FAQ

Feel free to contact us if you have other questions.

How many clients are required to become certified?

Fractional CFOs can become certified with three or more clients using Francis.

What discounts do I receive as a partner?

Our partner discount starts at 50%, though it comes with certain platform limitations. The discount increases as the number of committed clients grows. Contact us for more details.

Can I create a custom template?

What support do I have access to?

Do clients have access to Francis?

It's up to you. Some partners include clients as Editors or Viewers, while others keep Francis internal and share results via PDF reports. Keep in mind that including clients as editors may affect your discount for that workspace.

How do I manage multiple clients on the platform?

Each client has an individual workspace. You'll have access to all of them, while clients will only have access to their own workspace if invited into Francis.

How does billing work across clients?

You manage subscriptions and discounts for each client's workspace. You can choose whether the charges are billed to you or directly to your client, depending on the credit card set up on the platform.

Can a partner transfer ownership to a client later on?

Can I invite my colleagues?
