Made for the moving parts
See the story behind every shift and sale.
Sales activity, operating costs, payroll coordination, and sales-tax records all need to tell a coherent story. We help restaurant owners organize tax-ready financial information.
Track operating costs
Maintain clearer records of the expenses that come with running a restaurant, from purchases to payroll-related costs.
Prepare for filings
Bring together financial and sales-tax records needed for business tax preparation and sales-tax support.
Monthly review
How we review a restaurant month.
When these records are within the engagement scope, we compare POS sales with cash activity and card settlements, including tips, refunds, sales tax, and processor fees. We then compare the resulting amounts with bank activity and review payroll records where applicable. Unresolved differences are flagged for discussion before reports are finalized.
Not every engagement includes every item listed here. The work depends on the records available and the scope agreed with the owner.
Illustrative example—not client data
Explore bookkeeping cleanup Gross POS card sales: $10,000
Less card refunds withheld by processor: $200
Less processor fees: $250
Bank deposit: $9,550
This simplified example assumes one settlement period and no other adjustments. Tips and sales tax are reviewed separately, not automatically deducted from a deposit; cash and settlement timing can also change the comparison.
