Bank Reconciliation Transaction Coding Monthly Close AP/AR Management

Bookkeeping for Restaurants & Hospitality in Charlotte

A restaurant generates more transactions before lunch than most businesses do in a week, across a POS, two or three delivery platforms, and a payment processor that all settle differently. Bookkeeping here is mostly about getting those channels to reconcile cleanly and on time.

  • Daily sales journal from the POS, reconciled to deposits net of processor fees
  • Delivery platform settlements reconciled gross, with commissions booked separately
  • Invoice-level food and beverage purchase coding by category for prime cost reporting
  • Payroll posted with tips, tip credit and employer taxes reconciled to the provider report
  • Weekly close cadence rather than monthly, so the numbers are actionable

Bookkeeping records what happened, accurately and on a schedule: every transaction coded to the right account, every bank and card reconciled, AP and AR kept current, and a monthly close that ties. Done properly it is the foundation everything else stands on — a controller cannot design controls over data that is wrong, and a CFO forecasting off unreliable books produces confident projections from bad inputs.

$1,500–$3,300 / month

Flat monthly fee by transaction volume and account count. Flat rather than hourly, so asking a question never costs you money.

Under roughly 100 transactions a month with a single account, the market rate is $300–$600 and we are usually not the right fit. We are worth it once volume, channels or inventory make the close genuinely hard.

Questions About This Service

Can you reconcile our POS and delivery platforms?

Yes — Toast, Square, Clover, DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub are routine. Each settles net of its own fee structure, so each needs its own clearing account. Booking the net deposit as revenue is the single most common error we correct on takeover.

How quickly do we get numbers?

Weekly. Prime cost reporting lands within a few days of week end, and the monthly close follows the standard 10-day calendar.

How much should bookkeeping cost for a business our size?

The honest bands, full-service including a monthly close: under 100 transactions a month, $300–$600; 100–300 transactions across two or three accounts, $600–$1,200; 300–800 transactions plus payroll, $1,200–$2,500; 800–2,000 transactions with inventory or multiple entities, $2,500–$5,000. Above that it is really a controller engagement.

What makes a bookkeeping quote suspiciously low?

Scope that has not been disclosed yet. Ask who reconciles the balance sheet and how often, whether the monthly close is included or billed separately at year-end, whether 1099s and sales tax filings are in scope, and whether the fee changes if your volume grows 40%.

Do you work with our existing software?

Yes — QuickBooks Online, Xero and NetSuite are the common ones, and we integrate the payment channels that actually cause the trouble: Stripe, Shopify, Amazon and PayPal each settle net of fees and each needs its own clearing logic before the numbers mean anything.

Do you work with companies in Charlotte?

Yes. We work with clients across the Southeast and nationwide. Our team operates in Eastern time and can accommodate your schedule.
