CFO Today Franchise

Computerized accounting services for small businesses

John Harrison felt that many small businesses were failing because they couldn't afford accountants, so he began providing 'professional services at bookkeeper's rates.' In 1989, Harrison established Accountant's Choice, which has since changed its name to CFO Today.

Franchising started in 1990, and there are now locations across the United States offering accounting services to local small businesses.
