Focus on Your Guests, Not Your Books
QuantiFi's hospitality bookkeeping and accounting services keep your hotel or restaurant financially healthy behind the scenes. From nightly revenue reconciliations to payroll and occupancy tax filings, we handle the numbers so you can deliver five-star experiences.
Serving Up Financial Clarity
Running a hotel or restaurant is fast-paced and margin-tight. Between daily sales tallies, inventory management, and ever-changing occupancy rates, hospitality accounting can get complicated. In fact, the average restaurant profit margin is only about 3–5%, so even small accounting errors or cost leaks can eat into profits. Many hospitality businesses struggle with complex financial tasks – like reconciling property management system (PMS) reports, handling nightly cash-outs, or calculating occupancy and liquor taxes – that generic bookkeepers may not handle well.
QuantiFi brings hotel and restaurant-specific accounting expertise to solve these challenges. We understand metrics like RevPAR, ADR, and food cost percentages that drive your industry. Whether it's a boutique hotel, a multi-property franchise, or a local bistro, we provide tailored bookkeeping and CFO support. We'll reconcile your front-of-house systems (PMS or POS) with your books, ensure compliance with lodging and sales taxes, and deliver real-time financial reports that make sense for hospitality. The result? Owners and managers get full visibility into their operations' performance – and more time to focus on guest satisfaction, not spreadsheets.
Our team can operate as your outsourced finance department or seamlessly work with your on-site staff. We have experience serving hospitality businesses nationwide, from resorts in California to restaurants in New York. With cloud-based tools, you'll have 24/7 access to your financial data. QuantiFi offers the peace of mind that your back-office is handled by professionals who know hospitality inside and out, giving you confidence to make data-driven decisions on pricing, staffing, and growth.
Hospitality Accounting Services for Hotels & Restaurants
QuantiFi provides a full suite of accounting and financial services designed for the hospitality industry. Our key services for hotels, restaurants, and other hospitality groups include:
Bookkeeping & Daily Revenue Reconciliation
We manage your day-to-day bookkeeping, recording all sales and expenses from your property management system (PMS) or point-of-sale (POS) systems. Each night's revenue reports (room charges, food & beverage sales, etc.) are reconciled against bank deposits and credit card batches, ensuring accuracy. By tracking every transaction – from hotel room bookings to restaurant checks – we provide a clear audit trail and up-to-date books. This frees you from tedious data entry and catches discrepancies quickly.
Chargeback Monitoring & Response Management
Time is money, especially when it comes to chargebacks. We track and flag all chargeback notices from your payment processors and respond within the required 72-hour window to dispute illegitimate claims and protect your revenue. Our team prepares documentation, reconciles transaction history, and liaises with merchant providers to reduce losses and preserve your margins. By proactively managing chargebacks, we help hotels and restaurants avoid unnecessary deductions and maintain a healthy bottom line.
Accounts Payable & Vendor Management
Never miss a payment or overpay a vendor. We handle the entire accounts payable process for your hotel or restaurant – coding and entering vendor bills (for supplies, utilities, food inventory, etc.), scheduling payments to optimize cash flow, and making sure you capitalize on any early-payment discounts. We'll also manage vendor relationships by resolving billing issues and ensuring accurate records of what's owed. With QuantiFi, your chefs, front desk, and operations managers can focus on service while we keep the bills in order.
Payroll Processing and Compliance
At QuantiFi, we simplify hospitality payroll management for hotels, restaurants, and resorts. Our team supports payroll for your entire staff including front desk, housekeeping, servers, and kitchen teams, ensuring wages, hours, and overtime are entered and reconciled accurately. We work directly within your in-house payroll system such as Gusto, ADP, QuickBooks, or Paychex to manage data entry, reviews, and reconciliations with precision. While we do not calculate or file payroll taxes, we provide CPA-ready payroll reports and maintain accurate, compliant records that help your payroll provider or CPA process filings seamlessly.
Financial Reporting & Multi-Property Consolidation
Get the financial clarity you need to run a successful hospitality operation. We prepare detailed monthly financial statements, including Profit & Loss by department (rooms, F&B, etc.), Balance Sheets, and cash flow statements. If you operate multiple hotels or restaurant locations, we consolidate reports so you can compare performance across properties and see the big picture. We also customize dashboards with key indicators like occupancy %, RevPAR (revenue per available room), average daily rate, food cost %, and labor as a % of sales.
Sales, Occupancy & Liquor Tax Compliance
Hospitality businesses face a web of tax obligations – sales tax on food and beverage, occupancy/accommodations tax on rooms, tourism levies, and possibly liquor taxes. QuantiFi ensures you never fall behind. We track taxable sales, prepare and file all required monthly/quarterly tax returns, and reconcile tax payments to your books. For hotels, we handle city and county occupancy tax filings and franchise fee reports. By entrusting us with tax compliance, you avoid costly penalties and audits, and gain confidence that all taxes (from sales to occupancy) are accurately calculated and remitted on time.
Inventory & Cost of Goods Sold Management
For restaurants and hotel F&B operations, controlling food and beverage costs is crucial. We implement systems to track inventory purchases and usage, so your accounting reflects an accurate cost of goods sold (COGS) each period. Our team will help set up inventory counts and integrate with your accounting software to record inventory adjustments. We also monitor key metrics like food cost percentage and inventory turnover. By identifying shrinkage or waste (like lost inventory or spoilage), we help improve your margins.
Budgeting, Forecasting & Cash Flow Planning
Seasonality and events can make hospitality revenue swing widely. QuantiFi assists in creating budgets and forecasts that anticipate these fluctuations. We'll work with you to project revenue and expenses for upcoming quarters – factoring in high seasons, slow periods, and one-time events. We forecast cash flows to ensure you have enough liquidity during off-peak months (for example, budgeting for a resort's low winter season or a restaurant's post-holiday lull). With ongoing budget vs. actual analysis, we help you adjust in real time.
Franchise & Brand Compliance Reporting
If you're a franchised hotel or part of a branded chain, we manage the additional accounting work that comes with it. QuantiFi prepares required franchise reports, calculates royalties and marketing fund contributions, and ensures fees are paid correctly. We reconcile franchise statements (for things like reservation system fees or loyalty program charges) with your books. Our team is familiar with major hotel brand standards and accounting systems (e.g. Marriott, Hilton, IHG, etc.) and will make sure your financial reporting aligns with brand requirements.
Technology Integration & Cloud Accounting
QuantiFi leverages technology to streamline hospitality accounting. We can integrate your front-end systems – whether it's a hotel PMS like Opera, M3 or Cloudbeds, or a restaurant POS like Toast or Square – directly with your accounting software to reduce manual data entry. Our team is experienced with popular hospitality tech, including expense management tools and invoice automation (like Plate IQ for AP automation in restaurants). We'll set up a cloud-based accounting platform (such as QuickBooks Online or Sage Intacct) accessible to you 24/7.
Fractional CFO & Advisory Services
We provide fractional CFO support designed specifically for hotels, restaurants, and multi-location hospitality groups giving you executive-level financial expertise without the full-time overhead. Our advisors work as an extension of your leadership team to analyze profit margins, assess performance KPIs (like GOPPAR, RevPAR, labor-to-sales ratios, and table turnover), and uncover opportunities to boost profitability. Thinking about expanding, renovating, or preparing for a sale or capital raise? We conduct detailed feasibility studies, build cash flow projections, and develop investor-ready financial models that speak the language of franchisors, lenders, and stakeholders.

Hospitality and restaurant owners choose QuantiFi as their accounting partner because we offer a unique blend of industry-specific expertise, flexibility, and technology. Here are six reasons to trust QuantiFi with your hotel or restaurant's financial management:
We adapt to your needs – acting as your fully outsourced accounting department or working alongside your existing finance staff. Whether you need us to handle everything or just fill in gaps, our team scales with you. This liaison support model means you get help where you need it most without losing control. We become an extension of your team, available whenever you need us, just as if we were down the hall.
With QuantiFi, you gain top-notch hospitality accounting expertise without the overhead of full-time hires. Hiring an experienced hotel accountant or controller can be costly; instead, we provide that expertise at a fraction of the cost. You pay only for the services you require – saving on salaries, benefits, and training. It's an efficient way to strengthen your financial oversight while keeping expenses lean (an important factor in an industry with tight margins).
Our team knows the hospitality sector inside and out. From understanding nightly PMS reports and credit card batching to knowing how to account for gift cards, loyalty programs, or franchise royalties – we speak your language. We're versed in metrics like occupancy rates, RevPAR, and food cost ratios. This industry-specific knowledge means we hit the ground running; you won't have to educate us on why occupancy tax is different from sales tax, or how a banquet event order flows to the books. We bring proven practices from working with hotels and restaurants nationwide, helping you avoid common pitfalls and stay ahead of financial trends.
In hospitality, things change daily – that's why we leverage cloud-based systems to give you real-time access to your financial data. QuantiFi sets you up with modern, technology-driven processes: for example, daily sales and expense dashboards, automated reports delivered to your inbox, and an online portal where you can view financials anytime. Need to check yesterday's revenue or this month's labor cost from your phone? It's at your fingertips. Our commitment to transparency means you're never in the dark; you can monitor your business's financial health in real time, even while you're busy managing operations.
As your hospitality business grows – adding new locations, new revenue streams (like catering or events), or even new franchises – QuantiFi grows with you. We are experienced in multi-property consolidation and reporting, so if you operate several hotels or restaurants, we'll provide both individual property reports and consolidated overviews. Planning to expand? We'll assist with forecasting and even with setting up the accounting for your new venture. Our support is completely scalable: ramping up services when complexity increases, or streamlining when things are quieter. This flexibility ensures you're never paying for more than you need, yet never lacking support when you need it most.
QuantiFi goes beyond number-crunching. We care about your success and provide proactive advice to improve your bottom line. For example, we might identify that your food cost percentage is trending high and suggest a review of vendors or menu pricing. Or we'll alert you if your labor costs spike outside of your normal range. Clients trust us because we've demonstrated results – whether it's helping a hotel chain reduce overhead by centralizing accounting, or assisting a restaurant in improving cash flow by better managing inventory. Our existing hospitality clients, from independent eateries to multi-state hotel groups, attest to our reliability and impact. We pride ourselves on being responsive (you'll get prompt answers when you have questions) and on bringing peace of mind – knowing that a CPA-led team is keeping your financial house in order.
