Restaurant accounting services & Quickbooks support from the experts

Our affordable bookkeeping services keep restaurant owners from spreading themselves too thin.
The long hours and neverending details of day to day restaurant business operations leave precious little time and energy for accounting tasks. Yet understanding the financial reality of your restaurant is crucial if you want to succeed and profit from your work.
Restaurants have a reputation as a risky business venture. Certainly no-one opens a restaurant without putting their heart, soul and an insane amount of hard work into it. At the Giersch Group, our bookkeeping services are at the heart of what we do. We take pride in offering professional, enterprise-level accounting and consulting services adapted to meet the needs of local restaurants, bars and other small businesses.
Successful restauranteurs know the numbers and make decisions based on data. We don’t just clean up or close your books, we teach you how to produce and understand your financial statements. Take the pain out of restaurant accounting, and let us put some heart into it. Contact the Giersch Group for a free, no-pressure consultation today.
While we draw many of our clients from southeast Wisconsin, our services are 100% virtual and available to bars and restaurants nationwide.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Why is bookkeeping the key to a successful restaurant?
Running a restaurant can be risky or highly profitable. New and established restaurants must know incoming and outgoing expenses to both grow or maintain their position. This starts with knowing the financial realities of your business.
What are the top benefits of hiring a bookkeeper as a food industry owner?
More time and accuracy. It's no secret that food businesses require a lot of time, hard work and unconventional hours. Outsourcing a bookkeeper creates more time for other responsibilities and takes away the stress of accurate financial reporting come tax season. Giersch Group services provide analytical reports that will show you how to exceed your bottom line.
Should food trucks outsource a bookkeeper?
Yes! Food truck bookkeeping presents unique obstacles, all of which Giersch Group has experience in. Our services will help you create a future-proof strategy.
