About Us

Restaurant accounting built by people who've run the numbers — and the restaurants

FORCS Restaurant Accounting is a full-service accounting and operations firm dedicated to restaurants. We turn financial complexity into clarity for owners and multi-unit operators.

FORCS Restaurant Accounting was founded to give restaurant owners something most firms can't: a partner who speaks both accounting and operations. We keep GAAP-compliant books, run payroll and tax prep, and go inside the restaurant to control inventory, recipes and prime cost.

We understand the challenges restaurant owners face — unpredictable cash flow, labor complexity, inventory shrink, and the constant pressure to stay profitable while delivering a great guest experience. Most accountants only record what already happened. We help you change it: reviewing inventory, building recipes, mapping items at the line level, and delivering the weekly reporting you need to make decisions before the period closes.

Whether you run a single independent restaurant or a 60+ unit franchise group, our mission is the same — build a stronger, more profitable business, on a foundation of numbers you can trust.
