“Hounds Town has a program for all franchisees called Path to Freedom – how do our franchisees create financial and life freedom through our franchise? The cornerstone of that freedom is financial acumen, and Profit Soup is not just a vendor but a partner for Hounds Town. Profit Soup was a hit at our franchisee conference, and most importantly, Barbara made the information fun and easy to understand. Further, we have all franchisees use the online financial training before opening. I think this quote from our conference survey says it all!"
"The conference fee was worth it just for Barbara Nuss’s presentation. I have always struggled with numbers, my biggest fear before joining Hounds Town. Her presentation made me feel confident about something I have never felt confident about before!"

Meet the Author
I'm Barbara Nuss, CPA, creator of Profit Soup Online. I’ve spent decades teaching franchise executives, franchisees, consultants and emerging entrepreneurs how to master the numbers side of a business and make better financial decisions.
What makes my approach unique? I focus on the business owner, not on academic accounting concepts. I want my learners to make smart decisions that maximize profits and cash flow.
Plus, I want it to be efficient. Busy people don't have time to spend years or even months on classes. And new franchisees need to hit the ground running so they win the race to profit before their cash runs out.
Profit Soup Online was built with time and money in mind.
If you want to cut to the chase and gain the essential financial skills and insights all successful business people need, you've come to the right place.
Frequently Asked Questions
Certain series are particularly great for new franchisees. Many franchise systems require new franchisees to complete our Breakeven PLUS series before coming to new franchisee training! Even legacy owners benefit from refreshing and refocusing their financial review routines. Our courses lead them to evaluate their own financial management habits while they build business improvement plans for their companies.
"The courses guide franchisees to assess their own records, review routines and results and adopt action plans that make an immediate impact on their businesses.”

“The online platform that Profit Soup uses is great. There were chat rooms and questions. You could see the leaderboard of who was advancing through the courses and who was getting things done. It became a little bit of an internal competition. It was very insightful when you're making corporate decisions to help a customer grow their business.”
