What motivates me: I care about small businesses and their impact on the community. I was raised by a small business owner. I’ve seen the effort, commitment and dedication it takes to grow a business. I understand all the people who depend on the business owner – family, team, customers and even vendors. I have great respect for and a high regard for small business owners.

Let Us Help:

Dear Restaurant Owner,

It’s one thing to manage a restaurant; it’s quite another to grow it and feel confident the finances are all OK..

If you’re reading this, you know what I’m talking about.

It seems like the books are being handled properly. It seems like payroll is (mostly?) under control. It seems like the financial reporting is in place.

We’re okay, cash flow seems okay … most of the time. But we’re certainly not flush. We’re not growing and prospering the way I had hoped.

What are we missing?

This is a common story that we hear when we first start talking to restaurant owners. The boxes are checked; the people are in place … but the fact is, they’re not quite sure how to optimize the financials for performance and growth.

Our specialty is in reading between the lines of the systems, the softwares, and the financial statements to see the true financial story being told … even when the reports all “seem” okay (for now).

The fact is that the Federal Government would love to have more of your business’s hard-earned money in their accounts. Your employees probably don’t care about cost control as much as they should. Your inventory management might need to shift in a new direction.

But you don’t have to live in a constant state of anxiety over the state of your books. The future of your restaurant doesn’t have to be a question mark.

Let’s get a real-time reading on your business’s financial health with our bookkeeping services. Answer a few questions below to get started.

Click the button above to take your first step, and we’ll be in touch soon to follow up about your specific needs.
