Accounting and tax for Metairie 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.

Metairie is unincorporated; Jefferson Parish handles local property tax.

Monthly reconciliation brings sales from several systems into one set of books, and Brent Tucker, CPA, handles it for Metairie hospitality businesses. By Tucker CPA's estimate, Metairie's ZIP codes have 60.2 restaurants per 10,000 tax returns filed.

Metairie is unincorporated, so Jefferson Parish serves it. Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office Property Tax Division (Bureau of Revenue and Taxation) collects property tax, and Jefferson Parish Assessor's Office (West Bank Office) assesses property.

Louisiana Department of Revenue is the state office and IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center - New Orleans is the federal one.
