You’re probably thinking, “No way! My bookkeeper/accountant knows their stuff and has YEARS of experience.”
But here’s the truth.
No matter their education, experience, or credentials…
Most CPAs, Accountants, and Bookkeepers are generalists who serve a wide range of clients in all kinds of different industries.
That means they don’t have the time to develop the skills and expertise needed to understand the unique challenges you face as a self-employed restaurant owner (or franchisee).
How do I know that?
Well, because I know many of them. The traditional accounting firm has accounting, tax, & financial consulting clients of every size in all different kinds of industries.
But I have the unique background of being a restaurant owner in the past and doing restaurant accounting for almost 15 years (for locally owned as well as franchisees). I know the restaurant business, both operationally and financially, inside and out.
That's why I love to offer my services with my unique skill sets, experience and knowledge to this type of client. There just aren't many CPA's out there that has the in-depth restaurant business knowledge that I do.
When I thought about who I wanted to focus on serving, it was natural for me to focus on restaurant owners. It just made sense...
So I decided to reach out to these people. People I know that work so many hours each week, care about their customers and employees almost like family, and making so many sacrifices for themselves and their family.
Now, I dedicate my accounting firm to serving restaurant owners at every stage of the ownership cycle.
And here's the thing...
While you always want your restaurant business to grow, there are simple things you can start doing right away to find thousands of dollars annually to add to your bottom line that just has to do with changing how your accounting is done and learning how to understand the relationship between accounting and operations. Savings that come from lowering expenses, increasing capital and lowering your overall tax liability.
The truth is, any Accountant/CPA worth their salt should be showing you these things. But they don't, either because they don't have the time or they don't have the familiarity with the restaurant industry.
Wouldn't you want someone who WOULD take the time and who KNOWS the business?
Your accounting can be one of your single biggest powerful tools in guiding and growing your restaurant. You just need a partner willing to take the time to help you make that happen.
That's why I decided to write my latest book...
