We Build Bottom Lines by Building Relationships
Listen to what some of our customers have to say:
“I simply couldn’t have done what I did without The Bottom Line on my team… Back in April, 2009, I had the #1 store in the Jersey Mike’s national franchise network (over 450). But I was working 20 hours a day and still all my paperwork was burying me. I called The Bottom Line and they flew in the next day! They took every file, every invoice, every envelope, everything off my desk and got me back on track with all the bills, payroll, taxes and other paperwork.
My job was to deliver the greatest sandwich experience…not fumble over the bills and stuff. The Bottom Line let me do that successfully. I think they are the BEST BOOKKEEPING AND ACCOUNTING FIRM IN THE COUNTRY. I owe much of my success to The Bottom Line.”

Former Jersey Mike's Franchise (IL)
“The Bottom Line is one of those rare companies that combines franchise accounting expertise with personalized service and a genuine interest in the profitable progress of my business. They provided superb service with my previous franchise…and even helped me sell that business very successfully. The Bottom Line is an invaluable business resource and business partner.”
Brad Mouly
Jersey Mike's Subs, Multi-Unit Franchisee (DE, MD)
“The Bottom Line is as important to my team as I am. I got to know about The Bottom Line’s excellence when I was CEO of Domino’s Franchise Association. So, when I got involved with Jersey Mike’s, I insisted on having The Bottom Line on my team.
When it comes to anything related to money, The Bottom Line takes care of it for all my operations – bills, taxes, payroll… they even mail invoice payments and other necessary checks for me…I don’t have to sign checks or touch a thing with The Bottom Line on the job!
For the accuracy and value The Bottom Line provides, I can’t even imagine doing my books and accounting any other way. The Bottom Line is the best.”

Their staff is friendly, knowledgeable and most importantly, accessible. Having the comfort level we enjoyed with The Bottom Line let us focus our time where it was needed most – our business operations.”

Former Domino's Franchisees (NY)
“Marnie and her staff had always gone over and above the call of duty for a small operator like myself. They always made me feel like I was their only client and that meant so much. I knew I was in good hands.”
James Flanagan

“In today’s business it is paramount to have not only a great accounting team but one that answers the phone when you call with a question. customer service at TBL is #1. I have an amazing Account Supervisor. My business is her business! A rarity these days. Coupled with an amazing Tax Department this firm is a win all day, everyday! At TBL I feel like family!”
Peter D’Andrea
Domino's, Multi-Unit Franchisee (TN, AL, NC)
“My history with the The Bottom Line goes back further than I have been a Franchisee. Working for Brian Bailey in New Mexico over twenty years ago was my introduction to the firm. Brian would give us the P&L and say, “if you have questions or need explanations call TBL.“When I went to work for my parents some years later and most importantly when I became a franchisee there was only one logical choice for an accounting firm. Now with over a decade of being partnered with them I still believe in and trust The Bottom Line.”
Rhett D. Hightower
Domino's, Multi-Unit Franchisee (MT)
“I can say emphatically that there is no better outsourced provider I have ever used than TBL, Inc. Marnie and her exceptional team are so wonderful to work with and take care of the majority of our back-end financial details. In 2021, I am gearing up to open two additional franchise businesses, and I can think of no better a firm or financial back-end solution to partner with than TBL.”
Andrew Hamerling
Multi-Brand Franchisee (NY)
“TBL has absolutely changed our company for the better and has truly taken our company to the next level. They are extremely responsive and take the time to learn about, and care for, your company. TBL has taken over all of our accounting work, including P&Ls, reporting, bill pay, etc and has allowed us to really focus on growing our business and our people. We certainly would not be in the position we are in without TBL. I could not recommend them more highly.”
Matt Catania
Jersey Mike's Subs, Multi-Unit Franchisee (NJ, FL)
“The Bottom Line is an outstanding firm that has played an integral part in the building and expansion of our growing franchise. Nine years ago we had a bookkeeper & it was clear she wouldn’t be able to handle the volume. We needed a professional team. TBL Inc. does it all; our financial statements, payroll for 5 stores, personal & business taxes and bill pay. Their expertise can’t be matched. Hands down one of the greatest gifts to our company. They allow me to do what I do best. Serve my customers.”
Brian and Stacy Risch
Jersey Mike's Subs, Multi-Unit Franchisee (MN)
“I don’t know what I’d do with out these guys! They are both professional and down to earth. They handle everything for me. It’s great to have one “go-to” with a wealth of knowledge about cash flow, tax law, payroll and general business consultation. They do the thinking FOR me in all these areas so that I can focus on running my business. I think the fact that I have been working with many of the same people at TBL for almost 20 years is a testament to how they do business.”
Courtney Milne
Domino's, Multi-Unit Franchisee (PA)
“The Bottom Line is an invaluable partner in our 100 store business. They’re like our CFO and a key member of our executive leadership team. They provide us professional, personalized, timely accounting services and are genuinely interested in our business. Furthermore, they’re friendly, accessible and well respected by our lenders. I couldn’t imagine running a 150 million dollar a year operation without this great team of professionals. We’re blessed to be able to chose anyone in the world to do our accounting – but for 30 years we’ve chosen to use The Bottom Line because they are simply the best!”
Brian Bailey
Domino's, Multi-Unit Franchisee (NM, TX, CO)
“At this stage in my career, I am ever mindful that the success my team and I have realized is largely driven by the TBL relationship which affords me the ability to focus on operations, growth and deal making without concern of accounting, check writing and ever-changing tax code and filing requirements. TBL’s commitment to my organizations success has enabled me to pursue my goals and dreams with the confidence that however large or complicated the transaction TBL will provide the support, guidance and professional services for success. I couldn’t image conducting business without their valued relationship!”
Robert Taylor
Domino's, Multi-Unit Franchisee (PA, MD, DE, NC)
“I’ve been with TBL now for over 30 years, they helped me purchase my first Domino’s Pizza, and the 20 other stores I’ve bought and sold along the way. They advised me on how to setup my companies, how to grow the businesses and how to maximize my profits. You don’t just feel like a client they make you feel like a friend by taking all the time you need to guide you through all your questions and any problems that arise. Always with a friendly voice and a reassuring manor. Definitely a class “A” team I would highly recommend to anyone.”
Marci Hawkins
Former Domino's Multi-Unit Franchisee (NJ, PA)
“I have been a client of The Bottom Line for over 30 years. I have purchased and sold many stores during this time. TBL has played an integral role in the success of my company.
They are so much more then just paying bills. No matter your needs, their team of professionals will add instant infrastructure to any company. From bookkeeping, payroll, audits, business transactions and analysis, taxes both personal and business, they do it all and they do it very well! I cannot recommend TBL highly enough!”
