Tax Season? We’re Built for it.
Most accountants don’t understand what makes tax planning, filing, and compliance different for restaurants.
Our alliance does.
We connect restaurant leaders with specialized tax pros who know how to navigate the chaos—seasonality, tip reporting, write-offs, cash flow swings—and proactively help you plan for it all.
Do You Need a Specialized Tax Expert for Your Restaurant?
Probably.
Whether you’re:
- A single-location operator tired of surprise tax bills and last-minute fire drills
- A scaling multi-location brand trying to get tax-smart before expanding
- Or someone who knows tax season is always a mess and wants a permanent solution…
This is for you.
What Generalist Accountants Get Wrong About Restaurant Taxes
Spoiler alert…
A lot.
Missed Deductions That Kill Your Margins
Generalists don’t know how to properly track and deduct food waste, employee meals, tip reporting, or capital improvements.
That’s money you’re leaving behind—every single year.
Poor Entity Structuring That Hurts Growth
Should your LLC own the IP? Is your lease structured tax-efficiently? If your accountant can’t answer these questions in the context of the restaurant business model, you’re exposed.
Mismanaged Tip Reporting and Payroll Taxes
Between pooled tips, credit card processing, and IRS Form 8027, it’s a minefield.
Generalists misclassify wages, ignore FICA tip credits, and increase your audit risk without realizing it.
No Proactive Tax Planning—Just Reactive Filing
Most accountants operate on autopilot: file the return, rinse, repeat. That’s too late for strategy
Without proactive planning around seasonal income, cash flow swings, and upcoming investments, you’re always playing catch-up — and it’s costing you.
What does all this mean?
Money (and opportunity) left on the table.
Let’s avoid that.
