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.

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.
