Charles Jebran is a Franchise Accountant and a former multi-unit franchise
owner of Dunkin Donuts and Baskin-Robbins. He has a keen understanding of
running a franchise by the numbers.

“After graduating from St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, Charlie
started his accounting career with Coopers and Lybrand, now PWC.  There, he
gained valuable experience working with major companies in various areas. 
However, he was always interested in working with smaller entrepreneurial
companies and left his first job to work with two smaller CPA firms to
further his knowledge of closely held companies.  During this time, Charlie
researched many franchises by talking to franchises, attending conventions,
and reading books and magazines.  In 2003, Charlie started his own
accounting firm and, along with a partner, signed an agreement with Dunkin
Donuts/Baskin Robbins to become a franchisee.  After working through all
the details and construction, the first store opened in 2005, with the
second store following in 2007.  As a multi-unit operator, he learned every
facet of successfully running two high-traffic stores while still running a
growing accounting firm.  The stores were subsequently sold in 2012. 

Having gained so much knowledge by running his two stores, Charlie began to
provide advisory and tax services to operators of a variety of franchises. 
He currently provides a variety of services to over 100 stores in the
nation.”
