Restaurant bookkeeping is our core expertise.
We understand how restaurants operate and what that means for their bookkeeping.
Bookkeeping that reflects how a restaurant actually operates.
Restaurant bookkeeping involves more than recording bank transactions. Sales can flow through POS systems, delivery platforms, merchant processors, gift cards, tips, and multiple settlement streams, while food, payroll, inventory, sales tax, and franchise costs all affect the books differently.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Transaction recording and categorization, bank and credit card reconciliations, month-end review, and organized financial records.
POS, Delivery & Merchant Reconciliation
Reconcile POS activity, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub and other delivery-platform sales, merchant settlements, processor fees, refunds, and deposits to the bank.
Food, Beverage & Labor Cost Reporting
Organize the books so owners can clearly monitor the major cost categories that drive restaurant margins.
Monthly & Quarterly Reporting
Provide Profit & Loss Statements, Balance Sheets, and trend-focused reporting to help track performance over time.
Inventory & Cost of Goods Sold
Record and organize inventory-related activity so food and beverage costs are reflected properly in the books and reporting.
Payroll & Tips Bookkeeping
Record payroll, employer costs, tips, and related liabilities so labor costs are properly reflected in the accounting records.
Sales Tax Support
Maintain organized sales and accounting information needed to support state and local sales tax reporting and filings.
CPA / Tax Preparer Coordination
We coordinate with your CPA or tax preparer and provide organized books and year-end information as part of the ongoing bookkeeping process.
