Hospitality Accounting Services for Restaurants, Bars & Hotels

Most hospitality businesses don’t have a revenue problem.

They have a visibility problem.

Margins feel tight. Labour creeps up. Cash disappears quicker than expected. And the numbers don’t always tell you why.

We work with restaurant, bar and hotel operators across the UK to bring clarity to their finances – not just to stay compliant, but to help them run better businesses.

Whether you’re running a single site or a multi-location group, we give you the structure, reporting and support to make confident decisions.

What we do

We provide specialist accounting support for hospitality businesses, covering everything from setup through to ongoing financial management and long-term planning.

Getting You Set Up Properly

Getting the foundations right early saves time, money and stress later.

  • Company secretarial support
  • Tax registrations
  • Xero setup and training
  • QuickBooks setup and training

This is about setting you up with systems that actually work for hospitality – not generic templates.

Keeping you compliant is the baseline. Helping you understand the numbers is where we add value.

  • Business valuations
  • Exit planning
  • Personal tax returns
  • Capital gains tax

We don’t just file accounts. We help you understand what they’re telling you.

Ongoing Support (Weekly, Monthly & Quarterly)

This is where most of the real work happens.

  • Management accounts
  • Credit control support
  • Making Tax Digital (MTD) compliance
  • VAT advice and returns
  • Payroll & PAYE
  • CIS support
  • Employee benefits (including P11Ds)

Regular, consistent reporting means fewer surprises and better decisions.

Built for Hospitality Businesses

We don’t work across every sector. We focus on hospitality.

  • High-volume, low-margin environments
  • Complex labour models
  • Multiple revenue streams (food, drink, events, rooms)
  • Constant pressure on costs

We understand how these businesses actually run and what good looks like.

From Numbers to Decisions

Most accountants deliver reports. We help you use them. That might mean:

  • Understanding your labour percentage properly
  • Identifying where margin is being lost
  • Improving cashflow visibility
  • Supporting growth plans or new site openings

The goal is simple: clearer numbers → better decisions → stronger business
