centralized preparation process. The franchisee cannot deviate from the standard contract terms without written consent from Focus Cfo. This ensures that all client engagements align with Focus Cfo's system and protect the Focus Cfo marks.

This process means the Focus Cfo franchisee acts as a liaison, ensuring the PSA is correctly prepared and executed according to Focus Cfo's standards. While the franchisee can execute the agreement, they must adhere strictly to the version prepared and approved by Focus Cfo, highlighting the importance of following the established system to maintain brand consistency and quality of service.
