About

Richard Sparkmon is the foremost specialist in providing McDonald’s franchise owner/operators with the brand-focused support you need to keep your business strong, successful and profitable. Since the 1970s, he’s been working with owner/operators to help you operate efficiently, make smart business decisions and plan for the future – but most of all, to give you peace of mind.

Our relationship with McDonald’s franchises began with a national firm and led to the founding of our full-service firm Sparkmon & Associates in 1984, where we provided business advisory services and complete accounting and back-office support for owner/operators. We’ve built a solid reputation as the go-to experts for McDonald’s owner/operators and have a deep commitment to serving the McDonald’s community. Over the years we’ve seen clients grow into friends and helped owners expand their business from a single location to multiple franchises, with many now beginning to contemplate retirement.

Because of this, we have decided to devote ourselves to the twilight phase for McDonald’s owner/operators. Sparkmon Advisory Services was established to focus exclusively on business consulting, estate and next-generation planning, and business valuation services for McDonald’s owner/operators. We’re here to provide the in-depth planning necessary to help you prepare for and implement succession plans, so you can enjoy the next chapter of life. Whether you’re a new owner, nearing retirement or somewhere in between, Sparkmon Advisory Services is here to help you take care of your business, so it can take care of you.
