FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Got a question about our hospitality accounting services?
How can you help businesses manage fluctuating cash flows in the hospitality industry?
We recognise that cash flow is often subject to considerable variability in this sector due to unforeseen events and shifting consumer trends. To address this, we provide comprehensive cash flow forecasts considering such uncertainties. We aim to help you effectively anticipate and prepare for high and low revenue periods.
Additionally, we develop and manage adaptable budgets that respond to your business’ evolving needs. Our skilled accountants excel in pinpointing crucial cost areas and advising on spending optimisation, especially during peak seasons. We also offer guidance in establishing and maintaining an emergency fund, which is essential for navigating unexpectedly low business activity periods.
How do you tailor your accounting services for different types of hospitality businesses (e.g., hotels, restaurants, pubs)?
Each segment within this sector – hotels, restaurants, and pubs – has unique financial needs and challenges. Our hospitality accounting services are customised as follows:
- For hotels: We focus on strategies for managing room occupancy rates, event space utilisation, and ancillary services like spas and dining. Our services also include managing online travel agency commissions and optimising booking channels.
- For restaurants: Our approach includes managing inventory costs, supplier contracts, and menu profitability analysis. We also provide insights into labour cost management, especially during varying levels of business activity.
- For pubs: Key services include managing liquor licence requirements, inventory tracking for diverse beverage selections, and strategies for peak hour profitability.
Can you provide support during peak seasons or times of crisis?
In times of high demand or crisis, our hospitality accounting services are designed to provide robust support. For example, during peak season, we offer increased assistance in areas such as rapid financial reporting, real-time revenue tracking, and managing temporary staff costs. This ensures you can focus on operational efficiency and guest satisfaction.
In times of crisis, our services include cash flow management under reduced revenue, assistance with obtaining government grants or relief funds, and restructuring financial strategies to adapt to new market conditions. To learn more, book a consultation with us.
