Accountancy services for small restaurant group

I need someone to look after the accountancy and payroll for our small restaurant group

Didn't find your answer?

Hello all,

I am looking for some recommendations for out-sourcing the accounting and payroll for our small restaurant group.

It's currently with a very big firm who are unfortunately rather hopeless.  It's a very simple business with just one site at the moment but probably 2 more in the next 12 months.  £1.7m of turnover and approx 30 employees paid 4 weekly and monthly.  All the usual tronc systems.

It's on Xero at the moment (not good for 4-4-5 week accounting) with receipt bank (seems pretty good).

Weekly sales sheets capturing all the relevant data. Year end of 30th June which existing accountants will do but I want to move fast to someone new.

I could do it myself but don't have the time.

Any suggestions gratefully received!

I'd be tempted to (respectfully) edit the question. I'm quite surprised Sift hasn't "sifted" it already!

In connection with your enquiry, I'm never sure that these forums are the proper place to try and find a professional representative. Recommendation and sound research would probably be a more realistic process.

In a previous life I used to run and manage pubs for a business called Castlebank Corporation (The Heath in Haywards Heath) and my employer at the time used a guy called Peter Flaxman of www.solutions4caterers.co.uk an accountancy firm specialising in hospitality based in Leatherhead. He may be worth contacting.

Whoever you go with, please make sure they are experienced in your area of business.
I've seen some horrible results when someone hasn't understood the niceties of the hospitality industry - I'm thinking of the tronc system in particular.
