What to know before you hire.
Hospitality runs on thin margins, high transaction volume, and a workforce that moves fast — and the accounting behind it has to keep up. Alpine Mar provides financial, bookkeeping, and tax services built for restaurants, hotels, bars, cafés, and event venues, so operators can focus on guests instead of spreadsheets. Whether you run a single location or a multi-unit group, we give you clean numbers and the strategy to protect every point of margin.
Our Hospitality Accounting Services
Multi-Location Bookkeeping: We consolidate the books across every location, POS system, and bank account so you can see performance by unit and across the group. Daily sales, comps, voids, and deposits are reconciled cleanly, giving you numbers you can actually manage the business on.
Payroll, Tips, and Labor Compliance: Tipped wages, tip credits, service charges, and high turnover make hospitality payroll uniquely complex. We help you keep payroll accurate and compliant — including tip reporting and allocation — so labor stays under control and filings stay clean.
Cost of Goods and Margin Reporting: Food and beverage costs move constantly. We track COGS, prime cost, and margins by location and category so you know exactly where profitability is winning or slipping, and can act before it hits the bottom line.
Tax Planning and Compliance: From entity structure and sales-and-use tax to multistate exposure for growing groups, our CPAs build a proactive tax strategy that captures every available deduction and keeps you compliant across jurisdictions.
Cash Flow and Advisory: Seasonality, buildouts, and expansion all strain cash. We forecast cash flow, model new locations, and provide fractional CFO support so you can grow with a clear financial picture instead of a guess.
Built for How Hospitality Actually Operates
Alpine Mar understands the pace and pressure of the hospitality industry. We pair modern, cloud-based accounting systems that integrate with your POS and payroll with senior professionals who know the metrics that matter — prime cost, RevPAR, covers, and margin by location. The result is timely, accurate financials and a partner who helps you turn them into better decisions. Contact us to learn how we can support your restaurant, hotel, or hospitality group.
I’ve been through four accountants over the years, and honestly, every experience was some version of slow, frustrating, and painful. At a certain point I just assumed great accountants didn’t exist. Then I found Alpine Mar and realized I was very wrong. They are exceptionally responsive, which is huge when you run a service-based business and need answers quickly to keep things moving. You never feel like you’re chasing them or stuck waiting. After years of miserable experiences, it’s honestly such a relief to have an accounting team that feels like a true partner.
