ACCOUNTANTS FOR CAFÉS & COFFEE SHOPS
Financial Clarity for your restaurant or bar
We take care of your accounts, tax, VAT and payroll and help you understand what your venue is really making, so you can protect your margins and plan ahead confidently.
A full venue isn’t always a profitable one
Strong sales don’t always translate into healthy profit. Rising food, drink and staffing costs, card fees, waste and VAT can make it difficult to see what you’re genuinely making.

Common restaurant and bar questions
Can you work with the till and payment systems we already use?
Yes. We’ll review how sales and payments flow through your till, card providers and bank, then agree the most reliable way to keep everything organised.
Can you help us understand our food, drink and staffing costs?
Yes. We can help you track the figures that matter, understand what is affecting your margins and identify where closer attention may be needed.
Can you help us decide whether longer opening hours or another site would be worthwhile?
Yes. We can help you assess the likely additional sales, costs and cash requirements so you can make a better-informed decision before committing.
Will changing accountants be difficult?
No. Once you give us permission, we’ll contact your current accountant and manage the professional handover for you.
