Your Back-of-House Finance Team – Without the Full-Time Overhead
Running a restaurant is a fast-paced, unpredictable, and complex endeavor, with numerous moving pieces—from payroll and tips to tax credits and compliance. You need more than a generic accountant. You need someone who understands the grind of late nights, last-minute audits, and the constantly shifting landscape of the hospitality industry.
At Barnes Dennig, we understand the restaurant business because we’ve been in it—supporting both single-location establishments and multi-site operations with tailored tax, accounting, and advisory services. Whether you’re a seasoned operator or scaling up, we help you cut through the complexity and focus on what you do best: serving up unforgettable experiences.
What we help with
Tax strategy & credit optimization
From tip credit eligibility and depreciation rules to state-specific rules and regualtions, we make sure you’re claiming every deduction and credit available while staying compliant and audit-ready.
Sales, food & beverage tax support
We guide you through the messy parts of sales and food and beverage tax filings, and we’re here when the state comes calling. Our team helps streamline audits and serves as your liaison with regulators.
Tip reporting, payroll & overtime tracking
Tips, overtime, and wage compliance aren’t just technicalities—they’re risk areas. We help you build better systems for tracking, reporting, and staying ahead of regulation changes that impact your team’s pay and your peace of mind.
Outsourced accounting & fractional support
Need help beyond tax season? Our managed accounting services offer consistent, accurate reporting, bookkeeping, and analysis to help you stay on top of cash flow and stay ahead of the curve.
What sets Barnes Dennig apart
With Barnes Dennig, you get more than accounting. You get a partner who understands your pace, your pressures, and your people.
We don’t just show up at tax time. Our team has been on the ground with restaurant clients during COVID-19 closures, assisting with PPP applications, ERC calculations, and everything in between. We understand that restaurants need more than a year-end return—they need someone who can adapt quickly, communicate clearly, and think several steps ahead.
We’re also backed by a deep bench of professionals across tax, audit, advisory, and outsourced services—so when your needs shift, we’ve got you covered.
Let’s make your financials as streamlined as your service.
