Accounting and tax for franchisees, restaurants, and hospitality operators — multi-unit books, franchise reporting, and payroll-heavy compliance kept current.
Operators live with obligations most businesses never meet: franchise agreements that demand periodic financial statements, tip reporting and credits with their own forms, sales tax on food and lodging that varies by county, and royalty and ad-fund payments that must reconcile to the penny against POS data.
We run multi-unit accounting on a fixed monthly close — location-level P&Ls, prime-cost visibility — and when the franchisor or lender asks for CPA-issued statements, that's in-house: prepared, compiled, or reviewed under US professional standards, matched to what the agreement actually requires.
Location-level books and consolidated reporting — prime cost, labor percentage, and comparisons across units.
Financial statements prepared, compiled, or reviewed under SSARS — matched to the agreement's exact requirement.
Tip compliance and the FICA tip credit (Form 8846) — captured every year it's available.
Food, beverage, and lodging taxes registered and filed across jurisdictions.
High-headcount payroll configured through providers like Gusto — with labor reporting connected to the books.
Returns for operating entities and their owners — including new-unit structuring as the footprint grows.
Independent reports lenders and investors can rely on — performed under US standards, accepted on a selective basis.
