Spend More Time Running Your Restaurant, Not Worrying About Your Numbers
You got into this business to create something you’re proud of, like great food, exceptional hospitality, and a place people come back to.
Patrick Accounting handles the financial complexity so you can stay focused on what actually matters.
See the Numbers That Actually Matter
Prime cost, COGS, labor percentage. We track the metrics that drive restaurant profitability, not just the ones that satisfy a tax return.
Make Confident Decisions Backed by Expert Guidance
Running a restaurant comes with constant financial decisions. Having an accounting team that knows your industry changes everything.
Keep More of What You Make
From the FICA tip credit to strategic tax planning, we find the money hiding in your restaurant that most accountants never look for.
Trusted by 20+ Years of Restaurant Clients
From single-location independents to multi-concept groups, we've worked with restaurant owners across the country who care about their numbers and want an accounting partner who actually knows their business.
Monthly Accounting Built for Restaurants
We offer accounting and tax services built around the specific needs of restaurants, from the single-location owner to the growing multi-unit group.
Monthly Accounting & Bookkeeping
Your accounts are reconciled each month, with a profit and loss statement and balance sheet delivered alongside a clear summary of what changed so you can use your numbers to run your restaurant.
Tax Compliance & Filings
All required filings are prepared and submitted for you, including income taxes, sales tax, liquor tax, and 1099s, so you don't have to track deadlines or risk missing anything.
Food & Labor Cost Reporting
Your COGS, labor percentage, and prime cost are tracked against targets each week so you can catch margin issues early and make adjustments before they impact profitability.
Cash Flow & AP Management
Your bills are tracked and paid by category, with expenses and receipts organized, and weekly cash reports showing what needs to be paid and where your cash stands. A 13-week forecast is available if you need forward visibility.
Strategic Budgeting & KPI Tracking
We build custom budgets and track the KPIs that actually matter for your concept and update them as your restaurant changes. Monthly goal tracking keeps you accountable and moving in the right direction.
A Financial Partner Who Knows Your Restaurant
You have a team that explains what your numbers actually mean and walks through what changed and why. When you're considering a new location, renegotiating vendors, or trying to figure out why margins slipped, we're the call you make.
HOW IT WORKS
Simplify Your Restaurant Finances
Getting your accounting right shouldn't be as complicated as running a restaurant, so here's what getting started with us actually looks like:
Start With a Conversation
We'll spend 30-45 minutes learning about your restaurant, from your setup to your pain points and goals. We'll assess whether we're the right fit and walk you through what a partnership with Patrick Accounting would look like for your specific operation.
We Build Your Financial Foundation
Once we're aligned, we handle onboarding. We clean up your books, set up the right systems, integrate with your POS, and align your chart of accounts to capture the restaurant-specific data you actually need. We do the heavy lifting so you don't have to.
You Run a More Profitable Restaurant
With accurate numbers coming in every month, weekly visibility into your key metrics, and a team that proactively flags problems and opportunities, you can make better decisions, stop the margin leaks, and run a restaurant that's genuinely profitable.

When your accountant and your payroll provider share the same data, nothing falls through the cracks. You get a cleaner set of books, better tax outcomes, and one team that understands your whole financial picture.
