Ezy Accounts

EzyAccounts provides bookkeeping and business advisory services through a growing network of franchisees. It works with clients to understand their strengths and identify opportunities for them to become more profitable and efficient. The world of franchising is heavily regulated and there are several hoops to jump through to get deals signed. These include a two-week waiting period between sharing the terms of the agreement and then inviting an applicant to sign. To meet compliance, EzyAccounts would print and bind the formal agreement and then post it out as the two weeks came to a close. If the agreement was received and signed too soon, it would be nullified. If it was lost or delayed, it could put the deal at risk. The process puts pressure on executives to get agreements out just on time and track them through to completion. So, when they discovered they could do this with an eSignature platform, they leapt at the opportunity. Solution: zyAccounts chose to go digital with DocuSign. It ticked all the right boxes when it came to speed and ease of use, and would help to manage compliance.Using DocuSign’s online resources for support, the business subscribed online and got started right away. EzyAccounts can now send franchise agreements to applicants on the very day they are eligible to sign. The digital documents are typically signed within two days at which point executives have instant assurance that the deal is complete. This is in sharp contrast to the previous process whereby the team would be chasing signatures and checking the post for up to two weeks. Today, forms are signed faster and new franchisees can start planning their future straight away. And EzyAccounts has more time to onboard them with an average of four hours saved per agreement. The time saved has led to an estimated cost reduction of $750 per agreement.
