What we handle

Built for operators, not generic small business

Every engagement is priced per location and staffed by accountants who have closed thousands of operating P&Ls.

01

Bookkeeping & Close

Daily sales, deposits, invoices and inventory reconciled per location — closed by the 10th, every month.

02

Payroll & Labor Control

Tip credits, overtime, multi-state filings and labor-to-sales tracking that flags overtime before it hits the P&L.

03

Tax Strategy & Compliance

Entity structuring, FICA tip credits, cost segregation and sales tax across every jurisdiction you operate in.

04

Franchise Reporting

Royalty, ad-fund and franchisor-mandated reporting packaged exactly the way your brand requires it.

05

Outsourced CFO

Margin benchmarking, cash forecasting, refinancing and acquisition modeling for growth-minded owners.

06

Buy & Sell Advisory

Quality-of-earnings prep, valuation support and lender-ready packages when you add or exit locations.

The engagement

Clean books in 30 days. Clarity forever.

We audit your last 12 months, location by location, and show you exactly where margin is leaking.

Week 2–3

Systems Build

POS, payroll and banking integrations wired into one chart of accounts that works across every location.

Our franchisor reporting used to be a fire drill. Now it's handled before I even ask. The lender package they built got us funded for three new builds.
