You want to get your groove back, right?   That feeling that you really enjoy walking in the door of your restaurant, that you want to rush through your opening activities so that you can start welcoming guests for lunch ASAP?  I'm here to help you get that back.

Why?  It all comes down to a dollar.   

When I was 12 years old my parents sold their restaurant for a dollar.  Why, because it was pushing them into bankruptcy and it was the only way they could get out from under it all.  

Fast forward 25 years and I realized why.  I was sitting in an accounting class and realized that my parents didn't get the business side of running a restaurant.  They didn't know all the stuff I was learning in business school.

Today I focus on ensuring that my clients are on sound financial footing (and do not have to sell their restaurant for $1!) by providing accounting services strictly to restaurants.  That includes bookkeeping, financial statement preparation and review, and payroll services.  For our just the right client (you, perhaps?) we even throw in cost and profit center analysis.   

Just imagine the stress of having to get payroll done, A/P out the door, and knowing there is enough money to pay for those things, and yourself!  That is the service I offer my clients. 

Shoot me a DM.  

I’ll send you a free report on how to close the three biggest holes I find on most P&Ls.  

Then you can get that feeling back that has been slowly slipping away.

My obsession with serving others started when my parents gave me an Easy Bake Oven.  I loved making those little light-bulb-baked cakes and giving them to my family - watching their happiness (I realize now they may have been pretending...) and pleasure in accepting my humble gift was incredibly fulfilling even as a little girl.  So, while my career has been more like a rock wall than a ladder (operations, marketing, recruiting, talent management, etc.) it has always been steeped in being of service to others - my guests, my teams, my community, my family.  And I wouldn't have it any other way.
