Bank Reconciliations for Taco Bell
A multi-store Taco Bell franchise was hitting rock bottom due to mismanaged accounting. Then a hurricane hit. Here’s how Global Shared Services navigated the financial crisis, got accounting practices back on track, and set the franchise on the path to stability and growth.
The GSS FTE Model
GSS’s FTE model measures an employee’s total workload to find the ideal number of full-time staff. This innovative approach lets franchisors develop concepts, outsource services, and streamline operations. By adopting this model, franchises can enhance growth, manage costs, and optimize operations effectively.

“With GSS, we meet our franchisor requirements on time and with accuracy. The local CPA could not handle our volume. We are so happy to have made the change. GSS knows our business and our franchisor requirements.”
“As we grew from 10 to 80 units, our reporting requirements grew in complexity and our volume became overwhelming to manage in-house. GSS was able to scale efficiently with us, matching the skill level needed in each step of growth..
“We selected GSS because of its exceptional scalability and its ability to support advanced reporting and analysis at an unbeatable cost.”
“Working with GSS has been a great partnership. They keep us compliant with our franchisor and save us money.”
“We started with GSS because we had 300% turnover in our CFO role. We had IRS audits and a default with our lender for reporting requirements. Within four months of working with GSS, these issues were resolved, and we got back to the business of running our restaurants. We feel protected working with GSS.”
“GSS’s unique background in corporate accounting allowed us to build a shared services team with GSS’s team at the center led by our senior staff. This high-powered group provides corporate services used by our multiple entities managing over 400 restaurants. We could not find an operator with GSS’s depth of talent and cost efficiencies.”
“GSS’s take the guesswork out of the back office. They bring the best technology for restaurants and their first-rate staff are a pleasure to work with.”
“GSS delivers a service we count on for running our restaurant business. They are accurate, prompt and always communication clearly.”
