Case Study: Penn Station franchisee NWO Penn Acquisition scales franchise expansion and cuts monthly close times by nearly 2/3 with Sage Intacct

Laying a Foundation for Franchise Expansion

NWO Penn Acquisition LLC is a Columbus-based investment group that operates Penn Station East Coast Subs franchises. After acquiring multiple units and planning rapid expansion, the company relied on an outsourced accountant using on‑premises software and paper-based processes that caused duplicate data entry, slow monthly closes, and limited reporting—problems that could not scale with their growth.

Working with WVC RubixCloud, NWO Penn implemented Sage Intacct with POS, Bill.com, and ADP integrations to automate imports, streamline AP, expense reporting, and bank reconciliation. The change eliminated manual entry, cut the monthly close from eight days to two–three, saved up to 20 person‑hours per month (with day‑to‑day accounting efficiency >25%), delivered automated royalty/bonus/tax reports, improved cash visibility, and freed leadership to pursue faster franchise growth while reducing finance costs.
