    The Financial Realities of Running Hospitality

    From shift differentials to occupancy taxes, hospitality finance carries operational nuance no generic bookkeeper can navigate.

    DSR

    Daily Sales Reconciliation

    POS deposits, credit card batches, and cash variances must reconcile every day, not every quarter.

    Payroll Tax

    Tip Reporting & Form 8027

    Allocated tips, tip credits, and FICA tip credit calculations require meticulous tracking and IRS reporting.

    Multi-Jurisdictional

    Occupancy & Lodging Taxes

    City, county, and state lodging tax registrations and remittances vary wildly across jurisdictions.

    Reporting

    Multi-Location P&L Visibility

    Operators need property-level performance, not just consolidated totals, to manage GMs effectively.

    COGS

    Food & Beverage Cost Control

    COGS as a % of sales is the #1 KPI, and it's only as good as your inventory and waste tracking.

    Workforce

    High-Turnover Payroll

    Constant onboarding, shift differentials, and tipped wage rules drive payroll complexity.

    Tailored Solutions for Hospitality

    Operations-Aware Accounting for Hotels, F&B & STRs

    We speak hospitality: POS integrations, RevPAR, prime cost, and the daily rhythm of the industry.

    Daily Sales Reporting (DSR)

    Reconcile POS sales, credit card batches, and bank deposits every business day so variances are caught before they snowball.

    POS Integration: Connecting Toast, Square, Lightspeed, Aloha, or Opera to the GL with mapped sales categories.
    Cash Variance Tracking: Daily over/short reports by shift, server, and location to flag drawer issues immediately.
    Tender Reconciliation: Matching every credit card batch to processor deposits net of fees and chargebacks.

    Tip Reporting & FICA Tip Credit

    Stay compliant with Form 8027, calculate the FICA tip credit on Form 8846, and keep tipped-wage payroll defensible.

    Allocated Tip Calculations: Computing 8% allocations and identifying tipped employees subject to reporting requirements.
    Tip Credit Maximization: Quantifying the FICA tip credit to reduce federal income tax liability for owners.
    Tipped-Wage Audit Trail: Maintaining shift-level documentation that withstands DOL and IRS scrutiny.

    Occupancy & Sales Tax Compliance

    Manage every layer of lodging, transient occupancy, and sales tax (from city to state) across all your properties.

    Multi-Jurisdiction Filings: Tracking and filing local TOT, state lodging, and sales tax returns by location.
    Marketplace Facilitator Reconciliation: Reconciling Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com remittances to property-level books.
    Exemption Documentation: Maintaining government, non-profit, and long-stay exemption certificates on file.

    Multi-Property P&L Reporting

    Property-by-property performance reporting that lets operators benchmark GMs, units, and concepts side-by-side.

    USALI / Restaurant Industry Format: Reporting in the format your operators and lenders expect.
    Departmental Profitability: Rooms, F&B, banquets, and ancillary departments isolated for performance review.
    RevPAR & Prime Cost KPIs: Industry-standard KPIs delivered alongside the financials each month.

    Inventory & Cost of Goods Control

    Reconcile food, beverage, and supply inventories against actual usage to drive prime cost down.

    Period-End Inventory Counts: Coordinating counts, valuing stock, and posting COGS adjustments by category.
    Theoretical vs. Actual Usage: Calculating menu-engineered theoretical cost and flagging variances.
    Vendor Spend Analysis: Tracking distributor pricing trends to support purchasing decisions.
