I’ve owned restaurants over 45 years and have used excellent accountants thought-out my time in the industry. The information provided in this book will not replace a qualified CPA, it will help them and you, understand what your CPA does to assist the restaurant owner.
I found Zachary Weiner’s Quickbooks for Restaurants spot on for what I needed to fine tune my services to the restaurant trade.
I have found some new owner/operators think they have found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow when they invested their time and money in a restaurant. Owners draw seems to be their favorite account. Zachary gave me the tools and language to talk to my owners about having systems in place to track all cash and then deposit it daily or at least weekly for the growth of the business. Build liquid assets greater than your liabilities from the get go. Thank you Zachary.
