Gym & Fitness Accounting

Accounting & Bookkeeping for Gyms and Fitness Centers

Franchise-focused financial support built for multi-location gyms, studios, and fitness brands, including payroll, compliance, and reporting handled by a team that understands the industry.

Running a gym means managing membership revenue, instructor payroll, equipment costs, and multi-location reporting, often with more urgency than your current bookkeeping setup can keep up with. Beansquad brings 30+ years of franchise accounting experience and support across 500+ franchise locations to fitness operators who need accurate numbers, not guesswork.

Industry Insight

Membership Revenue Changes Fast. Your Books Need to Keep Up.

66.4%

is the average member retention rate gyms and studios report industry-wide, meaning roughly a third of members churn every year, with half of new members leaving within six months.

Every one of those transitions can affect your books through pro-rated billing, refunds, and membership revenue recognition. Clean, current financials help you identify problems before they become larger cash-flow issues.

Love working with the MCO Bookkeeping team. They take awesome care of my business books at a very affordable cost! Whenever I have questions or need help, they’re easy to reach and great to work with and fix my questions! I’d highly recommend them for fellow UPS store locations and to other franchisees!

We have used MCO/Bean Squad for our bookkeeping for many years over 7 locations. We save hundreds of hours every month with them and now simply review our books. They are responsive and easy to reach. I would never go back to our previous model of bookkeeping.

We’ve had an outstanding experience working with MCO Bookkeeping for the bookkeeping needs of our UPS Stores. Their team is professional, responsive, detail-oriented, and consistently provides accurate financial reporting that helps us make better business decisions. I especially want to recognize Jose Pablo and Bruce Patz. They are both an absolute pleasure to work with. Jose is incredibly knowledgeable, proactive, and always quick to respond whenever we have questions. Bruce has also been fantastic—professional, patient, and genuinely invested in helping our business succeed. They both go above and beyond to provide exceptional service, and it’s clear they truly care about their clients. If you’re looking for a bookkeeping company that is reliable, organized, and staffed by people who genuinely want to help your business thrive, I highly recommend MCO Bookkeeping. Jose and Bruce have made what could be a complicated process feel effortless, and we’re grateful to have them as part of our team.

MCO handles important tasks such as balancing my monthly bank accounts, filing my sales taxes, and managing customer house accounts. Having these responsibilities handled accurately and consistently allows me to spend more time focusing on running a profitable The UPS Store center. Their knowledge of franchise bookkeeping needs, combined with their reliable service, makes them a strong resource for other franchise owners who want dependable financial support and peace of mind. Sincerely, Sarah Segura The UPS Store Center 4617
