SPEAKER BIO
FranNet is a 37+ year leader in franchise consulting having one main goal; to support aspiring entrepreneurs who are interested in exploring business ownership through franchising. We utilize a methodical and strategic process assisting the client with research and due diligence to help them find the right franchise business, which aligns not only with their financial goals but their life goals and interests. We also help small businesses that already have a proven business model explore the idea of replicating their business utilizing the franchise distribution model to grow regionally and nationally.
Sean joined FranNet in August 2024 and is a Certified Franchise Consultant. Sean is also a CPA and CGMA. Prior to FranNet Sean had over 10 years of experience with franchising both as a franchise business owner with Better Living Patio Rooms which he acquired with the help of FranNet in 1989 and as a leader at the esteemed Jackson Hewitt Tax Services (JH), where he held multiple management roles supporting franchisees.
Sean’s years at JH included roles in business development, franchise sales, and acquisitions, where he collaborated with marketing and third-party consulting organizations to identify franchisees that were a strong fit. Many of these franchisees became long-term, multi-unit owners, with several growing into the largest franchisees in terms of sales and profitability.
Beyond franchising, Sean has held several executive management positions, most recently at Broadridge Financial Solutions, a global fintech provider serving the financial services industry, where he oversaw two business units.
