Our services
Growing small businesses and startups for the past 30 years.
Accounting
Financial Infrastructure Built for Food Businesses
Most accounting firms set up your books with a generic template. We set up your books for the way a food business actually works — and that requires an entirely different mindset and methodology.
Multi-Platform Revenue Reconciliation
Your sales arrive from Toast, Square, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, and Olo — each netting out fees on their own schedule and timeline. We reconcile every platform back to source so your books reflect what you actually earned, not what an integrator estimated.
Vendor & Distributor AP Reconciliation
Missing invoices, unapplied credits, Fintech alcohol statements that don’t tie to anything — we untangle it all and build a clean accounts payable picture your business can actually operate from.
Payroll & Tip Liability Accuracy
Tips collected aren’t revenue — they’re a liability until your employees are paid. We reconcile tip accounts against every payroll run and flag discrepancies before they become legal exposure. No year-end surprises. No Department of Labor headaches.
Multi-Entity & Intercompany Accounting
Running more than one LLC? Management company charging fees to operating entities? We keep your intercompany accounts clean, your eliminations correct, and your consolidated financials ready when you need them.
W-2, W-3 & 1099 Compliance
We maintain a running reconciliation of your payroll tax accounts throughout the year — not just in January when it’s too late to fix anything. Your year-end filings come from clean, verified data, not a scramble.
Growth
Your Numbers Are Telling You Something. We Translate.
A food business generates financial data every single day. Because we’re in your books daily, we hear it in real time, and we make sure you do too.
The Three Levers
Every food business grows the same three ways: higher average transaction value, more new customers, and more frequent visits. We track all three, and help you decide which to pull.
Food Cost & Labor Cost Discipline
The two numbers that determine whether your concept actually keeps the money it makes. We monitor them by location, by period, and by category, and identify exactly where the margin is leaking.
Sales Tax Clarity Across All Channels
Marketplace facilitators collect and remit sales tax, but not always correctly, and not always in a way that matches what your POS recorded. We reconcile what was collected, what was remitted, and what your actual liability is, before the DC OTR, MD Comptroller, VA DOT or local authorities come asking.
KPIs That Mean Something for Your Concept
Not generic dashboards. The specific indicators your business runs on — average transaction value, marketplace sales growth, COGS by category, labor by shift type, occupancy as a percent of sales — tracked over time so you can see the trend, not just the number.
Forecasting & Budgeting
We build financial models that account for how your business actually behaves — seasonal swings, event revenue, lease escalators, production ramp-up. So when you’re ready to open the next location or raise capital, the numbers are already there.
Mentoring
We’ve Sat in the Room When the Deals Got Done
We’ve helped food founders raise millions, negotiate leases, structure multi-entity businesses, and navigate the moment when a concept becomes a company.
Capital Readiness
Investors and lenders don’t fund ideas — they fund financials that tell a compelling, credible story. We build that story with you, from the chart of accounts up.
Lease Analysis & Cost Modeling
We read your lease, model the full cost over the entire term — base rent, CAM, escalators, percentage rent clauses — and make sure there are no surprises at renewal or expansion time.
Exit & Expansion Strategy
Adding or buying a location, entering a food hall, or deciding it’s time to leave one — we give you the financial analysis to make that call with confidence, not instinct. Sometimes the most valuable advice is knowing when to move on.
Honest, Non-Judgmental Advisory
Wherever your books are right now, we’ve seen worse. We fix it, explain it, and make sure this conversation doesn’t have to happen again.
