Why do restaurant owners need specialist accounting services?
At MSF Associates, we realise that managing a restaurant successfully is about as difficult as it comes. A general accountant, although competent in standard accounting practices, might not have the keen eye to spot industry-specific tax saving opportunities or the expertise to optimise inventory turnover to reduce waste and boost profit margins.
Moreover, when it comes to strategic growth planning, a restaurant accounting specialist provides informed guidance rooted in experience with similar establishments. In essence, a restaurant and café accounting expert – armed with industry knowledge and insights – ensure that your establishment thrives.
Our accounting services for restaurant and café owners
Some of the key accounting services we offer at MSF Associates include:
Industry-specific financial reporting
We offer monthly, quarterly, and yearly financial reports that focus on restaurant-specific key performance indicators. This would include detailed analyses of food costs, staff costs, sales breakdowns, and other relevant metrics, so you can make informed operational decisions.
Inventory accounting and management
This service has been designed to help restaurants track and manage their inventory. Given the perishable nature of much of your stock, precise and efficient inventory accounting can lead to significant cost savings by reducing waste and optimising purchasing decisions.
Tax planning and optimisation
We offer guidance on tax strategies that leverage specific tax savings available to restaurants, from equipment depreciation to spoilage. This service ensures that you benefit from all available tax incentives, credits, and deductions while maintaining compliance.
Cash flow management
Given the variability in revenue due to factors like seasonality, special events, or economic fluctuations, we provide detailed cash flow forecasts for your restaurant. It will help you plan for the future, whether it's managing slow periods or capitalising on expected busy times.
Payroll management
Our comprehensive payroll service considers the complexities of the restaurant industry, such as varied working hours, overtime, and the handling and distribution of tips. This ensures your team are paid accurately and on time while adhering to UK tax laws.
I’ve been with MSF for the past few months and what can I say, they’re levels up from my previous accountant! Manaf is easy to get to know and also helped me implement a lot of new software to streamline my restaurant financially.
