TAX CREDIT DISCOVERY FOR FRANCHISE OPERATORS

Stop Leaving Six-Figure Credits Unclaimed

Franchise payroll hides real cash. We surface it—fast. Book your 15-min Feasibility Scan and see what’s waiting in WOTC, FICA Tip, and state grants.

The Cost of Missing Paperwork

IRS data shows 25 % of hourly hires qualify for up to $2.4 k each—yet most 50-500-unit chains never file the paperwork, leaving $400k–$1.2m stranded every year. HR files live in silos, CPAs focus on taxes, and state portals change monthly. The result: seven-figure credits expire while food costs climb.

Meet The Founder

Hi, I’m Doug — founder of Incentive Finders.Before this, I spent 4 years at Kroger leading product for some of their most complex tax and financial systems. I worked with engineering and finance teams to untangle messy workflows, improve accuracy, and build tools that made multi-state tax compliance a little less painful. It was fast, high-stakes work — and I loved finding clarity in all that complexity.But the part I always came back to? Spotting the opportunities that others overlooked — and helping teams turn that into real savings.That’s what inspired me to start Incentive Finders. I treat tax credits like a puzzle: the money is already on the table — you just need the right map to get it. For franchise operators, that means uncovering six figures in federal and state incentives without adding more software or overhead to your plate.
