Services

Financial services built for hotels—not bolted onto them.

From day-to-day books to high-stakes tax strategy, every service we offer is designed around how hotels actually make (and keep) money.

01

Franchise-Ready Bookkeeping & Accounting

Books built on the Uniform System of Accounts for the Lodging Industry.

Monthly close, brand-compliant reporting, and a hotel-specific chart of accounts—so your numbers speak the language your franchisor, lender, and management company already use.

02

Cost Segregation Coordination

We connect you with the right specialists and put the results to work.

A cost segregation study can free hundreds of thousands in accelerated depreciation. We don't perform the engineering study ourselves—we spot the opportunity, refer you to a vetted specialist, and integrate the results into your tax strategy.

03

Hospitality Tax Planning & Preparation

Year-round strategy, not a once-a-year scramble.

Proactive tax planning built around hotel ownership—entity structuring, depreciation strategy, 1031 exchanges, and multi-state returns that keep more of your NOI in your pocket.

04

Occupancy & Sales Tax Compliance

Stay ahead of every lodging jurisdiction you touch.

Hotels face a maze of state sales tax, county occupancy tax, and city lodging tax—each with its own rate, exemption rules, and filing calendar. We keep you compliant and audit-proof.

05

Payroll & Tip Reporting

Compliant payroll for front desk, housekeeping, and F&B.

High turnover, tipped positions, and multi-property crews make hotel payroll uniquely tricky. We run it accurately, handle tip reporting and credits, and keep every filing on time.

Outsourced CFO & Owner Advisory

A financial partner in the room for every big decision.

RevPAR and flow-through analytics, budgeting, loan-covenant monitoring, PIP capital planning, and refinance/acquisition support—strategic firepower without a full-time CFO salary.

07

Property Tax Appeal Support

Build the financial case to challenge an over-assessed hotel.

Property tax is one of a hotel's largest fixed costs, and over-assessments are common. We don't file the appeal ourselves—we build the valuation and financial case and work alongside your property tax attorney or consultant to get it right.
