Accounting and tax for Tuscaloosa restaurants, hotels and other hospitality businesses

Sound familiar?

• Sales arrive from several systems.

  Point-of-sale, card processors, booking platforms and delivery apps all report differently. Monthly reconciliation brings them into one set of books you can trust.

• Busy seasons and quiet ones.

  When revenue swings through the year, current financial statements show how each month actually performed and help you plan for the slower stretch.

• Margins that are hard to see.

  Food, labor, supplies and occupancy costs move fast. Regular reporting shows where the money goes while you can still act on it.

• Bars and liquor sales

  Liquor inventory and pour cost are the figures that show what the drinks a bar pours cost against what they sell for.
