[Get a Free Consultation](https://www.useforcs.com/contact/)[(607) 873-6727](tel:+16078736727) On Long Island the whole year can hinge on a few summer months, so your financials have to do more than satisfy a filing — they have to tell you whether you're banking enough in season to survive the off-season. We build restaurant accounting around per-location P&Ls, prime-cost tracking and reserve planning, with the 8.625% Nassau and Suffolk sales tax baked into the numbers. Long Island accounting rewards operators who see the season coming. We reconcile every day’s POS sales to your deposits, track [prime cost](https://www.useforcs.com/services/restaurant-operations/) so food and labor don’t quietly erode margin during the summer rush, and produce monthly financials you can act on. For multi-unit operators, per-location P&Ls show which concepts and towns are carrying the group and which are leaking — the kind of visibility that decides whether an East End room is worth reopening next May. Because we handle the Island’s specifics — the 8.625% combined sales tax in Nassau and Suffolk, the $17.00 downstate minimum wage, and cash-flow planning around a peaked calendar — your books reflect the real cost of operating here. Pair this with [bookkeeping](https://www.useforcs.com/areas-we-serve/long-island/restaurant-bookkeeping/) and [payroll & tax](https://www.useforcs.com/areas-we-serve/long-island/restaurant-payroll-and-tax/) for a complete back office, or see the full [restaurant accounting service](https://www.useforcs.com/services/restaurant-accounting/). We produce the monthly financials and per-location reporting for a multi-unit New York restaurant group, so downstate accounting and seasonal cash planning aren't theory to us. ## 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 Nassau and Suffolk — say a Garden City spot and an East End seasonal concept — we set up class tracking and produce a clean profit-and-loss for each location plus a consolidated view of the group. How do you handle the seasonal swings in my financials? We track your peak months against your fixed costs and build cash-flow projections and reserve targets so a strong summer actually funds a slow winter. Seasonality shows up in your reporting as a plan, not a surprise. Do you keep books 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 untangling a season's worth of ledger.
