Restaurant and Hospitality
"There are a lot of specific challenges associated with the restaurant and hotel business. Because MHC&S understands my industry, they are able to provide me with the services I need to stay ahead of my game. Bob McGowen and his team deliver when they say they will and what they say they will...and they are a bunch of really nice guys."
Paul Rottenberg, Owner
Orchestrate Management Association, LLC
Because the restaurant/hospitality industry has very specific needs, it requires a competent and knowledgeable CPA firm to undertake the continuous challenges. Our hospitality practice serves hotels, restaurants, conference facilities and more.
We can assist you at all stages of the business lifecycle. If you are just starting out, we can help you add financial detail to your business plan and obtain financing. If you own a facility, a cost segregation study is a great way to reduce your tax burden by accelerating the depreciation of individual assets instead of the building as a whole. We can help you take advantage of tax credits and deductions available to hotels and other hospitality businesses, while our certified fraud experts can reduce losses by helping you secure your internal controls. In addition to excellent tax and audit services, MHC&S can help you see the larger financial picture—and not just at tax time, but on a day-to-day basis. Mergers, acquisitions, franchising—we have experience in every facet of hospitality accounting.
Some of the services we provide our restaurant/hospitality clients include:
- Business Operations and Planning
- Tax Planning and Compliance
- Cost Segregation Studies
