Who we work with Book a Free Consultation
Accounting that understands your sector.
The hospitality industry runs on razor-thin margins, seasonal cash flow, and a relentless amount of moving parts. Most accountants don't truly understand that. We do.
Whether you're an independent café or a growing restaurant group, we give you the financial clarity to make decisions with confidence — not just at year end, but month to month.
From food producers and local pubs to boutique hotels and Airbnb operators, we've worked with businesses at every stage and scale across the food and drink sector.
Why it's different
The pressures only hospitality businesses face.
We don't apply a generic accounting framework to your sector. These are the specific problems we solve for food and drink businesses, every day.
Tight Margins & Supplier Costs
Food cost, labour, rates — margins in hospitality are unforgiving. Our monthly management accounts give you real-time visibility into where every pound is going.
VAT Complexity (Including Catering VAT)
Hot food, cold food, eat-in, takeaway — the VAT rules for hospitality are surprisingly nuanced. We keep you compliant and penalty-free, and flag opportunities where the rules work in your favour.
Tips, Tronc & Payroll
Managing tronc schemes and ensuring your payroll meets National Living Wage requirements for tipped workers is complex. We handle it correctly so you're never exposed to HMRC scrutiny.
Business Rates & Reliefs
Many hospitality businesses miss reliefs they're entitled to. We make sure you claim everything available, whether that's small business rate relief, retail discount, or sector-specific support.
Multi-Site & Growing Operations
Scaling from one site to several changes your financial complexity dramatically. We put the reporting structure in place before you need it, not after the cracks appear.
Getting started
From first call to fully onboarded in weeks, not months.
Switching accountants sounds complicated. It isn't. We manage the entire handover and have you set up and running before you notice the change.
-
Free discovery call
We start with a 30-minute call to understand your business, your current pain points, and what good looks like for you. No sales pressure — just an honest conversation about whether we're the right fit.
-
Tailored proposal
We put together a clear fixed-fee proposal based on your turnover, the services you need, and any one-off work required to get your books in order. No unexpected bills, ever.
-
We handle the handover
Once you say yes, we contact your previous accountant, gather your records, set up Xero, and notify HMRC on your behalf. Most clients are fully onboarded within two to three weeks.
-
Ongoing partnership
You get a named accountant, not a ticket system. Monthly management accounts, quarterly check-ins, and a team that knows your business — so every conversation starts where the last one left off.
