Accounting and tax for University 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.

University is unincorporated; Hillsborough County handles local property tax.

An estimated 47% of the restaurants in ZIP codes 33559, 33612 and 33613 have 10 or more employees, an estimate derived from Census ZIP Code Business Patterns 2023 and not a published figure.

The ratio of 54.5 restaurants per 10,000 tax returns filed in those ZIP codes is a derived estimate. University has no city government of its own, so Hillsborough County serves this unincorporated Florida community.

Hillsborough County Tax Collector collects property tax and Hillsborough County Property Appraiser assesses property, while the Florida Department of Revenue is the state office. Brent prepares business and owner returns for hospitality businesses in University.
