HEAR FROM OUR CLIENTS
Jon Kikel
Working with Melissa has made a positive impact on our business in several ways. Melissa’s attention to detail on our bookkeeping has been outstanding. Knowing our books are done right has enabled us to let go of that business function and focus more on generating new business and our bottom line. We are extremely grateful to have Melissa as part of our team and look forward to working with her for the long term.
Douglas Diakite
We were handling the books ourselves prior to bringing Melissa in to help us. With her, our businesses have become so much more organized and profitable. After only a few months we learned the importance of good bookkeeping and we now know what areas of our business we need to be focusing on. She is reliable, easy to work with, and extremely intelligent. We feel blessed to have found her.
Jonathan Steers
Melissa Horsley has specifically overseen my account over the past few years and has been an outstanding joy to work with. I personally have so much respect for Summit CFOs’ work that I have referred both a family member and a colleague to do business with them.
FAQ
Do you help with setting up and maintaining proper accounting systems for new restaurants?
Yes! We can help set up your accounting system from scratch or optimize your existing one. We'll establish proper categories for food, beverage, and labor costs, and implement systems to track your daily sales, inventory, and expenses accurately.
How can you help me improve my restaurant's profitability?
We provide detailed monthly financial analysis including food cost percentages, labor cost ratios, and prime cost calculations. We'll help you identify areas where you're overspending and provide actionable recommendations to increase your profit margins.
What tax deductions are specific to restaurants that you can help me maximize?
We are a small firm that specializes in accounting and CFO services primarily but have third-party providers we work closely with who are experts in restaurant-specific tax deductions, including FICA tip credits, equipment depreciation, food donation credits, and renovation write-offs if you need help with taxes.
How do you handle payroll and tip reporting for restaurants?
We do not have in-house expertise in payroll but we refer you to some third-party providers who we work with closely to help manage all aspects of restaurant payroll, including proper tip reporting, tip pooling calculations, and compliance with tipped minimum wage requirements if you need help in this area.
What is your price?
Our pricing is based on your business size and needs. Our services can be bundled or provided à la carte, with monthly fixed-fee options available for ongoing services. Contact us for a free consultation to discuss your specific requirements and receive a detailed quote.
