Specialist Accountancy for Restaurants
Restaurant Accountants You Can Rely On
Running a restaurant is fast-paced and demanding. Between managing staff, suppliers, and customers, keeping on top of the numbers can easily slip down the list. At Evans & Co, we’re specialist restaurant accountants who understand the pressures of the hospitality industry, and we’re here to make your finances simpler, clearer, and more profitable.
​
From independent restaurants and gastro pubs to multi-site dining groups, we help hospitality businesses across the UK manage their accounts efficiently and make confident financial decisions.
​
When you work with a general accountant, they may not fully understand the financial dynamics of running a restaurant - fluctuating margins, multiple VAT rates, and seasonal staffing can all make things complicated.
We specialise in accountancy for restaurants, so our advice is tailored to the real-world challenges you face every day.
Our dedicated restaurant accounting team helps you to:
​
-
Stay compliant with ever-changing VAT and HMRC rules
-
Improve cash flow and control overheads
-
Manage payroll, tronc, and tips correctly
-
Use cloud accounting to see live profit and loss information
-
Plan ahead with forecasting and management reporting
We take the stress out of the numbers, so you can focus on delivering an outstanding dining experience.
