Defining a consistent 24-hour cutoff, then holding to it, is the foundation of trustworthy financials for a round-the-clock operation. On top of that, Strip and resort tenants usually owe percentage rent, so their landlords demand accurate gross-sales reporting every period. A round-the-clock restaurant needs an accounting rhythm built for it. We set a firm daily close so every 24-hour cycle is measured the same way, separate comps and promotional covers from real revenue so your margins aren’t flattered by giveaways, and track [prime cost](https://www.useforcs.com/services/restaurant-operations/) across shifts that never stop. The result is a monthly close you can trust even when the doors never lock. Nevada also shapes the picture in ways other states don’t: there is no state income tax, but there is a Modified Business Tax on wages, Clark County’s 8.375% sales tax, and Live Entertainment Tax exposure for larger venues. And if you operate inside a casino or resort, we produce the gross-sales reporting your percentage-rent lease requires. Combine this with [bookkeeping](https://www.useforcs.com/areas-we-serve/las-vegas/restaurant-bookkeeping/) and [payroll & tax](https://www.useforcs.com/areas-we-serve/las-vegas/restaurant-payroll-and-tax/) for a full Las Vegas back office, or explore the core [restaurant accounting service](https://www.useforcs.com/services/restaurant-accounting/). We build Las Vegas books to answer two questions the Strip asks constantly: what did each concept truly earn once comps and promotions are stripped out, and what gross-sales figure does the landlord get? ## What's included - **Monthly financial statements.** A clean income statement, balance sheet and cash-flow statement, closed on a predictable schedule. - **P&L by location.** Per-unit profit and loss so you can see exactly which restaurants are winning and which are leaking. - **Prime cost tracking.** Food cost and labor cost tracked together as prime cost — the number that makes or breaks a restaurant. - **Bank & card reconciliation.** Every bank and credit card account reconciled so your numbers tie out and nothing slips through. - **Cash-flow management.** Visibility into what's coming in and going out so you're never surprised by payroll or rent. - **KPI & flash reporting.** Weekly flash reports and dashboards on the metrics that matter, not a pile of raw data.

For operators running rooms across the Strip, Summerlin, Henderson and beyond, we set up class tracking and produce a clean profit-and-loss for each location plus a consolidated view of the group. How does the Live Entertainment Tax show up in my financials? If your venue seats 200 or more and hosts live entertainment behind a cover or minimum, Nevada's 9% Live Entertainment Tax applies to admissions. We account for it in your reporting and flag it in cash-flow planning so it's never a surprise. Do you keep books that my CPA can use for taxes? Yes. We keep GAAP-compliant, accrual books all year and hand your CPA clean year-end financials, so they can focus on tax strategy instead of fixing your ledger.
