Our services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. We offer flexible pricing options, including hourly rates, monthly packages, and project-based fees, so you can choose the arrangement that works best for your business and budget.

To get started, it's as easy as your personal name, business name and contact information! Once we dive a bit deeper, we’ll need to know more about your restaurant and existing financial systems. Typically, this includes access to your current accounting records or software, recent bank statements, POS reports and payroll details. If you use specific platforms for sales or inventory management, we may also request system access or reports. During our initial consultation, we’ll guide you through exactly what’s needed and help make the onboarding process as smooth and efficient as possible.
